Arabic text

2524 - أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الذَّارِعُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: وَأَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِبِشْرٍ - عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يَقْبَلُ صَلَاةً بِغَيْرِ طُهُورٍ، وَلَا صَدَقَةً مِنْ غُلُولٍ»

  1. 1

    [1] Goods pilfered from the spoils of war prior to them be presented to the commander for proper distribution. It may also refer to wealth amassed unlawfully.

Commentary

Acceptance signifies recompense, which means the one who gives charity from the unlawfully earned wealth shall not gain any reward, though, this would surely benefit the poor. It should be borne in mind that unlawful wealth is forbidden for who has acquired it by unlawful means. But since the poor are unaware of whether the charity-giver has acquired the wealth by unlawful or lawful means, its use would be permissible for them. But to knowingly accept charity from some unlawfully gained wealth is not permissible.
