2. Charity not being Accepted from Haraam Wealth
Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “If a servant of Allah Ta‘ala earns any haraam wealth and gives it in charity, then it is not accepted from him. If he spends any of the haraam wealth then he is not granted barakah (blessings) in it, and if he leaves it behind after his demise then it becomes his provision to the hellfire. Indeed Allah Ta‘ala does not forgive and erase an evil deed with that which is evil (i.e. Allah Ta‘ala will not accept haraam wealth that is given in charity, and hence the charity will not become a means of the person’s sins being forgiven). Rather, Allah Ta‘ala forgives and erases evil with that which is good and pure. Indeed, that which is filth cannot purify and remove that which is filth.” [2]
3. Losing the Reward of Good Deeds
Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whoever purchases clothing for ten dirhams, but one of the dirhams spent to purchase the clothing was earned from haraam, Allah Ta‘ala will not accept any salaah of such a person while he is wearing this clothing (i.e. he will not receive reward for the salaah, even though he will be absolved of the responsibility of the salaah).” After narrating the Hadith, Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) said, “May I become deaf if I did not hear this Hadith from Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).” [3]
From the above Ahaadith, it is clear that earning and consuming haraam is a source of misery and misfortune in this world and the next.
