Q: I had invested some amount way back in IMA (Islamic monetary advisory) and I received the profit monthly. Recently, government officials has suspected that its ponzy business but its under court. Now my heart says the money earned as profit earlier is not pure. Hence I'm planning to dispose the profit earned totally.
My questions:
1. Should I give to my blood relatives who are needy but they are not saahib-e-nisaab? They are asking for money for their house construction. Can I make the intention of disposing the profit earned through IMA.
2. Also, can I give this money as hadya to others?
A:
1. Yes.
2. Wealth that is earned in a wrong way or doubtful manner must be given out in sadaqah to the needy.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
