Receiving food from a person who deals in interest money

Q: If a person is dealing in interest money, if he sends food to our house, do we eat it or not?

A: If the person's entire earnings or the major portion of his earnings are from haraam sources, then you cannot consume the food he has given you. You should give the food in charity to a poor person without the intention of receiving any reward.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
