Hazrat Abu Hurairah reported that Rasulullah said : “Certainly Allah is Pure. He does not accept but pure, and certainly Allah commanded the Believers to do that which He commanded the Messengers (of Allah) to do. So He said : ‘O Messengers, eat out of the good (halaal and wholesome) things and perform righteous deeds.’ and similarly Allah Ta’ala said :
‘O you who Believe, eat out of the good things We have given you.’
Then he (Rasulullah (SAW)) mentioned a person who undertakes a long journey, his hair is disheveled, and his body covered with dust. He raises his hands towards the sky and says :‘O my Sustainer, O my Sustainer’, whereas the food that he eats is haraam (from unlawful earnings); the clothes he wears is Haraam; and he has been nourished with haraam (food). How then will his du’aa be accepted ?”
Rasulullah (SAW) said : “The meat and blood that has been nourished with Haraam wealth will not enter Jannah. It is only suitable for Jahannum.”
If a person sincerely repents from Haraam; returning what was usurped, repaying that which is rightfully due, giving up that which draws haraam income (gambling, interest, embezzlement, etc.), and giving up Haraam food and drink, then his duas will thereafter be accepted and he will gain salvation from Jahannum. Insha-Allah.
