Question:
Assalamualaikum
Is laundering illegal money of criminals, businessmen and politicians halal?
Can businessmen who engage in laundering money as their source of income use that income to do haj?
Answer:
Waalaikumussalam warahmatullah.
No to all three questions.
There is no money laundering in Islam. Haram income must be abandoned or given away without any expectation of reward or any other form of spiritual advantage other than getting rid of the fire that is burning your pocket, your belly and your soul.
