Our some relatives and friends invite me for tea and food. I know those relatives and friends earn income from haram business or unlawfully.

Please solve this matter am I right or wrong.

Answer

(Fatwa: 355/259/D=1434)

If their total or most income is haram then one should avoid eating at their homes. But if half or less than it is haram then it is allowable to eat. In case of avoiding, you should sometime express wisely why you are avoiding their income, so that they could care about making their income pure.
