Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "O people! Allah is Pure and, therefore, accepts
only that which is pure. Allah has commanded the believers as He has
commanded His Messengers by saying: `O Messengers! Eat of the good
things, and do good deeds.' (23:51) And He said: `O you who believe (in
the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism)! Eat of the lawful things
that We have provided you...''' (2:172). Then he (PBUH) made a mention
of the person who travels for a long period of time, his hair are
dishevelled and covered with dust. He lifts his hand towards the sky and
thus makes the supplication: `My Rubb! My Rubb!' But his food is
unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothes are unlawful and his
nourishment is unlawful, how can, then his supplication be accepted?''
[Muslim Book 08, Chapter 18, Hadith # 2214].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah An- Nahl Ayat 115. But
if one is forced by necessity, without willful disobedience, and not
transgressing, then, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. For
the grant of prayer, honest earning is essential. Allah accepts charity
only if it has been earned in an honest way. Moreover, before any pious
action, honest earning for living is essential; otherwise good actions
will also go waste.
