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.
