If we want prosperity in this world and the Hereafter, we must observe three aspects:
• financial
• emotional
• spiritual

Religious principles for strengthening the family:

The essence of working to provide family financially is a must and is considered prayer; and laziness and boredom should be abandoned.

Family’s sustenance and the way of earning it, should be Halal. When we say something is Halal, we mean that it is compatible with the mathematical structure of mankind and its happiness. God has assigned Halal and Haram according to the structure of man.

Imam al Ridha has said: Halal means beneficial, Haram means harmful.

So, our occupation should be Halal. The income from some occupations is Haram.
Sometimes the occupation itself is Halal, but our carelessness causes our money to become Haram (not paying Zakat, Khums, …)

Sometimes the occupation itself is clean and acceptable, but actions from our part makes the whole income suspicious.

It’s our duty to not make our income suspicious (of being Haram). Seeking Halal is a duty of all men and women. God likes to see his servants get tired in the way of acquiring Halal income.

Some examples of Haram occupations:
Sometimes the occupation itself makes the money Haram. And other times, the cause is some other factors. For example:

Fraud in work, like selling used as new, selling food past its expiration date as fresh, giving named marks to one’s own designed clothing, Smuggling.

There are two kinds of advice about Haram and Halal when it comes to income:
• To have Halal income
• To avoid Haram occupations and jobs if one encounters them. We should avoid Haram.

Sometimes, our own money and sustenance is Halal. But another person’s sustenance is Haram. This should also be avoided. All infallibles have sayings about this.

Our holy prophet has said: letting go of one bite of Haram, is better than two thousand Rakat of optional Salat.

It means that avoiding one bite of Haram, is Dearer to God than two thousand Rakat of Salat. So you can see how harmful eating it can be.

Relinquishing even the smallest amount of Haram money, is very valuable to God. Now you can see how degrading using it will be.
