Question

Is it permissible to eat of the money of someone which his girlfriend gave him?

Answer

Being involved in a Haraam relationship with a girl is impermissible and displeasing to Allah Ta'aala. One should immediately break off the relationship. Since the money has been obtained through haraam means it should be returned to the one who had given it.

قال أبو عيسى حديث عقبة بن عامر حديث حسن صحيح وإنما معنى كراهية لدخول على النساء على نحو ما روي عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال لا يخلون رجلا بامرأة إلا كان ثالثهما الشيطان. (ترمذي رقم 1171)
