Is it true that if a man who gathered his wealth from haraam sources such as selling wine and manufacturing it, or making and distributing drugs, repents to Allaah, then his wealth becomes halaal?.

Ruling on money earned from haraam sources
Question: 33852
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If he knew at the time of earning haraam money that it was haraam, then it does not become permissible for him when he repents, rather he has to get rid of it by spending it on charitable causes.
And Allaah is the Source of strength.
