Summary
In principle, giving unlawful wealth to family members is forbidden and sinful. If the giver and the family are poor, they may use it only to the extent of their needs, on grounds of necessity and preserving life. If the rightful owner of the wealth is known, it must be returned to the owner and may not be given as charity to the poor, including family members. The giver is also required to repent and provide for the family from lawful sources.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, hukum memberi harta haram kepada ahli keluarga adalah haram. Namun sekiranya mereka dalam kategori orang fakir, maka ia boleh digunakan untuk dirinya dan ahli keluarganya sekadar yang mereka perlukan sahaja.
