Summary
Good sustenance means lawful (halal) sustenance. It is obtained by working and earning through one's own effort, including honest and trustworthy trade, or serving as a civil servant while fulfilling the conditions and terms set. One must avoid unlawful means such as fraud, bribery, usury, consuming orphans' wealth, breach of trust, short-changing in weights, theft and robbery, since the source and spending of wealth will be questioned on the Day of Judgement.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Syeikh Sa'id bin Ali bin Wahf al-Qahtani menyebut: "Rezeki yang baik adalah rezeki yang halal."
