Summary
Accepting Hari Raya money from a habitual gambler is disliked (makruh) because the money comes from a mixture of lawful and unlawful sources. The ruling applies to a person who does not make gambling a profession but has other work, following the view of Imam al-Nawawi. If someone does accept it, he is not sinful, since the sin of gambling rests on the gambler alone. The recipient must not approve of the act and is encouraged to advise the giver to repent and seek lawful income.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukumnya adalah makruh untuk menerima duit raya daripada seorang kaki judi kerana datang daripada sumber yang bercampur antara halal dan haram.
