Income . Haram

If I find out part of my income is Haram but I am uncertain about the amount or whether any of it remains unspent, what steps can I take? Will the income be considered Halal since I was unaware it was earned through Haram means?

If you find out that any part of your income is unlawful (Haraam), you must give it back either to the real owners of it, and if you can’t reach to the real owners, then to the Muslim authority ( Haakim al-Share who is the Marja; of Taqleed) to give it to the poor as Majhool al-Malik (unknown owner fund).

Your late knowledge about the Haraam does not release you from your responsibility to give it back totally including what you spent from it.

Haram . Income . Family . Parents . Students

I am currently relying on food and water from Haram income sources due to family circumstances, and I have little control over it. As a student without job options, how should I address this issue with my parents without causing negative repercussions?

If you don't have a definite evidence that it is from Haraam source, you will permissible to utilise it. If you have a definite clear evidence that all the income is from Haraam source, then you have to avoid Haraam as much as you can.

Bismihi ta'ala

No, you are not obliged to share details about this with anyone, and it is none of anyone's concern as to how much you earn.

A parent might be concerned about your spending, or if you are being paid fairly, or something like that, so communication on that level is beneficial, and you should not be that sensitive as well.
