Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If the amount is been invested in lawful business away from unlawful business e.g. alcohol, pork, usury etc, then the income from it will be lawful. Such income can not be fixed by a percentage from the capital, but it must depend on the profit if any.

Fixed amounts given by non Muslims is allowed for the Muslim to receive and utilize in lawful needs and aims.
