Illicit money, no matter how much it is, turns into a curse for its owner. It is not just money collected through illegal means, such as theft, bribery, or usury, but it deprives its owner of blessings and exposes him to permanent losses.
Those who earn ill-gotten money often find themselves in a whirlpool of problems, whether unjustified financial losses or sudden health problems. This is because this money spoils a person’s life from within, increasing anxiety and stress, and affecting his physical and psychological health.
Lawful money, no matter how little, brings lasting blessings, while unlawful money, no matter how much it increases, burns its owner and leaves him without stability or real happiness.
