his food is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, and he has been nourished by what is unlawful. How, then, could the supplication of someone in such a state be answered?

Therefore, let the believing servant of Allah fear Allah regarding his food, drink, and all his other affairs, and let him seek Allah’s help in doing so, for success lies in His hand alone. We ask Him—Glory be to Him—to grant us wholesome, lawful provision and righteous supplication that is answered. He is indeed the best One in whom to place our hope and the best Helper.
