If a rich person invited you to their house and you’re aware that part of how they got their wealth was by haraam means (a lot of rich people have probably done this) or if they weren’t Muslim or didn’t see that what they were doing was wrong. Would it be permissible to accept the invitation and eat there?
Also, another question would be technology. Steve Jobs (I think) stole some ideas about the Mac computer, would it be permissible to use an IPhone. Most of the major companies in the world have done something wrong, would it be impermissible to buy their products?

Jazzakallahu Khair.
 
wa'salaam,

The fuqaha’ differed concerning the ruling on interacting with a person whose wealth is a mixture of halaal and haraam when it comes
to buying and selling, accepting gifts, eating food, and so on. There are several opinions, the strongest of which are two: https://islamqa.info/en/17192

Thank you. The first link didn’t work though. Would you kindly explain what it said?
