of shaking hands; similarly, the blessed act of exchanging gifts removes hatred. (Mirat-ul Manajeeh, vol. 6, pp. 368)

Dear Islamic brothers! Remember! Whether it is the act of exchanging gifts or any other matter, only Halal means must be adopted, because it is a Haraam act and sin to use the wealth earned by Haram means for the purposes such as food, clothing etc. The punishment for this in the world is experiencing a shortage in wealth and having no blessings in the livelihood and the punishment in the Hereafter is the blazing fire of Hell.

Good deeds performed using Haraam means are of no use because Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is Pure and accepts only pure things. The Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: That person who earns Haraam wealth and gives it away in charity, it will not be accepted from him. Whatever he spends will be devoid of blessings, and that which he leaves behind in this world, will become a means of leading [him] to Hell. (Sharh-us-Sunnah lil-Baghawi, vol. 4, pp. 205/206, Hadees 2023)

Therefore, we should earn by lawful means only and whatever remains after fulfilling all your needs, assist the poor Muslims instead of destroying it, spend as much wealth as you can to do righteous deeds like building Masajid and Madaris, in this way, loads of blessings will be showered اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ.  It is stated in the Glorious Quran:

اَلَّذِیۡنَ یُنۡفِقُوۡنَ اَمۡوَالَہُمۡ بِالَّیۡلِ وَ النَّہَارِ سِرًّا
وَّ عَلَانِیَۃً فَلَہُمۡ اَجۡرُہُمۡ عِنۡدَ رَبِّہِمۡ ۚ وَ لَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَیۡہِمۡ وَ لَا ہُمۡ یَحۡزَنُوۡنَ ﴿۲۷۴﴾ؔ

Those who spend their wealth by night and day, secretly and openly - their reward is with their Lord; and there shall be no fear upon them nor shall they grieve. (Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 274)
