Halal . Seafood

What is the ruling regarding cross contamination between Halal food, such as a steak, and any Haram seafood? Is it allowed to have the Halal food cooked from utensils that were used for the Haram seafood?

Haraam sea food is not allowed to be eaten but it is not Najis, that is why, Halal food cooked in utensils that were used for Haraam seafood is allowed.

This is only for the non Halal seafood because it is not Najis, otherwise, every non Halal food like meat, chicken etc is Najis and utensils used in cooking it become Najis and must be made Taahir before we can use it in cooking.

It is good to mention that non Halal seafood includes every seafood except scaled fishes and prawns.

Halal . Income

What is the status of income that is an indistinguishable mix of Haram and Halal? Can it be used at all?

If you are sure that a part or percentage of the income is from unlawful source, the situation can be :

A. If you know the percentage or quantity of the unlawful funds, then you must take that unlawful part away and give it back to its real owner or if the real owner is unknown to you then to give it as Majhool Al-Maalik (funds of unknown owner) which is given to the Marje' of Taqleed to distribute it among the poor on behalf of the real owner.

B. If you do not know the exact percentage of the unlawful money or items, but you estimate it to be less than 20%, then you must pay the Khums of the whole amount, which will make the remaining amount allowed.
