The answer

Scholars have differed regarding eating from lawful wealth that has become mixed with unlawful wealth. The preponderant opinion is that it is permissible to eat from it if the lawful portion is dominant, and disliked if the unlawful portion is dominant. One should intend, when eating, to be eating from the lawful portion. As for wealth that is entirely unlawful, it is not permissible to eat from it or benefit from it at all. Therefore, it is permissible for you to benefit from a portion of your father's wealth with the intention of it being from the lawful part.
