The answer

Scholars have differed regarding the permissibility of dealing with someone who sells stolen or usurped goods. Those who permit it argue that the unlawfulness is attached to the seller's responsibility, not to the price itself. However, it is more cautious not to accept their gift and to avoid dealing with them concerning this money.
