The answer

It is not unlawful to benefit from your uncle's money unless you are certain or it is highly probable that it was acquired through a specific unlawful act. However, if there is doubt, it is not unlawful, because the default assumption for a Muslim's wealth is permissibility. The wealth of a restaurant owner who serves permissible foods and drinks is considered mixed wealth, and dealing with someone whose wealth is mixed is not prohibited, according to the more authoritative opinion.
