Food may be wholesome in appearance, but the way the money used to obtain it was earned also matters. Income gained through fraud, theft, bribery, or withholding others’ rights is not equivalent to lawful earnings.
Example 1: A merchant earns a fair profit through honest measurement and supports the household. This is an effort toward lawful provision.
Example 2: Someone obtains money through deliberate misrepresentation or adulteration, then pays household expenses with it. The problem begins with the method of earning, not merely the spending.
The passive غُذِّيَ focuses on the condition of being nourished and draws attention to the responsibilities surrounding provision.
