Ethical Question About Income
Salam
I worked with a subcontractor who was working on behalf of a company. I completed a small assignment for two days and was paid for the work.
However, I knew that the contractor had previously employed someone with the same first name as me but a different surname. I was instructed that if anyone asked for my name, I should provide the other person’s name instead of my real name.
I have now received payment for the work I completed, but I feel conflicted about whether it is ethically acceptable for me to keep and use this money, given that I was asked to provide false identification. Would it be better for me to donate the amount instead, since I feel that the way the work was arranged was unethical? Also, I have decided not to do it again.

Sometimes, an anomaly exists merely to fulfil documentary requirements. Although this isn’t ideal, it isn’t necessarily deception intended to harm anyone; rather, it may be a way to avoid legal complications.
Your work is halal, and so is your income. You are paid against your work. The rest does not affect the validity of your income.
