Question
Salam,
i was wondering. In canada i know some muslim people whos father owns a hotdog stand selling hard hotdogs. He does not eat them himself but sells them. Does this mean that all his money is haram? and therefor meaning his family is living off haram money? and say if i go to there house for dinner, would that mean my food would become haram since its coming from him? please guide me
Jazakallah
Salam

In principle, if the person is selling Haram food, then the income will be Haram. Hot dogs are also sold with bread. It cannot be said that the entire income is Haram.
