God says
Yes, indeed, [O men,] We have given you a [bountiful] place on earth, and appointed thereon means of livelihood for you: [yet] how seldom are you grateful! -- Q.7:10
And when the [Friday] prayer is ended, disperse freely on earth* and seek to obtain [something] of God’s bounty; but remember God often**, so that you might attain to a happy state. -- Q.62:10
*I.e., “you may devote yourself to worldly pursuits”.
** One who remembers God will avoid what is forbidden, in this case unlawful earnings for instance.
Prophet said
“Lawful (halaal) things are manifest and unlawful are also manifest, and between the two are doubtful things which many do not realize. Whoever guards against the doubtful things, makes his religion and honor pure.” -- H: Bukhari and Muslim. N: Nu’man-b-bashir.
“No one will be truly God-conscious until he leaves aside that in which there is fear (of being unlawful) in favour of that in which there is no possibility of being unlawful.” -- H: Tirmizi and Ibn Majah. N: Atiyya Sa’di.
“To search after lawful earning is compulsory after obligatory injunctions” – H: Baihaqi. N: Abdullah-b-Masud.
