The Wife and Children's Consumption of the Husband's Illicit Money

Question
A woman whose husband works selling lottery tickets brings food and drink into the house from the proceeds of the lottery, but she and her children do not eat from it. She used to spend on herself and her children from money she received from her family, but now that support has stopped, and there is no money other than her husband's. Is it permissible for her and her children to eat from this money?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: this money is impure, and it is not permissible to eat from it, and God knows best.
