Morality
Question
- Isn’t it immoral to benefit from evil that I did not cause?
Answer
I don’t think there is anything inherently immoral about that. But it does have a bad effect on the soul. For the sake of self-education, it is better not to derive benefit from it.
For example, you can think about using soap made from Jews (though one could debate whether burial is required, but for the purposes of the discussion we will ignore the halakhic problem).
