Inheritance of property illegally obtained : gifts and inheritance of Kickbaks

السؤال

Dear Scholars, Assalamu Alaikum ! i have a very strange question for you. My father passed away a several years back and before that there was a reasonable amount of money which was given to me for safe keeping. This was obtained by him as a kick back for some omission / commissions made during his tenure as a senior govt. employee and therefore Haram. Out of ignorance and lack of knowledge i did not realize the seriousness and utilized a portion of it for Forex trading which again was speculation and prohibited in Islam. I confessed to him and returned the balance amount which presumably he spent before his death [i am praying for him daily during every supplication to Almighty Allah for his forgiveness and ours]. Now after many years, the issue of this money has come up and I am blamed by my only brother [one sister and mother are other survivors] and I wish to understand how to respond. I do not want any share in that money for obvious reason but if the rest of the family, knowingly want-full or partial amount-what should I do. I seek Allah's protection from Satan and his handiwork. Ameen
