Business partnership : working with someone's money obtained through Haram means

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, Is it Halal to work with someone’s money obtained through Haram means to make a Halal income for myself and him in order to pull away from Haram. Visitor notes : I have a friend who wants to setup a business and for me to help him run it as a partner. He provides finances and I provide the knowledge. I know his money was not obtained in a Halal way. Through lending money and collect what he calls administration charges and selling unlawful items like alcohol. I have asked him to stop and he keeps fearing having no income. He wants to invest in a Halal business so he can pull away from the Haram. Is it lawful for me to come anywhere near this money or for any of us to use it.
