God is wholly good, there is no evil within Him. Evil comes into the universe [ or Middle-Earth] solely through and abuse or misuse of free will.
The opposite saying that God is the source of Evil [if only indirectly] is a form of Dualism, that JRRT most certainly did not ascribe to. When beings are given freewill, they become responsible for their actions, not God.
