Question
Praise be to Allah.
It is not permissible to sell haraam things
such as cigarettes, promiscuous magazines or magazines that promote evil,
even if they are published by Muslims, because when Allaah forbids a thing
He also forbids its price. It is not permissible to work for these magazines
because this is a kind of cooperating in sin and transgression. The income
from such sales is haraam. A person has to fear Allaah with regard to his
food and drink and all his spending. Selling gas is permissible, and there
is nothing wrong with it. If the taxes are compulsory then the one who is
forced to do a thing will be forgiven.
