He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I work as a receptionist in a psychological counseling office, and philosophical books are sold in this office. I receive orders and sell these philosophical books. Is my work permissible?
Answer:
I do not know about these books. They must be examined to see if they are sound or not sound. As for selling books like this without examination and without a report from the scholars, do not do it. Yes. They may contain myths, or they may contain something forbidden. Yes.
