The ruling on a partner who refuses to stop selling tobacco in the shop
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. I am a man who owns a shop. It sells foodstuffs, and I have partners with me, and we sell tobacco. I ordered them to refrain from selling tobacco, but they refused. What must I do with them, knowing that the shop’s license is registered in my name?
Answer:
If they refuse, then refuse them and refuse to be in partnership with them, and save yourself. Look after yourself and separate from them in a shop that sells forbidden things.
The presenter:
Yes.
