Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I work in a shop that sells and repairs computer devices. Many people buy them; some use them for good purposes, while others use them to listen to songs and watch films. Do we have any obligation regarding this?
Answer:
If these tools are used for permissible matters and also for impermissible matters, you sell them, unless you know that the one buying from you will use them for what is forbidden. In that case, do not sell to him, because this is cooperation in sin and aggression. However, if you do not know, and they are used for good and for evil, and you are unaware, then you sell them. But if you know that the buyer will use them for disobedience, it is not permissible for you to sell to him, because you would be cooperating with him in sin and aggression.
