Question:
He says: He fell into financial difficulty, so he sold a device that day which he believes has a doubtful aspect in its sale, and he asks you about the ruling? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The device was not specified so that we would know whether its sale is forbidden or not. It is known among the scholars that there are tools whose sale is forbidden, whose price is forbidden to consume, and it is obligatory to destroy them, such as musical instruments, flutes, and singing instruments. These must be destroyed, and it is not permissible to sell or buy them. Yes.
