The ruling on selling magazines and tobacco in a commercial store
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Provisions are with everyone, between what Allah has provided and the blessings of Allah and His Messenger. Likewise, the ruling, O brothers, is that they claimed that the owner believes it is obligatory that he be among the customers and not among the buyers in these campaigns.
Answer:
This is an abomination. Selling forbidden things, such as magazines and tobacco and other forbidden items, is an abomination that must be refuted, and the one who does it must be advised. The price of forbidden things is forbidden, for when Allah forbids something, He forbids its price.
So the magazines are forbidden, and selling them and their price is forbidden. Tobacco is forbidden, and its profit is forbidden. Whatever Allah has forbidden, its profit is forbidden. The Muslim must fear Allah and not let the devil say to him, "If you put these things out, they will attract customers to your store." This is from the devil. He must fear Allah and remove these forbidden things, and in the lawful there is enough to suffice him from the forbidden.[At-Talaq 65:2-3] Yes.

And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect.
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
