Is it considered making zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) permissible for a state to impose taxes on brothels?

The questioner:
Is it making zina permissible when some states take taxes from brothels and prostitutes, regulate this, and issue a health card indicating that they are free from diseases?

The Shaykh:
Yes, this is making zina permissible if they take its price and consume it and make it a source of income. This is making it permissible. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as you heard in the hadith, says: The Jews are the people of anger, the people of anger upon whom Allah became angry and cursed them because of their distortion of the Book of Allah and their disbelief in the messengers of Allah. They are people of tricks and deceit. When Allah forbade them the fat of carrion, they rendered it, meaning they melted it, melted it, and then sold it and ate its price. They said, "We did not eat the fat; we ate dirhams." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says that when Allah forbids something, He forbids its price. This is a deception by the Jews regarding the rulings of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), just as they deceived regarding the hunting of fish on the day of the Sabbath.
They are people of tricks who make the prohibitions of Allah permissible through the slightest of deceptions. Perhaps we will return to this hadith in the next lesson, if Allah wills. Yes.
