Question
I'm a bespoke furniture maker and have been asked by some clients to make some sofas for there shisha caffe. I was wondering if it would be hallal for me to do so knowing that they will be smoking shisha on my sofas? Would I use this money to pay my bills? May be? Would I go to hajj with it? Not quiet sure?
So knowing this in bit shared in accepting the job and refusing it? Please advise as soon as possible.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is permissible for you to make sofas and sell to the shisha café. Your income from making and selling the sofa will be halal. You will not be responsible for the wrong use of the sofas.[1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
