Selling condoms and tobacco
Question
Many shops owned by muslims sell items like condoms, tobacco and other goods. Is this permissible to sell? Should I decide to open my shop, what goods should I avoid selling? If avoided will there be more barakah in my earnings?
Answer
It is undesirable to sell.
You rather find out as you think of an item because there could be a whole variety of things. As you start off your business you may find out.
Insha-Allah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
