Drinking and selling alcohol
Question
1. If you do good deeds like fasting, salah, etc. but at the same time you have a business which sells alcohol or where you work sells alcohol, would Allah accept your good deeds like fasting, salah, etc?
2. Also, is selling alcohol the same as drinking it?
3. I heard those who drink alcohol in the dunya (world) wouldn't drink wine in Jannah, does that apply to people who don't drink it but sell alcohol?
Answer
1. Allah is pure and He accepts only that which is pure.
2. The sin is the same.
3. Obviously.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
