Learning about cannabis and selling cannabis products
Question
Please advise on whether it's permissible to study a cannabis course and learn about cannabis.
Also, is it permissible sell cannabis and cannabis products for medicinal use?
Answer
It will be the same like someone studying about wine and swine. A normal Muslim will not want to go near these items.
It is permissible to the extent of need when there is no alternate substitute.
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.
