Developing websites and software for haraam purposes
Question
I am studying to become a software developer. If I receive a request to develop a website or web application which includes something haraam in it, like making a website that will sell alcohol online, then will it be permissible for me to develop such a website?
Answer
This is not permissible. You should refrain from this.
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.
