Assalaam Aleikum,Is it sinful to buy liqor or other Alcoholic drinks to non muslims? As
for myself I have never even tested alcohol and would discourage other muslims from
doing so.
al-hamdu lillaah.
It is not permissible for a Muslim to sell wine (or any other intoxicating substance) to non-Muslims,
because the Prophet
(peace be upon him) said:
“Verily when Allaah forbids something, he forbids its price”
(i.e. forbids earning money from it). The Prophet
also cursed ten types of people relating to the
issue of wine, among them the one who sells it. In addition, selling it would be assisting and abetting
people in sin and transgression, and Allaah the Almighty has said (interpretation of the meaning):
…and do not aid and abet one another in sin and transgression. (al-Maa’ida 5:2)
It is incumbent upon you to advise those who have fallen into this evil among the Muslims, that he
should repent to Allah the Most Glorified and desist this practice.
