Question

What is the ruling of selling haraam items eg. biscuits etc, not alcohol and haram meat.

Answer

The Ulema have written that it is not permissible to sell such products that one is prohibited from eating. The income derived from the sale of such products is not Halaal. Therefore, it will not be permissible to sell the biscuits in question.

Can I sell items that may be used for haraam?

“1. Smoking cigarettes is Makrooh-e-Tahreemi. The same ruling that applies to smoking will be applicable to selling cigarettes, as the Fuqaha have stated that whatever is impermissible to consume, is also impermissible to sell.”
