Selling greenhouse containers

· 3 Jumada II 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Would it be permissible to design, manufacture and sell containers which will be used for greenhouse purposes, considering the fact that the main clientele might use the containers to grow marijuana?

Answer

Greenhouse containers have been primarily designed to grow plants and crops. A person could utilize the container to grow plants and crops, or it could be utilized for impermissible purposes such as growing marijuana. Since the container has multiple purposes, there is no harm in selling the containers, and there is no need to ask the customer the reason for purchasing the container. The customer will be sinful if the container is utilized (by him) in the wrong way.
