Selling haraam meat

· 14 Shawwal 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Can a Muslim business sell un-halaal products (meat etc.)? The business is located in a non-muslim community.

Answer

The meat of animals that are not slaughtered according to the Shar’ee method of slaughter is carrion. It is not permissible for a believer to purchase or sell or have any dealings in such haraam. There are severe warnings recorded in the mubaarak Ahaadith for the one who deals in such haraam. Just as it is haraam to sell carrion to Muslims, it is similarly haraam to sell carrion to non-Muslims.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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.”
