Selling rizla
Question
I have noticed that my father has been selling filter/rolling paper (rizla) in bulk such as in large boxes to possible retail customers. I would just like to know whether it is permissible to sell such an item given the nature of its use?
Answer
It is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
