SELLING ALCOHOL TO NON-MUSLIMS DOES NOT MAKE IT PERMISSIBLE

 

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER.

Yaum Al-Ithnayn | 28th day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1448 AH | Monday, 9th November, 2026.

SELLING ALCOHOL TO NON-MUSLIMS DOES NOT MAKE IT PERMISSIBLE

BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.

One of the dangerous misconceptions among Muslims today is the belief that selling something Haraam becomes permissible simply because the buyer is a non-Muslim.

Some Muslims argue: "I am not drinking the alcohol; I am only selling it. Besides, the person buying it is not a Muslim."

However, Islam does not only prohibit Muslims from consuming what is Haraam; it also prohibits participating in, facilitating or financially benefiting from certain forbidden activities.

ALLAH Azzawajal commands us not to cooperate in sin and transgression. ALLAH Azzawajal says:

وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ

"And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." (Qur'an 5:2).

Selling alcohol, whether to a Muslim or a non-Muslim, directly facilitates the consumption and distribution of something ALLAH Azzawajal has forbidden.

The Messenger of ALLAH ﷺ said:

"ALLAH has cursed wine, the one who drinks it, the one who serves it, the one who sells it, the one who buys it, the one who squeezes it, the one for whom it is squeezed, the one who carries it and the one to whom it is carried."

(Sunan Abu Dawud 3674; Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1295).

This narration makes it clear that the prohibition is not restricted to the person who consumes alcohol. Those who facilitate its production, transportation, sale and distribution are also included in the warning.

Our responsibility as Muslims is to obey the commandments of ALLAH Azzawajal, rather than adjust HIS commandments according to the religious identity of our customers or the financial benefits we stand to gain.

May we never sacrifice our Deen for temporary worldly gains.

To be continued tomorrow, In Shaa ALLAH.

May ALLAH Azzawajal continue to guide and protect us from the whispers of Shaytaan and every form of disobedience to HIM.

Aameen.

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
