Question

I have offered an altenative to the client that I can do the cake minus the logo and they can apply the logo themselves, but they insisit that they would like me to do it, please advise.

Answer

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is not permissible for you to design a cake with the heineken logo on it. This will be regarded as assisting in sin. Allāh Ta’ālā says:

And to do not help each other in sin and aggression. (Qurān 5:2)

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
