Is income Halal? In the Submarine they sell non-Zabiha food like beef and chicken but no Liquor or Swine meat.
Question
Asslam Alikum Mufti Sahib, One of my friends has fast food shop called ?Submarine?. In the Submarine they sell non-Zabiha food like beef and chicken but no Liquor or Swine meat. One of our common friend thinks that since he is selling non-Zabiha food, which is Haram for Muslim, so his earning from this business is also Haram. Let me make this clear that Submarine is famous food chain here and all Muslim mass here knows what they sell. Anybody who consumes food from these Submarines knows what he or she is eating and responsible for that. Can you please comment on this and please let me know your bases of comments. Jazakallah Kharun.
Answer
To sell non-Zabiha food is Haraam, even if it is sold to non-Muslims. The income acquired from such a sale is Haraam.
The Fuqahaa have stated that animals that are not made proper Zabiha of, such meat are filth. The sale of filth is Haraam, and the income derived therefrom is Haraam.

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.”
