Question

One of my friends, who is not a Muslim, asked me to help him sell a liquor license through which I will get a commission. Is it permissible for me to do this?

This is not permissible.

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.”
