Question

I am retailing make up and have an item in stock which is a lipstick that contains alcohol. Is it permissible to sell or use?

Answer

Yes, it is permissible, but avoid using it. It is possible that you may lick your lip and the alcohol may go into you.

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.”
