Designing an alcohol dispenser

· 13 Jumada I 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I work as a mechanical product designer. Recently a new project came to me, actually it will be an alcohol dispenser. This product is specifically designed for alcohol. I want to ask if it is permissible to design this product as a Muslim?

Answer

Refrain from it as we are not supposed to promote or have anything to do with alcohol.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
