We have previously discussed internet cafes in no. 32772, and photography studios in Fatawa no. 36431, 48008, and 54097. It is permissible to establish an internet cafe and a photography studio and to work in them if they conform to the details explained in those fatwas; otherwise, it is forbidden. As for a religious bookstore, there is no harm in it, provided that the books are free from innovations (bid'ah) and superstitions.
