Is it permissible to sell anime products designated for teenagers and adults, which contain scenes of intoxication and alcohol, details of the female body, and music, knowing that the products offered for sale are bracelets, medals, clothes, necklaces, gloves, and character images, and not videos or music? And what should be done with the existing products and the profits generated from them, given the presence of a partner? And is it permissible to continue purchasing from a Chinese website using the same account, which has become distinguished due to orders for the anime product sales project, if selling these products is forbidden?
It is not permissible to publish or promote Japanese anime due to its inclusion of objectionable elements such as music, nudity, pagan culture, and mixing of genders. Selling related items such as bracelets, necklaces, gloves, or clothes is considered promoting it and is therefore prohibited, based on Allah's saying: ﴿And do not cooperate in sin and aggression.﴾ The prohibition becomes even stronger if it contains anime images, due to the impermissibility of selling images of living beings, and they must be obliterated. What is forbidden to possess is forbidden to sell and buy. It is permissible to benefit from an electronic account provided that you only sell what is permissible.
