Is it permissible to work as an escort for a merchant who brings in goods and also carries tobacco?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in accompanying your friend on his journey, because his bringing tobacco does not make his journey forbidden. The decisive factor is the predominant intention, and your mere accompaniment of him is not a direct assistance to what is forbidden. You should advise him to avoid trading in tobacco.
