Is it permissible to sell engineering equipment for a project to build a warehouse that will be used to store alcoholic beverages?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A jurisprudential principle dictates that assisting in sin is forbidden, based on the noble verse: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Furthermore, a specific warning has been mentioned in the Sunnah prohibiting assistance in drinking alcohol. In the Hadith: "Allah has cursed alcohol, its drinker, its server, its seller, its buyer, its presser, its extractor, its carrier, and to whom it is carried." Therefore, it is not permissible to contribute to the construction of a project for storing alcoholic beverages, whether by selling equipment or otherwise, as it falls under the category of assisting in the consumption of alcohol.
