A Muslim is not permitted to sell what Allah has forbidden except in cases of extreme necessity to secure basic needs such as food, drink, and shelter, or to pay off a debt that would lead to imprisonment, or to obtain essential medical treatment. A woman who has engaged in a forbidden act without necessity must repent and seek forgiveness. She is not allowed to continue in this work or to accept payment for it, except out of necessity and only to the extent of that necessity, while striving to find a permissible source of livelihood.
