What is the ruling on the money received by the sponsor of a foreign company that was later found to store alcoholic beverages, and must the contract with it be terminated?
The question contained three matters:
The first matter: Taking an annual fee in exchange for your sponsorship of a company, and this falls under the price of influence (thaman al-jah). The second matter: The continuation of the contract with the company that stores alcohol, and this requires immediate termination of the contract because it is assisting in sin. Allah Almighty says: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." The third matter: The amount taken in exchange for the forbidden sponsorship, which must be donated to charitable causes and for the benefit of Muslims.
