What is the ruling on opening a specialized store for selling products and tools related to sex?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Stores selling sex-related goods are of two types: The first, prevalent in disbelieving countries, sells forbidden goods and is frequented by the wicked. Such stores are forbidden because they promote and aid in evil, and they must be denounced.

Furthermore, selling items that are predominantly likely to be used in disobedience to Allah is forbidden.
