What is the ruling on opening a specialized store for selling products and tools related to sex?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
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. The second type sells only goods that are permissible in Islamic law, but their name and prevalence strip away modesty and resemble the people of disbelief. They are also frequented by the wicked. Furthermore, selling items that are predominantly likely to be used in disobedience to Allah is forbidden.
