Does intermediating in the sale and exchange of electronic balances for individuals who deal in potentially illicit ways (such as DropShipping, selling counterfeit brands, cryptocurrencies, IPTV, and using fake accounts) make the intermediary sinful, aiding in sin, and render his profits unlawful, or is his work unrelated to their methods of earning, taking into account that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, dealt with Jews despite their usurious gains, and the rule that what is forbidden to earn is forbidden only for the earner?
