What is the ruling on selling pornographic films to Jews, and what is the ruling on watching them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
You are not permitted to sell these films to a Jew or to anyone else, because whatever is forbidden in Islam is forbidden, whether sold to a disbeliever or to anyone else, based on the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Indeed, when Allah forbids the eating of a thing, He also forbids its price."
So, beware of consuming what is unlawful, strive to consume what is lawful, and fear Allah; He will provide a way out for you and sustain you from where you do not expect.
