The majority of scholars are of the opinion that it is forbidden to deal with disbelievers in any matter that is prohibited by Islamic law. And intoxicants (alcohol) are forbidden for a Muslim to drink, sell, or buy. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed intoxicants and whoever deals with them in any way. Furthermore, selling intoxicants, even to non-Muslims, is considered cooperation in sin and aggression, which is forbidden in the words of the Almighty: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
