What is the ruling on working in a grocery store that sells American soda products (Pepsi and Coca-Cola) and cleaning products featuring images of women, knowing that the owner also owns another cosmetics store that contains some Sharia violations, and does the jurisprudential rule "All that Allah has made lawful for you, and do not consume what Allah has made unlawful for you" apply to the sale of these products?

There is no impediment to selling cleaning products whose packaging includes images of women, because such an image is demeaned and not respected, and its fate is effacement or removal. The intention is to sell the cleaning materials, not the image. It is preferable for the seller to efface its features or to forgo trading in it for other products that do not contain this prohibited element.
