Whoever opens a liquor store or establishes a nightclub, and then dies, the sin of what is practiced therein after him will befall him; due to the saying of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: "And whoever introduces a bad practice in Islam and it is acted upon after him, a sin like that of those who act upon it will be written for him, without decreasing anything from their sins."
