Does selling shisha and backgammon in the shop make the earnings unlawful or lawful?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Selling shisha or its parts is prohibited because it is predominantly used for smoking, and smoking is forbidden due to its clear harm. As for selling "dominoes," it is originally permissible, but it becomes forbidden to sell them to someone known to be using them for gambling or neglecting religious obligations, as this constitutes aiding in a forbidden act.
