There is no harm in selling medicines that are used for a permissible purpose, even if there is a possibility they might be used for a forbidden purpose, unless it is known or highly probable that the buyer intends to use them for a forbidden purpose. Based on this, it is not permissible to sell medicine to someone who is known to want it for abortion, unless there is a medical document necessitating its dispensation due to an urgent need.
