Is working in duty-free shops that sell foreign cigarettes and devices sinful, knowing that cigarettes are forbidden?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah has forbidden cooperation in sin and aggression, and selling tobacco is a part of that. Therefore, it is not permissible to work in a place where it is impossible to avoid selling forbidden items. However, if it is possible to restrict oneself to selling only what is lawful, then there is no harm.
