The jurists have stipulated that whatever leads to what is unlawful takes the same ruling as it. This is exemplified by the prohibition of selling grapes to one who will make wine from them, and renting a house to one who will use it for unlawful purposes; because this constitutes aiding in what Allah Almighty has forbidden. Allah Almighty says: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Everything that is used to assist in disobedience, even if it is permissible in its origin, is forbidden to sell or to work in.
