Is it permissible to sell or lease a computer program for pharmacies to organize invoices and sales of cosmetic products, knowing that the majority of these products are used for adornment and may contain pictures of adorned women?
There is no Shar'i (Islamic legal) impediment to programming software for use in permissible activities and the like for shops whose main activity is permissible, even if some of their dealings involve what is forbidden. This is not considered assisting in sin. So, if the buyer is someone who deals in both vinegar and wine, or if the seller is unsure of his situation, selling is permissible according to the majority of scholars.
