The answer

It is impermissible to sell smoking tools and tobacco, nor is it permissible to sell a shop to someone known to be selling tobacco therein, due to the assistance this provides for what is unlawful. The sale of anything known to be intended by the buyer for an impermissible purpose is prohibited. However, selling a shop to someone not known to be buying it for the purpose of selling tobacco is permissible. The sale becomes prohibited and void if the seller knows the buyer's intention for that unlawful matter. What is evident is the prohibition of selling anything whose benefit is exclusively unlawful, or whose predominant use is unlawful, or if the sale occurs with the intention of utilizing it for an unlawful matter.
