The question

What is the ruling on developing a program that includes displaying information and products related to cannabis (medical and non-medical), organizing the work of companies that produce it, facilitating their compliance with laws, displaying product certificates, monitoring rewards for buyers, organizing warehouses, and training employees? Does the ruling differ if the programmer was not aware of its nature beforehand? What is the ruling on continuing with it due to legal obligation? And what is the ruling on working with a company that develops such programs?

The answer

Cannabis is a plant from which intoxicating and narcotic substances are extracted. Its cultivation, consumption, and sale for this purpose are forbidden. If the application contributes to promoting it or facilitating its use, then it is not permissible to develop it or assist in it. Whoever was ignorant of its reality is excused, but not after gaining knowledge. Any legal obligation or agreement with the company in this regard must be rescinded. It is permissible to work with a company that develops such programs and others, provided that one is limited to permissible programs and does not participate in impermissible ones.
