Selling hashish and using the money


396

A: It is Islamically prohibited to sell, buy or consume hashish whether by eating, smoking or chewing, as it intoxicates the mind and poses great health hazards. That is why intoxicants are prohibited. It is related in Sahih (authentic book of Hadith) of Imam Muslim and Abu Dawud on the authority of Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Every intoxicant is Khamr (alcohol) and every Khamr is unlawful." In addition, it is related on the authority of Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Every intoxicant is unlawful." The money gained from trading in intoxicants is considered ill gotten.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
