Q: My father works in
Iraq
and he sends us our expenditure along with boxes of
razor blades
to sell (Part No. 13; Page No. 31) and we use the money for our expenses, because this is better as far as banknote exchange is concerned. However, I feel doubtful concerning the permissibility of doing this, as these razor blades are often used to shave beards, and rarely for shaving mustaches and pubic hair. Thus, I feel doubtful, whether it is Halal (Lawful) or Haram (prohibited). Should I sell them or not? What should we do with their value? If my family insists on selling them, so what should I do?
A:
It is not Haram for you to sell them and benefit from their price, but they are Haram for the one who intends to use them for an unlawful purpose.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
