Spending money earned from trading in tobacco


359

Q 3: What is the ruling on trading in tobacco products? The seller knows tobacco is Haram (prohibited) and he does not smoke, but just wants to collect money. Is this money lawful? Is it permissible for him to spend that money on Hajj or other righteous deeds?


A: Trading in tobacco and other similar products is Haram. The money gained from that trade is ill-gotten and Haram. Spending on Hajj and other righteous deeds must be made from lawful money. However, if a Muslim spends that money on Hajj or the like, his Hajj will be valid but he will still be considered a sinner.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
