Fatwa #575530 May 2002South Africa

Could you please tell me that if one sells a banned item in your business, in this case a skin lightening cream which is supposed to be only sold under prescription is it allowed in sharia?

Answer

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'It is not appropriaye for a
believer to place himself in a disgraceful position.'

To sell banned items is a crime and if one is convicted, he will be
subjected to punishment and embarrassment. However, the income from such
sales will be permissible.
