AI Guidance
Use this as a first-pass explanation. The verified scholar section below carries more trust.
Educational answer
Selling alcohol is generally impermissible even if the seller does not drink it, because the work directly facilitates a prohibited product.
This is not a fatwa
This is general information for learning and search discovery. A final ruling can change based on contract terms, role details, necessity, local law, and the scholar's methodology.
What changes the answer
1. Is alcohol the item being sold, stocked, delivered, or promoted?
2. Is your role directly connected to alcohol revenue?
3. Can you shift to selling permissible goods?
Practical next step
Plan a move away from direct alcohol sales and ask a scholar how to handle existing income.
