Question: Dear Mufti Sahib, Can a muslim sell idols?
Answer:
الجواب بعون الملك الوهاب
Muslims cannot sell idols as they would be promoting Polytheism.
Allah says in the Qur’an (Surah Nur v19): Indeed, those who love to see indecency spread among the believers will suffer a painful punishment in this life and the Hereafter. Allah knows and you do not know.
Allah also says in the Qur’an (Surah Maidah v2): and do not cooperate in sin and transgression. And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is severe in punishment.
Therefore, it is prohibited (Haram) to engage in this act.
واللہ تعالی اعلم
