Selling forbidden stuff

عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رضي الله عنهما، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ عَامَ الفَتْحِ وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ حَرَّمَ بَيْعَ الخَمْرِ، وَالْمَيْتَةِ، وَالخِنْزِيرِ، وَالأَصْنَامِ»، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ شُحُومَ الْمَيْتَةِ؛ فَإِنَّهَا يُطْلَى بِهَا السُّفُنُ، وَيُدْهَنُ بِهَا الجُلُودُ، وَيَسْتَصْبِحُ بِهَا النَّاسُ؟ فَقَالَ: «لَا، هُوَ حَرَامٌ»، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ: «قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ اليَهُودَ؛ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَّا حَرَّمَ شُحُومَهَا، جَمَلُوهُ، ثُمَّ بَاعُوهُ، فَأَكَلُوا ثَمَنَهُ»

Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh narrated that he heard God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) say when in Makkah during the Year of Victory:

1. God and His Messenger have forbidden the sale of wine, 2. carrion, 3. pork 4. and idols. 5. People said: ‘Messenger of God, the fat of carrion is used as a coating for boats, varnishing hide and people use it in their lanterns?’ The Prophet said: ‘No. It is forbidden’. 6. God’s Messenger then said: ‘May God curse the Jews. When God, Mighty and Exalted, forbade them the fat of carrion, they melted it and sold it, devouring its price’.

Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, the flesh of swine; and that over which any name other than God’s has been invoked; and the animal that has been strangled, or beaten to death, or killed by a fall, or gored to death, or savaged by a beast of prey, except that which you may have slaughtered when it is still alive; and [forbidden to you are] animals that have been slaughtered on idolatrous altars. And [forbidden also] is the division [of meat] by raffling with arrows; for all this is sinful.

(5: 3)

Believers, intoxicants, games of chance, idolatrous practices and divining arrows are abominations devised by Satan. Therefore, turn away from them so that you may be successful. (90) Satan seeks only to stir up enmity and hatred among you by means of intoxicants and games of chance, and to turn you away from the remembrance of God and from prayer. Will you not, then, desist?

(5: 90-91)

Say: In all that has been revealed to me, I do not find anything forbidden to eat, if one wishes to eat thereof, unless it be carrion, or blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine - for all that is unclean – or a sinful offering over which any name other than God’s has been invoked. But if one is driven by necessity, neither intending disobedience nor exceeding his bare need, then know that your Lord is much-forgiving, ever-merciful.

(6: 145)

He makes lawful to them the good things of life and forbids them all that is foul.

(7: 157)
