Installing Alcohol Storage and Satellite Outlets in Properties for Sale

Question:

With modern kitchen designs, there is now often a special place for storing alcohol bottles. Is it permissible for us to install such features in the kitchen, given that our intention is to sell the property, and these additions are only to improve its appearance during renovation? The same applies to satellite dish outlets. Especially considering that if such features are not installed, the value of the property decreases?

Sheikh Kamil Adh-Dhali'ee:

لا يجوز هذا العمل، لأنه تعاون على الإثم والعدوان. لكن لو أن العامل يعمل ديكورا معيناً، ثم يأتي مشتري العقار فيضع فيه بعض الممنوعات، فهذا لا يضر العامل، لأنه لم يكن يعلم بما سيعمله المشتري، أما الصورة المسئول عنها، فهي واضحة أنه يصنع لهم مكانا ليضعوا فيه زجاجات الخمر. ولهذا قلنا بالمنع.
This kind of work is not permissible, because it is cooperation in sin and wrongdoing. However, if a worker creates a general design or decoration, and then the buyer later uses it to place prohibited items, that does not affect the worker, since he did not know what the buyer would do. But in the situation in question, it is clear that a space is being made specifically for storing bottles of alcohol. For this reason, we say it is not allowed.

Sheikh Yusuf Al-Jazairi:

إذا أنت تعلم أنهم سيستخدمون ذلك في وضع الخمر وفي تركيب الدش فلا يجوز التعاون على المنكر (وتعاونوا على البر والتقوى ولا تعاونوا على الإثم والعدوان) سواء انخفض قيمة العقار أو لم ينخفض. هذه دنيا زائلة ورضى الله هو الذي به النجاة يوم القيامة.
If you know that they will use it to store alcohol or install a satellite dish, then it is not permissible to cooperate in wrongdoing. [Allah says] ‘Help one another in goodness and righteousness, and do not help one another in sin and aggression.’ Whether the value of the property decreases or not, this worldly life is temporary, and it is Allah’s pleasure that leads to salvation on the Day of Judgment.

Sheikh Muhammad Al-Ansi:

If your work and business are pure and clean, and free from unlawful earnings and from cooperating in sin and wrongdoing—as in what you mentioned about making these kitchens and cabinets that include places specifically for storing alcohol—then if you make and prepare such things, you are like those who approve of it and assist those who will drink alcohol from among the Christians. Even though their drinking is not our concern, we should not help them. Just as it is not permissible for us to produce alcohol for Christians or disbelievers to buy from us, it is also not permissible for us to make places for storing alcohol. Likewise, regarding what you mentioned about satellite dishes: yes, remain committed to the religion of Allah, seek what is lawful, and Allah will not let you be lost. Do not go along with people in sins and violations. Allah says: ‘So remain steadfast as you have been commanded.’ What distinguishes a Muslim except patience, firmness in the faith, and acceptance of Allah’s law? Even if a person faces hardship, psychological pressure, or financial difficulty, their religion is more valuable than this world and everything in it. And Allah knows best.
