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.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
