Answer

Reading pornographic magazines and illicit literature is completely forbidden and abhorred. It is Zina (fornication) of the eyes.

It will absolutely not permissible to sell these filthy magazines in your shop, whether to Muslims or non-Muslims. The money earned from these Haraam magazines will also be Haraam.
