I run a transportation business i.e. I carry goods from one place to another in our trucks or rented trucks, can I transport goods containing cigarettes/pan masala as i have read that smoking cigarettes an eating pan masala is haraam in Islam.
Answer:
(Fatwa: 182/178=B)
Smoking or consuming pan masala is not haram (strictly forbidden) but only makrooh(undesirable); therefore it is allowed to earn through its transportation, the money earned through it shall be lawful.
