Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by CouncilofUlama.co.za

Q: Some Ulama contend that Parmalat yoghurt is now Haraam, as well as Rainbow chicken. We then have cigarettes which are Makrooh and further there the issue of Coke whichsome Ulama contend is doubtful or haraam. As a Muslim trader can we sell these items?


A: Those consumables which are haraam to consume will be haraam to sell. One may sell cigarettes. (See Ahsanul Fataawa vol 6 pg 495) Most Ulama have declared Coke permissible thus halaal to sell.
