(1) Asalamualikum Mufti sahab we are an accountancy firm based in Uk.

(2) some business like grocery shops although selling wine is not their main operation but they do sell wines . Can we prepare accounts for them? Jazakallah waiting for your reply
Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. The work profile of your accounting firm is merely that of “transactional documentation” which is unrelated to the direct and implicit sale of wines or any impermissible item, therefore the work profile of your company in dealing with such clients is Shariah Compliant.
