| Owning a Chain Business Serving Sausage & Bacon |
Question:
I am hoping to get a Sharia ruling or view on owning a Tim Horton cafe. Is it Haram to own this chain store? I am asking because it serves sausage and bacon on its breakfast menu. I have heard comments like one could factor out the profit and give it away as a sadaqa. Is this true?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah.
No, this is not true. The Prophet (pbuh) mentioned that when Allah Almighty prohibits a thing He also prohibits its Price. One point then it is the whole price which is prohibited not the profit alone.
Further, the act of buying these items, storing them for sale, cooking them and selling them is also haram. This means owning this chain, without taking exception of serving permissible items instead of pork products, is not permissible.
Allah Almighty knows best.
