Is it permissible for a Muslim pharmacist to sell birth-control pills at random to the general public?

Answer

It is not permissible for a Muslim pharmacist to sell birth control items to the general public. He may sell such items which are not injurious, and only to such persons who have a true need. Furthermore, the male pharmacist may not sell such items to females. Their husbands or mahram males should purchase for them. It is haraam to sell to unmarried persons.
