Question
Is it permissible to sell mercury? The reason why I ask is that it is used for purifying gold. The gold is obtained illegally. During the night time some people dig illegally in the land belonging to companies.
Answer
If it is known that the mercury will be used on stolen gold and illegal digging in the property of others than it will not be permissible to sell the substance to such persons. It is best not to stock mercury.
