Is It Permissible To Develop Software For Ticket Management Systems For Different Events?
The question, as received
I am a software engineer and i have to develop a software for ticket management system which maybe used for different events. Events can be eid event, christmas, political event, singing event. So I guess some events will be fine and some will be not fine according to Islam.
Please help as I do not want to earn haram income.
The answer
It is permissible to develop a generic software for ticket management.
Fiqh basis
This is not considered as assisting in sin as a generic software is multipurpose and not only used for sinful endeavours. Thus,the service and development are permissible in themselves and the accrued income in lieu of a permissible service is lawful.
And Allah knows best.
