Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee cites hadith describing liquor as the mother of evils and cursing ten categories of people connected with it. A person who approves the sale of liquor is placed among those cursed, namely the one who orders it to be carried. That same person is also obliged to prevent the wrongdoing, in line with the hadith on changing evil by hand, tongue or heart.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
