Security company providing a security guard for an alcohol distribution outlet

Q: We have a security company that provides alarm systems and guards to various businesses and private residence. We had a client who signed up with us to provide a guard during the day. This client subsequently changed his business from a soft drink outlet to an alcohol distribution outlet. Is it permissible to continue providing our services to this business.

A: It is better to terminate the service.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
