Developing websites and software for haraam purposes

Q: I am studying to become a software developer. If I receive a request to develop a website or web application which includes something haraam in it, like making a website that will sell alcohol online, then will it be permissible for me to develop such a website?

A: This is not permissible. You should refrain from this.

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