Becoming an agent for selling a liquor licence

Q: One of my friends, who is not a Muslim, asked me to help him sell a liquor license through which I will get a commission. Is it permissible for me to do this?

A: This is not permissible.

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

والاستئجار على المعاصي باطل فإن بعقد الإجارة يستحق تسليم المعقود عليه شرعا ولا يجوز أن يستحق على المرء فعل به يكون عاصيا شرعا (المبسوط للسرخسي 16/38)
