Collecting data on alcohol

Q: I run a market research company. One of my clients is doing a research project with regards to alcohol. They requested that I help collect the data for them. This will entail getting vodka drinkers to complete an online interview. Is this permissible?

A: It is impermissible for a Muslim to involve himself in such activity.

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

يـأَيُّهَا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا إِنَّمَا الخَمرُ وَالمَيسِرُ وَالأَنصابُ وَالأَزلـمُ رِجسٌ مِن عَمَلِ الشَّيطـنِ فَاجتَنِبوهُ لَعَلَّكُم تُفلِحون
