Booking a hotel room for someone who will use it for zina

Q: A person I know does online booking reservation for hotels and rooms for accommodation for 5 star hotels. Some of the clients that approach him are confirmed unmarried adults who want to book rooms for zina purposes. When it is 90% sure that these are unmarried and are booking for unlawful things, if I book the hotel rooms through my website, will it be halaal income or haraam income?

A: Where you are sure that the purpose is for haraam (zina), then you should refrain from booking the room for them and taking a fee for your service.

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