Can a wife throw away her husband's intoxicants that are there in their home, if he bought them with his own money?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi
It is obligatory on every Muslim to stop or prevent evil acts as much as he can with out causing harm which is more than that evil act e.g. danger on life or safety.
If we can destroy or throw away alcohol or intoxicants with out causing more harm, it will be obligatory on us to do so.
Obviously, throwing such evil items will not solve the problem totally if the husband is not willing to leave it, so, it is very good to try your best to convince him to leave evil acts, but if he did not listen, then you do your best to decrease his chances to utilize such evil items at least at home. By such act you will be helping him.

Can a wife throw away her husband's intoxicants that are there in their home, if he bought them with his own money?
Seyed Ali Musawi

Salaam Allaikum,
 

In such a situation, the wife is permitted to throw them away. With this said, it is best to speak to the husband and try to reach an understanding where he himself will stop buying and using such things. Throwing them away, while permitted, is going to be a temporary solution....
Is it okay to have Muharram lectures in a banquet hall, where on other days alcohol is served and music is played?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is allowed to use or rent or hire for religious activities including Namaz, Majaalis, lectures etc, a place which was or is used in un-Islamic way on other times. It is like the road where we walk on, which is used by good people and bad people. Every one is responsible of his acts.

No doubt, we need to be sure about Taharat in the place of prostration (Sojood) of Namaz.

Musical instruments and alcohol related items should be removed during the religious gathering to keep the respect of the religious activity.

If a restaurant doing alcohol business closes down, is it permissible to get commission on helping it sell its fixed assets that does not include any stock of alcohol?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

​​​​​If they close down with out any plans to restart alcohol business somewhere else, then helping them to sell stocks not linked with alcohol is allowed.

If they want to do the same unlawful business again, then it is not permissible to help them in any way.

In any case, helping in selling any material which can be used in alcohol is absolutely forbidden.

Wassalam.
