The answer

If devices are used for reprehensible matters that harm one's creed, or for viewing obscene images and films, or vile news, or suspicious chats, or forbidden games, and these reprehensible acts cannot be prevented, then trading in them is unlawful, because it constitutes aiding in sin and forbidden acts. Allah Almighty says: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty).
