Freelancing Project niche/Topic(CBD/THC) for medicine being Halal or Haram

Question

Assalamualikum,

I am a freelancer, I want to work on a halal project. Currently, I have received a job offer to create brand awareness/business recognition/marketing on a US Platform. I replied that, first I want to know your business topic before starting the project. 

Their business topic is providing medicine for back pain, sleep disorders, anxiety. On their website I searched for more understanding, and knowledge regarding their topic, their I saw that in the whole website few 2 to 4 female images are being used the image type is decent.

After, checking this much from my general knowledge I thought maybe I could process with this project. What I have to do is create a Social Media Account(Reddit) for their business & manage the account.

But, I stop myself from replying without clearness regarding this project income being halal & haram. In their medicine they use CBD(Cannabidiol) is generally non-intoxicating and is used for medicinal purposes such as treating pain, anxiety, or other health issues.

They also used THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) THC is the compound in cannabis that causes a psychoactive "high." 

As per my knowledge, the use of any intoxicants is explicitly forbidden in Islam. So, I searched more & as far as I guess they use the minimum 0.3% THC that is allowed for a medicine.

Now, the conclusion, is can I progress with this project? Please do check the file link that I am adding here for this topic question-asked answer that I got to know through online only. It will be helpful for me to know this topic answer for my better understanding Ing Sha Allah.

Also, I type the question in English because, I can’t type Bangla properly using my Laptop with my Banglish writing I don’t want to create more confusion.

Assalamualikum, Sheikh, as per your answer I have responded the client project offer & now the client has offered me the project proposal. But, to progress finally with this project I have one last inquiry I asked the client. I am adding the question & answer here. Can you please tell me your valuable opinion after this response? I want to confirm again before accepting this project. Can I progress with this project?

My Question to Client :

I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to work on your website. Before moving forward with the project, I would like to clarify an important point to ensure everything aligns with my personal values and the guidance I have received. As part of my belief system, I must ensure that any products I work with contain THC levels that do not lead to intoxication or impairment, which would be harmful according to my Islamic principles.
Previously, I inquired about this matter through your website’s chatbox, and based on the response I received, your team mentioned that your products contain up to 0.3% THC per dry weight. However, could you kindly confirm whether this amount or any specific product within your range, has the potential to cause any form of intoxication or a "high" that may impair a person? This clarification is essential for me to proceed with this project in good conscience, In Sha Allah.
Thank you so much for your understanding. I look forward to your response. Once this matter is confirmed, I will be able to make a final decision on accepting the project.


Client Response/Answer:
Thank you for reaching out, and I completely respect your need for clarity on this matter. To address your question: Yes, some of our products do contain higher levels of THC, and these products are designed specifically for individuals struggling with severe pain or insomnia.
THC is included because it has been shown to provide significant relief for these conditions, often when other treatments fall short. Products with up to 0.3% THC (per federal regulations for hemp) are not generally as potent as recreational cannabis. However, they can still cause mild impairment or a euphoric effect, especially for someone sensitive to THC.
I genuinely appreciate your transparency and thoughtfulness in approaching this, and I understand if this means working with us might not align with your values. Please feel free to reach out if you have more questions or want to discuss further.
