Purchasing of smuggled products

Question: In Quetta, Pakistan, there are a lot of commodities which are smuggled from various countries are available with high quality. My question is that if I purchase such products from there on less prices and sell it in some other city on higher prices. Would it be halal on not? Condition: I’m not smuggling, but I’m purchasing the product which is smuggled. Thanking you in anticipation.

Answer: If you deal in lawful and halal items, the income will not be termed as haram, but one should avoid such a business which is against law or which endangers life and honour.
