Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it permissible for a person in the lands of disbelief to sell what is forbidden?
Answer:
No, a Muslim does not sell what is forbidden in any place. Because when Allah forbids something, He forbids its price. When Allah forbade the Jews the fat of carrion, they rendered it, meaning they melted it until it became grease, and they sold it. They said, "We are selling grease, not fat." This is a scheme to circumvent what Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has forbidden. So this is not permissible, and the name does not change the reality.
