Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on boycotting the products of disbelievers, especially those who have a clear enmity toward Islam and Muslims?
Answer:
Is this within the authority of the one in authority? If the one in authority orders a boycott of a state, then we boycott it, because this hurts the boycotted state. As for individuals, they are happy when you boycott them, and it does not harm them. You are boycotting them, but the people are still buying from them. You do not accomplish anything by yourself. Therefore, this must be by the order of the one in authority, and the entire state must boycott this disbelieving state so that it has an effect on them.
