The ruling on fasting for those who fear to visit a commercial establishment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah guide you, what is your opinion regarding some owners of commercial establishments who, when one of them opens his shop, breaks the fast of some of his customers to visit his shop or office for the purpose of supplication and seeking blessing?
Answer:
This is not appropriate. It opens the door to evil. He opens his shop and places his trust in Allah without having to invite anyone. We rely on Allah, we place our trust in Allah, and we use honesty in our dealings, and we will succeed, if Allah wills. No cheating or betrayal. If he wants blessing, wants good, and wants sustenance, he uses honesty. He avoids cheating, lying, and deception. Yes. The Shaykh’s sons. A man came and invited him, and he was lying, persuading, and cheating. The supplication of this man did not benefit them.
