Selling Silk to a Disbeliever
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to sell silk to men if the buyer is a disbeliever?
The Shaykh:
If he gives it to his family and he disposes of it in ways other than wearing it, such that it does not contradict what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) gave to 'Umar, not for him to wear it, but for him to dispose of it in various ways. Yes.
The questioner:
Very honorable.
The Shaykh:
He sold it to the disbeliever for him to wear it? No, he sold it to him to use it for other than wearing it. Yes.
