Selling items specific to the festivals of disbelievers and eating from their price

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a Muslim sells items specific to the festivals of disbelievers, and then buys food with that money, is it permissible for him to eat from it?

Answer:
If he knows that they use them for their festivals, he must not assist them in falsehood; he does not sell to them, and it is not permissible for him to do so. However, if he does not know that they use them for their festivals, he may sell to them. Yes.
