Opening a restaurant during the daytime in Ramadan in non-Muslim countries
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My brother owns a restaurant in a non-Muslim country, and he is confused. Should he open the restaurant during the days of Ramadan or not? It is known that there are Muslims in the country.
Answer:
No, he does not open it during the day. This is an appearance that contradicts the methodology of Islam. There is no eating or drinking during the day. He should respect the month and not open it, even if it is in a land of disbelievers, because he is a Muslim and represents Islam.

May Allah reward you,
