The Ruling on Opening a Restaurant During the Day in Ramadan in Lands of Disbelief

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A Muslim owns a restaurant in a land of disbelief. What is the ruling on opening the restaurant during the day in Ramadan?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a Muslim to open a restaurant in Ramadan, nor for disbelievers. We do not enable disbelievers to commit transgression; we encourage them to transgress and to openly display their defiance of Islam. We encourage them to do this. A Muslim does not open a restaurant during the day. Yes.
