Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A person thinks about trade in this world, and when he finds an opportunity for trade, he seizes it to meet his needs and the needs of his children. He also has a share in participating in acts of charity. Is there any religious prohibition in this?
Answer:
No, this is good. If the world does not distract him from the Hereafter, then it is good. If he fulfills the obligatory acts of worship required of him, participates in doing good, and seeks sustenance, then this is a good thing. Yes.
