The Ruling on Buying and Selling Products from the Dead Sea
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for me to buy and sell products extracted from the Dead Sea?
Answer:
The Dead Sea; I do not know, I am not familiar with the Dead Sea. They say that this is the place of the people of Lut. Allah knows best. The important thing is that they say it is dead because fish do not grow in it, or Allah knows best. The default is that it is lawful; the default regarding this is lawfulness, unless there is evidence indicating that this thing is forbidden. Yes.
