Selling Sheep to Polytheists
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says that he trades in sheep, and some disbelievers and some polytheists came to him to buy some of them from him. Is it permissible for him to sell them to them, when he does not know whether they will slaughter them for other than Allah, or why they bought them?
Answer:
If he knows that they will slaughter them, or if it is most likely in his mind that they will slaughter them for other than Allah, then he does not sell to them. But if he does not know, he sells to them. Yes.
