Selling Silk to a Disbeliever
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to sell silk to men if the buyer is a disbeliever?
The Shaykh:
If he gives it to his family, or if he gives it to be used in ways other than wearing it, like what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) gave to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, not for him to wear, but for him to dispose of it in various ways, yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
They sold it to the disbeliever on the condition that he wears it? No, on the condition that he uses it for purposes other than wearing it. Yes.
