The Ruling on Making and Selling Sweets for Innovated Festivals
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
My teacher, the Shaykh, I seek your fatwa from Allah. The questioner says: One of the brothers works in a sweets shop, and he was asked to make sweets for the occasion of a personal birthday and to put pictures of the people on them. Is this work permissible for him?
The Shaykh:
No, this is invalid and it is assisting in invalidity. It is not permissible for him to make anything for the innovated festivals, nor to celebrate them, nor to participate in them, nor to help with them. Rather, he must denounce them and advise them against them.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If he does not participate in the making, but he will sell them in the exhibition, is that permissible for him?
The Shaykh:
No, this is assistance if he sells them to those who use them in the invalid festivals.
The presenter:
So he is cooperating with them. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I have a sum of money.
The Shaykh:
Selling an item to one who will use it to aid in falsehood or employ it in a forbidden matter is among the factors that invalidate the sale.
