Ruling on Buying from Shops That Sell Prohibited Items

His Eminence the Shaykh: Some markets sell magazines and tobacco, and among the committed young men, some buy from these grocery stores, meaning: they support them. What is the ruling for the one who buys from them?The Shaykh: Meaning: the magazines contain images, tobacco, or what do you mean?The questioner himself: Markets and shops that sell tobacco, magazines, and newspapers, and the people who frequent them are committed individuals. What is the ruling for those who buy from them? Is it permissible for them to buy from these shops?The Shaykh: Yes, I understood.Meaning you say: If these grocery stores and commercial shops sell prohibited items, is it permissible for us to buy something permissible from them, or not? I see that if it is possible for you to buy from others, that is better, so that people will turn away from them, and then they will be forced to stop selling that prohibited item.
As for if you do not find any other, or if it is more suitable than others, either because it is cheaper, or because it is closer to the house, or something similar, then there is no blame on him.
