Marketing products belonging to the Rafidah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on marketing certain products for some companies whose owners are from the Rafidah, given that there are alternative products available in the market?
Such as water and the like? May Allah reward you with good.
What we see is that if it is possible for the marketing to be done by people of the Sunnah who are far from religious innovations, then there is no doubt that it is better and more excellent. Likewise, if there is, for example, a product made by disbelievers and a product made by Muslims, then it is undoubtedly preferable for a person to take the product made by Muslims. However, the other product may be distinguished by quality, elegance, or the like, in which case there is no blame on a person for taking from it. For this reason, for example, there are currently heaters from a Saudi factory, and there are also air conditioners from a Saudi factory, and other things.We say this: It is preferable that these are the ones that are marketed and purchased above all else; except if others are distinguished from them by a feature, for a person wants what is in his benefit.
