Is it permissible to sell a satellite dish to a Christian if he is in need of money?

The questioner : He says: An inquiry regarding the question of the satellite dish. He says: This man, after his repentance, who owns the satellite dish, if he is in need of money, is it permissible for him to sell it to a Christian?

The Shaykh : I am hesitant about this, meaning: Is it permissible or not for a person to sell what is forbidden to Muslims to the disbelievers? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the sale of intoxicants, and their sale is forbidden to Muslims and to non-Muslims alike. Similarly, when they wrote to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Zoroastrians or the Christians—I have forgotten which one—wanted to give the Muslims some of the intoxicants, 'Umar forbade them and said: meaning: Let them be the ones who sell it to one another, . In any case, I am hesitant about this issue, and I say: Rely on Allah, break it, and be glad of immediate good.
