Ruling on selling a silk garment to a polytheist man
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on a polytheist man selling a silk garment?
Answer:
The closest view to me is that it is not permissible; one should not assist him in falsehood. It is narrated from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab that he used to send some silk garments to some of his relatives who were disbelievers; but perhaps he sent them to them to maintain ties between them so that their women would wear them.
Q: What indicates permissibility?
The Shaykh: No, it is not explicit; he may have intended that they would have their women wear them.
