Ruling on selling greeting cards for Christian festivals
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: He also says: There are some cards that bear the title of the Christians' festivals, such as Christmas and others. Is it permissible to carry them, distribute them, or do anything similar? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh: What appears to me is that this is not permissible; because this involves promoting them, and perhaps some people will be misled by them and think that they are permissible. It may also lead to imitating them and encouraging the imitation of them in these innovated festivals. Therefore, it should not be that these cards are promoted, nor should they be circulated among people. Rather, they should be destroyed. Yes.
