Questioner: Shaykh, I have a question if you would answer it. One of the brothers from the West asks, “We have vacation these days due to the celebrations of the kuffaar and I have a shop wherein I sell food and the like. This shop is open for the entire year and I do not sell anything in it connected to the celebrations of the kuffaar or their false beliefs. Normally, the shop is open six days a week, however due to the increase in customers and the increase in activities in the marketplace these days, I want to open the shop an extra day thereby making the store open seven days a week in order to capitalize on the opportunity of the increase in customers. Does this constitute endorsing/sanctioning the kuffar in their celebrations during these days or endorsing/sanctioning them in their disbelief?”
Shaykh ‘AbdulQaadir: No, this does not constitute (that). What is apparent to me is that this is not considered from the issue of endorsing the kuffaar in their celebrations...The Shaykh continues his answer in detail...
