Q: Does our Shariah allow for the boycotting of a particular country or products from a particular country for political reasons even though the products may be halaal suitable? If we do boycott, will we be guilty of making a halaal product haraam for ourselves?
Q: The topic is always discussed of boycotting certain countries products because they are oppressors. I feel that it is not feasible for few reasons:
1. The boycott will require abstaining from thousands of products that are being utilised and not just one product or one company. I mean why should we single out only company e.g. woolworths.
2. There is no unity in Muslim community when calls for boycotts are made.
3. What difference will a Muslim minority make in boycotting certain companies? What is the respected Mufti Sahebs advice in this regard?
Q: I have done research about boycotting Israel. I have found that if you buying products of which you know a percentage of the profit is given to the Israeli government, then you are actually paying to kill a Palestinian. I feel guilty of murder. What is muftionline.co.za's view in this matter? Should we boycott?
