Q: My brother sells Christmas trees, Christmas related products on which happy Christmas is written and he paid my education fee.
Will my income be halaal if i use the knowledge as a job or business that I get from my education and can I live in his house that he made from this money?
Also, he gave me a laptop that he bought from that money and I work on the laptop as a freelancer. I use the Internet on this laptop and he also pays the bill of this Internet from that money. Will my income be halaal that I make from that money?
A: He should refrain from selling Christmas trees and Christmas related products as this is not permissible. In doing so, he is promoting Christianity. However, if he also sells halaal items and the majority of his income is halaal, then it will be permissible for you to benefit from his wealth if he spends upon you. Similarly, his spending upon your education will be halaal and it will be permissible for you to use the laptop which he bought for you.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
