Buying Christmas Products and Shopping from Discounts
There is a candy shop near my house that has chocolates wrapped with pictures of Santa Claus, bells, and Christmas trees. Is it permissible to buy these chocolates? Also, there are many discounts these days for various occasions. Is it permissible, for example, to buy turkey meat because its price is lower than in previous days, and to buy clothes at this time because they are discounted?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is preferable to avoid buying chocolates like these that represent a religious symbol. As for the discounts on clothing and other items due to these occasions, it is not harmful to purchase from them and benefit from the discounts. And God knows best.
