Eating Danish products Fatwa No: 108017
- Fatwa Date:11-5-2008
Asalamu 3aleykum .. i have 2 quistion too ask. 1_ Is it aloud too eat danish foods? 2_Is it aloud too see too open the hair in front of non-muslims woman?
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
In principle, it is permissible to eat the food products produced in the aforementioned country provided the food is permissible in itself.
However, it is proven with absolute evidence that it is a religious obligation to support and defend the Prophet . It is also known that the newspapers of that country blasphemed attacked and mocked the Prophet who is the best Prophet.
Therefore, boycotting the products of this country is considered as supporting the Prophet and a deterrence to those non-Muslims to do this again, and thus Muslims should boycott their products –whether it is food products or otherwise –so that these people would become weak and stop mocking the Prophet . In this case, the mockers would realise that Muslims put in priority the defense of the Prophet over their personal interests and over everything in this world.
Indeed, it is very rude and despicable to see a Muslim buying their products while he hears and reads morning and evening about the insistence of that country on the evil they did.
For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 91149.
As regards your question about a Muslim woman revealing her hair in front of a non-Muslim woman, please refer to Fatwa 81343.
Allaah Knows best.
