Summary
Commercial dealings are treated as separate from the question of support and backing. Therefore, trading with Shia people is permitted, just as business with non-Muslims is also permitted. The fatwa refers readers to al-Halal wa al-Haram fi al-Islam by Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Isu muamalat berlainan pada isu sokongan dan dokongan. Dengan sebab itulah perniagaan dengan orang bukan Islam juga dibolehkan.
