Summary
Trading with a maknyah or pondan is permissible as long as the food or products come from lawful and clean sources according to Islamic law, and the transaction complies with Islam. A buyer is not held responsible for how the seller uses the proceeds. However, if it is clearly proven that the proceeds fund immoral activities or indecent acts, it is better not to deal with them. Advice, moral education and Islamic values should still be offered.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harus jual beli dengan pondan/mak nyah dengan syarat makanan/produk mereka bersumberkan dari sumber yang halal dan bersih daripada sudut syarak serta transaksi dan urusniaga yang dibuat adalah bertepatan dengan Islam.
