If a farmer can raise bird or harvest crops and sell for everybody , Muslim and non Muslim. If a mechanic, technician, bricklayers pure water sellers etc, can do their job or provide services for everybody in this word then I see no reason why you can't do your job and earn your money for a living . The Saudi Arabia and the rest of Muslim nations sell their oil to all countries that want it including America. Pls and pls when it comes to Religion, don't allow any body or group to deceive you , your pasonal relationship with ALLAH( SWT) and your comitment to ISLAM and your good behavior to mankind and other creatures of ALLAH . People that join religion with business too much always have issues. SEEK KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ISLAM.

All the examples mentioned are not in goods used exclusively for wrongdoing, ie for religious or evangelism purposes like the banners, stickers etc which the op is asking about. In this case, you are helping them to deceive your Muslim brothers to Christianity.

@op, even if it is not helping them to convert Muslims to Christianity, the guiding rule for every Muslim should be the following hadith of the prophet (ﷺ)...

"Leave that thing which you are doubtful of, for that which you have no doubt about".

For similar questions, you might want to see these...

To be precise, you can do it. It is not in any way sinful or harmful. Islam is simply peaceful.

I don't see the reason u shouldn't do a flyer, banner, wrist band etc for christian folks, let look at it this way, have you ever thought why Allah (S.W.T) accept the marriage between a Muslim and other "alu-l-kitab"? Though the knowledge of Islam surpasses "thinking that this is how it should be" but what Allah "S.W.T." Commanded us to do.
To my own little knowledge, Islam does not support total ignore of the people of other religion.
I stand to be corrected. Allah A'alam.

Why why why!!!
WHYYYYY??!!!!

why do these people talk out of ignorance. Can't they shut their mouth that they may be saved?!

This is just too saddening, when a doctor is talking everyone keeps shut.
when an engineer is talking everyone keeps shut.
when a carpenter, tailor etc is talking everyone keeps shut.
Why is it the religion of Allah that everyone thinks he has a right to let loose his/her hideous tongue to be giving verdicts.

This act is very horrible, and the ones who have committed it should repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness.
Imam Ibnul Qoyyim wrote a book warning those who give verdicts and reminding them that they are acting as signatories for Allah.

It's very bad to see a person who doesn't even have an equivalent of primary school cert in Islamic knowledge giving verdicts about permissible matters and prohibited ones. Don't they know the implication of this horrible act.

Surah Al-Hajj, Verse 8-9:
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يُجَادِلُ فِي اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَلَا هُدًى وَلَا كِتَابٍ مُّنِيرٍ

And among men is he who disputes about Allah, without knowledge or guidance, or a Book giving light (from Allah),

ثَانِيَ عِطْفِهِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا خِزْيٌ وَنُذِيقُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَذَابَ الْحَرِيقِ

Bending his neck in pride (far astray from the Path of Allah), and leading (others) too (far) astray from the Path of Allah. For him there is disgrace in this worldly life, and on the Day of Resurrection We shall make him taste the torment of burning (Fire).
(English - Mohsin Khan)

Surah An-Nahl, Verse 116:
وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُكُمُ الْكَذِبَ هَٰذَا حَلَالٌ وَهَٰذَا حَرَامٌ لِّتَفْتَرُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ

And say not concerning that which your tongues put forth falsely: "This is lawful and this is forbidden," so as to invent lies against Allah. Verily, those who invent lies against Allah will never prosper.
(English - Mohsin Khan)

I'd rather you ask someone with deep knowledge about this.And you know what has been said about something that you don't know whether it's halal or haram,it's better to leave it.
I'll advice you to leave this until you know whether it's halal,thou it doesn't sound like it is to me

No it is not permissible because it is helping and encouraging people to sin and commit shirk.

I was able to get a similar fatwa.

Brothers and sisters, pls and pls, dont just give verdicts out of "common sense" islam dont work that way, you dont speak on issue you have no knowledge about, i appeal to you, this is the religion of Allah, when you not sure, its better to say Allah and his messenger Knows best.

This particular job(i.e producing wristbands and the likes for churches) is not permissible because, they are using it for evangelical purposes, doing it will mean, you are helping them sin more.

“Help you one another in Al‑Birr and At‑Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is Severe in punishment”{al-Maa’idah 5:2}

Muslims are asked to enjoin what is good and forbid what is bad.

“You (true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma‘roof (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden), and you believe in Allaah” {Al ‘Imraan 3:110}

And Allah knows best.

I learnt that Allah knows best is the most appropriate as the prophet (peace and blessing be upon him ) is dead and unaware of current situations.

Na'am its safer to say Allaah knows best due to the fact that the sahabas never said the former after his death(as far as i know) However, some scholars allowed saying “Allaah and His Messenger know best” after his death (sallallaahu alayhe wa sallam), like Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have Mercy on him) and some of the explainers of Kitaab at-Tawheed, relying on a passage from the Nooniyyah of Ibn al-Qayyim:

والله أعلم بالمراد بقوله — ورسوله المبعوث بالفرقان

“And Allaah knows best about the intending meaning of his words, and His Messenger, the one sent with the Furqaan (the Qur’aan).”

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen mentioned that this may only be said in issues related to the knowledge given to Him from Allaah, not things specific to the unseen that only Allaah knows. Like: Is it going to rain? Only Allaah knows. And: What is the ruling on fasting on the ‘Eed days? Allaah and His Messenger know best.

But jazakillah for the observation, i really admire your knowledge of islam.

and Allaah knows best.
