Copy rights, business promotion : [Muslim business directory : 3]
Fatawa Question
WAA Dr. Kahf Jak for the answer. Can you clarify just a little ? Our aim was to provide a professional service while also encouraging the community to support each other. The purpose of the directory is to 1. Help Muslims know the Muslims who provide services that they may need, as long as the services are permissible. But, we didn't want to promote anything Haram, for example liquor stores or casinos owned by Muslims. If a Muslim shop sells lottery, where do we set the line of allowing it on the directory or not? Or is this something we need to ask on a case by case basis? We also want to encourage clean Islamic values as much as possible. Do you say mortgage brokers could be on there, unlike liquor sellers, since while a Muslim should never be forced into alcohol, in N. America many do follow the opinion that out of necessity they have to take a mortgage ? 2. help Muslims know the non-Muslims who may provide services that are very specifically Islamic friendly [For example, some stores sell Halal certified food such as Canadian Superstore, or a stationery store that sells Eid cards].
