Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"It is not forbidden to deal with someone who evades customs, for the sin falls solely upon the perpetrator, and one who buys something permissible from him is not held accountable. The basic principle in dealings is permissibility unless proven otherwise."
