Is it permissible to use "Montblanc" products that bear a shape similar to the "Star of Israel," and does this star have a religious association?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The six-pointed star has become a symbol of the Jews and a part of their state's flag. Therefore, it is forbidden to engrave or draw it on clothes, watches, walls, and other items. The Permanent Committee for Issuing Fatwas was asked about the ruling on selling, buying, or displaying the "Star of Israel," the "Cross," or anything related to the rituals of Jews and Christians. They replied that it is not permissible to manufacture these ornaments with symbols and emblems of disbelief, nor is it permissible to sell or buy them. As for the "Montblanc" brand, it does not refer to the "six-pointed star," but rather to the peak of the snowy mountain "Mont Blanc" in France, and the producing company is German.
