Is it permissible for Muslims to trade in "holy water, soil, olive oil, and stones" that they sell to Christians from the site of the Baptism of Christ, which bear drawings of the cross and Christian symbols, whether or not the drawings and crosses are present on them?

It is not permissible to sell items to Christians, whether they contain crucifix drawings or not. This is because doing so constitutes aiding them in their falsehood and misguidance. Allah Almighty said: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression). Therefore, it is forbidden for Muslims to sell them anything that aids them in their celebrations. This is based on the principle that it is not permissible to sell grapes or juice to disbelievers if they will use it to make wine.
