Is it permissible to buy food and other goods from a store that sells alcohol in a country where there is no alternative that does not sell alcohol?

A Muslim should avoid places where Allah is disobeyed, as much as possible, and encourage Islamic shops that do not sell prohibited items. As for buying from shops that sell prohibited items, there is no harm in it when there is a need, especially if the required goods are not available elsewhere. One's presence in such shops should be limited to the extent of the need. As for obliging non-Muslims not to display alcohol, this applies if they enter Islamic lands or become subject to its laws. Otherwise, their dealings are conducted according to their customs and beliefs. Abu Ubayd narrated that Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, prohibited taking jizya (tribute) from alcohol and pigs, but permitted taking it from their monetary value if the People of the Book (Ahl al-Dhimma) undertook their sale; because it is their property, and it does not become the property of Muslims. This indicates the permissibility of Christians selling alcohol among themselves, but it is not permissible for a Muslim to sell it, even to Christians.
