It is impermissible to sell that which is forbidden, such as statues and Christmas trees. It is also impermissible to work in advertising them, or to sell items that aid in sin, such as cigarette packs and lighters. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
