Question

What's the status of a person's income if one does bake, etc as a means of income if we do for Muslims & Non-Muslims?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Shariah permits us to trade with Muslims as well as non-Muslims.[1] The sale of Halal items such as baked goods to non-Muslims is permissible and your income will be Halal.[2]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
