Selling jewellery with kufr connotations
Question
I work in a jewellery store in which we sell watches, earrings, different chains, etc. Some of the chains that we sell contain Christian connotations e.g. the Christian cross, the face of Jesus, etc. I personally don’t like to sell these items and I don’t own the store. What should I do?
Answer
Make istighfaar and look for another job.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
