Writing people's names on Christmas hats

· 2 Rabiʻ I 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a woman has a business where she customises clothes, can she sew peoples names on Christmas hats. Non Muslims may ask her to customise the hats so she will just be writing peoples names on these hats.

Answer

Avoid this.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
