Question
Should Muslims boycott Jewish businesses? All of them are financially supporting Israel.
Answer
In general, it is correct to abstain from aiding and dealing with those kuffaar who are oppressing and persecuting Muslims. The fatwa states only this fact. However, such boycotting should not be done selectively to peddle some insincere motive. It should not be directed solely to Jewish businesses. The boycotters should include in their boycott list all American, Chinese, and Indian businesses, especially all the banks. Then there will be consistency in their call. Minus this, their call for boycotting entities such as Woolworths and Pick & Pay are hollow, insincere and stupid.
