Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A person was given a bag containing different classical books as well as one or two Bibles. Is it permissible for him to sell the Bibles?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah says in the Quran:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Help one another in goodness and righteousness, and do not help each other in sin and transgression. And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is severe in punishment. [i]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, it is better to give it to the church respectfully [ii] and don\u2019t sell it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
