Find out for sure that this is the case first. We cannot make a decision simply on the basis of rumours.


A. In principle, it is permitted to purchase, eat or consume products made by Non Muslims with the following 2 conditions:


1. The product in itself must be Halaal.


2. It must not be related to any non Muslim religious functions for example, Christmas, Diwali, Cross, Idols, and Easter etc.


Notwithstanding, it is Afzal (best) to buy products from Muslims especially as the products you mention are made by Muslims in the hoards. We should then try our best to avoid.
