Dought & clear - , Ruling on buying clothing and other itemsduring kaafir festivals in order to benefit from discounts on prices during the Christmas season

In Australia during christmas there are hugediscounts on things like
clothing, furniture, electronics etc. is it permisible to shop to
getthis discount which is generally not available during other part of
the year?.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is nothing wrong with buying clothing, furniture and so on
during the seasons of kaafir festivals such as Christmas, on condition
that one does not buy things that are used to celebrate the festival
or to imitate the kuffaar during their festivals.
In the answer to question no. 69558 it was stated that it is
permissible for the Muslim to open his business during the daysof
kaafir festivals, subject to two conditions:
(i) that he does not sell them things that they use for
sinful purposes or to celebrate their festival
(ii) that he does not sell to Muslims thingsthat they may
use to imitate the kuffaar during these festivals.
Buying items that one needs is much less serious than selling or
opening one's business, and the basic principle isthat it is
permissible to buy things, and the fact that it happens at the time of
their festival does not matter.
And Allah knows best.
