Q: 302 ? Title: Is it permissible to buy new items during the month of Muharram?

Question

Is it permissible to buy new items during the month of Muharram? I have to buy some new furniture items since I have moved to a new place.

Answer

In the Name of All?h, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-sal?mu ?alaykum wa-rahmatull?hi wa-barak?tuh.

There is nothing in the Shariah that prohibits buying new items in the month of Muharram. Therefore, it is permissible to buy new items in the month of Muharram, just as it permissible to buy new items in other months.

And All?h knows best.
