Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Selling counterfeit clothes as original is deception, fraud, and misleading buyers. The sin is compounded by importing them into the country through illegal means and paying bribes. It is not permissible to sell counterfeit goods as original due to the deception, lying, and fraud involved against Muslims, the cooperation in sin and aggression, the unlawful consumption of people's wealth, and the harm inflicted upon original sellers. It is obligatory to abandon trading in these counterfeit clothes or assisting in their importation into the country.
