Question:
Hi, Due to Holiday season arriving I would like to know if it is permitted and even if yes, is it 'lechatchila' to sell anointing oil, which is made of olive oil mixed with essential oils from herbs mentioned in the bible, for example frankincense and myrrh.
It is used by evangelists and Christians prior to their 'prayers' and they believe it brings blessings...
Answer:
Hello,
It is definitely not l’chatchila to sell them things that will be used to help them while they are oved avoda zara, is possibly assur. As it is helping them do their avoda zara. Especially during their holiday season.
Best wishes
