Question: Is it permissible to put a Christmas tree in the shop for the purpose of decoration and to attract customers? No  It is not permissible for you to put a Christmas tree in your shop because this entails displaying the rituals of disbelief and imitating the disbelievers. The Prophet, Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wa Sallam, said: “Whoever imitates a people belongs to them."  [Ahmad and Abu Daawood]
