Question
Is it permissible to buy Shemitah fruits from anyone?
Answer
Even in situations where there is no prohibition of commerce, one should not buy from an Am Ha'aretz because one should not give them money for Shemitah fruits. Therefore, to avoid all these concerns, one should make sure to purchase from stores under strict kosher supervision.
