Question
Hello,
Is it permissible to sell a car to a secular Jew who desecrates the Sabbath?
Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello and blessings
There is no prohibition to sell.
A. Because there is no law of "before the blind" when he can buy elsewhere.
B. One who is defined as a 'mumar' (apostate), there is no mitzvah to prevent him from sinning at all.
