Can Muslim Sell Wedding Cards Containing Photos of Gods

I am involved in a business of wedding cards for the past six years, I have a doubt about selling wedding cards with non-muslim Gods, is it okay sir?
I have this doubt from the beginning, some say it’s okay and some say it’s not okay to sell them, please sir give me a good knowledge about this, thanks.
The question poses that,
is it permissible to sell wedding cards with photographs of non-muslim gods or gods of non-muslims?

Actually the God for Muslim and non-muslim is the same is Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ, if you’re saying that the gods with the non-muslims worship, that’s a different thing.
So gods of the non-muslims is the same Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ God of all the human beings Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ, but I know what a question was that can you sell wedding cards on which there are photos of gods, which are worshiped by non-muslims.

the answer to this is no you cannot sell cards or sell Goods on which there are photographs of the Gods which are worship by non-muslim. They are doing shik and you’re promoting it. If you’re selling them cards with photographs of the Gods which they think are gods and they worship and you sell it to them, what are you doing?

you’re helping them in shik. It’s totally Haram, and there are various Fotwua of top Scholars imam ibn taymiyyah,
that you cannot wish the non-muslims, during the festivals. You cannot take part in the celebration, you cannot help them to give them Goods in which they are involved in doing wrong activity during the festival.

So and Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ is very clear in Surah Al-Maidah, chapter number 5 verse number two

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُحِلُّوا شَعَائِرَ اللَّهِ وَلَا الشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ وَلَا الْهَدْيَ وَلَا الْقَلَائِدَ وَلَا آمِّينَ الْبَيْتَ الْحَرَامَ يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرِضْوَانًا ۚ وَإِذَا حَلَلْتُمْ فَاصْطَادُوا ۚ وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ أَن صَدُّوكُمْ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ أَن تَعْتَدُوا ۘ وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ
O believers! Do not violate Allah’s rituals ˹of pilgrimage˺, the sacred months, the sacrificial animals, the ˹offerings decorated with˺ garlands, nor those ˹pilgrims˺ on their way to the Sacred House seeking their Lord’s bounty and pleasure. When pilgrimage has ended, you are allowed to hunt. Do not let the hatred of a people who once barred you from the Sacred Mosque provoke you to transgress. Cooperate with one another in goodness and righteousness, and do not cooperate in sin and transgression. And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is severe in punishment.
[5:2]

that help one another in and in righteousness and piety but do not help one another in Fin and ranker. So what are you doing, you’re giving them wedding card with the photographs of the false god, which they worship this is shirk.
So helping them to do shirk.

So you cannot sell any Goods which promote things which are Haram, and selling wedding cards or birthday cards or Festival cards which have got photographs of non-muslim God is Haram, or even selling Goods, which help them to celebrate the non-muslim festivals encourage them or you’re giving a discount on Christmas sell, saying that Christmas sale, or saying that there’s a Diwali sale and you’re giving discount,
