The Islamist hate preacher Ahmad Armih, also known as “Abul Baraa,” has been reaching a large audience for years via platforms like TikTok and through public appearances. As a prominent figure in political Salafism in Germany, he regularly appears in mosques and spreads his interpretations of the Quran. Some of his statements are now also spreading outside the Muslim community – often because of their bizarre and extreme interpretations.
An interpretation of “Abul Baraa” is currently circulating on social media again, sparking discussion. It centers on the question of whether Muslims are allowed to work in supermarkets. The preacher, who is being monitored by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, takes a clear position: working in a supermarket is haram. He justifies this, among other things, with the activity of stocking shelves. The “problem”: The shelves are not only stocked with products that are halal, but also with those that are haram for Muslims.
Prohibition also applies to sale and storage
He cites alcohol, illegal meat, cigarettes, and gambling products as examples. According to his interpretation, it is not enough to simply not consume these things yourself. If Allah forbids something, then He also forbids its price. This means that one may not buy, sell, or store these items, nor may one assist anyone in buying them. According to “Abul Baraa,” working in a supermarket creates a direct shared responsibility. This leads to sharing the same share of sin as someone who consumes the aforementioned products.
