Question

As a Jew, can I buy and resell Christmas trees?

Answer

The opinion of our great Master Rabenu Ovadiá Yossef ZTL is that this should not be done. Therefore, Hashem will send the parnassah for him in another way. Much success in your business!!

Although within halachah there is little chance of finding permission (as explained in detail by a former student of our institute, Gaon Rabbi Chanan Aflalo Shelita in his book Shut Asher Chanan Vol. 6 Y.D. siman 32), in practice the opinion of Maran Rabbeinu Ovadiá Yossef ZTL is that this should not be done, as Shut Mayan Omer Vol. 5 brings in his name in the laws of Avodat Guilulim siman 5.

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
