Trading platform: Union Jack

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by FatwaCentre.org

Question

We are trading shares on Australian Stock Exchange by using ANZ bank trading platform. However this platform is having an image of Australian Flag which contains a so-called Union Jack. Union Jack is symbol of Christianity because it contains cross and this cross originates from Christianity. When i buy or sell shares I pay $20 to ANZ trading platform. Can you tell me, what is your opinion? I fear that when I buy or sell shares and pay commission to this platform, – I am financially promoting the symbol of Christianity. I know that promoting of disbelief is disbelief itself. Am I promoting Christianity which is kufr by using this platform? Many traders use this platform and can see this Union Jack with cross on it! I can move my trading to another platform, no problem.

I uploaded an image of this platform so that you can see clearly what I mean. U can see this image clearly.


Answer

There is no sin in trading on such a platform for the reason you state in your question.
