Question

Shop which are Run by Hindus do not contain any items which are non-veg. So is it allowed to purchase sweets from them, if they are of better quality and price.

Answer

If one is certain that the confectionery, sweets, etc. as well as the utensils used in their preparation are pure, then it will be permissible to consume them. If one has no knowledge whether the sweets and the untensils are pure or not, then it will be Makrooh (reprehensible) to consume such confectionery and sweets.
