Question

1. Can I design products with logos of other brands and sell them online? Is that income halal for me? Especially if those brands are based in countries which are causing harm to Muslims and Islam?

2. Do I have to tell the buyers of these products that they are replicas, even if they are from a country which is harming Muslims and Islam?

Answer

1. Deceiving is not right.

2. This will be the way to avoid any type of deception.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
