Does religion have an effect on the type of business to do?

[Godspower]

I was discussing this with my co-worker a few days ago. She wanted to start a business but has no idea about what to sell. So I told her to solve the needs of the people in her area, especially since the area is still developing.

After careful examination, she said because she is the wife of an Islamic cleric, she would not be allowed to sell the products.
What do you think of this? Does religion have a role to play in businesses?

This is very true. Religion has profound effect on the type of business you can do. There are certain religions that prohibit dealing or anything associated with alcohol. This is just a very clear example of it's influence.

Probably, in a liberal society you are free to start any kind of business you want to start because nobody really gives a damn. But in countries or locations where by there is concentration of religious people you may actually not succeed in any kind of business there.

Religion is definitely one of the biggest things that I consider before starting any business because I will not want to start a business in which people are not going to be interested in buying.

Exactly, this is why it is advisable to start a business in a liberal society because in a liberal society no matter the kind of business you start, there are still people who patronize you. Even in a religious society there are also people who can also patronize your business but you must be cautious of such a business before starting it.

Certainly yes, some religions have effects on the type of business to do. Some religion and personal belief can hinder a person from a particular business, though it is good to be religious, but it should be to a point

 

[Treborika]

As for me I think religion can decide what type of a business one can do. For instance as a Christian I not supposed to sell alcohol and tobacco products.

Definitely, there are some religions that prohibits people from dealing with any kind of alcoholic product and I think that alone will hinder them from venturing into such a business. People's beliefs will always affect the kind of business they do.

I still believe that there are hundreds of people who try to separate business from religion and they are really doing well. But there are still others who are strongly influenced by it.
