The Details of the Question

- I am a student abroad (in Austria). Is it permissible to buy things from the supermarkets that sell alcohol and pork?
- The markets that do not sell them are very few.

The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

It is permissible to buy things from the supermarkets that sell alcohol and pork along with halal products abroad. It is permissible to buy things from the supermarkets that sell alcohol if they are cheaper and better. The best thing to do is to buy things from the supermarkets that do not sell alcohol and pork but it is permissible to buy from the others too.
