Most of us remember the controversy about the hair of Indian-hair sheitels, and if it is considered “ takruvos avodah zara” or not. According to what we have previously stated, we can ask why this question is even relevant. We said that it is forbidden to buy merchandise from a house of avodah zara if this provides revenue to fund their activities. Why wouldn’t buying an Indian-hair sheitel, which provides revenue for a house of avodah zara , be forbidden for that reason?
