Proposition 7

Tag 03R6, permanent. Cite it as [Bourbaki, Tag 03R6].

Theory of Sets, chapter III, § 3. Equipotent sets. Cardinals

Let (aι)ι∈I(\mathfrak{a}_\iota)_{\iota \in \mathrm{I}} be a family of cardinals. Then Pι∈I aι≠0\mathbf{P}_{\iota \in \mathrm{I}}\, \mathfrak{a}_\iota \neq 0 if and only if aι≠0\mathfrak{a}_\iota \neq 0 for all ι∈I\iota \in \mathrm{I}.

This is merely a translation of the condition that a product set should be non-empty (Chapter II, § 5, no. 4, Proposition 5, Corollary 2).

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
