Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is selling and sewing the burqu' and niqab permissible or not?
Answer:
If it is not modest or contains adornment, it is forbidden. However, if it is modest, contains no adornment, and is merely a covering that exposes only the eyes, then it is permissible to sell it to those whose custom is to wear it, such as people from the desert or others. As for those whose custom is not to wear it, this item should not be sold to them, because this is a deficiency; this is an incomplete hijab. The burqu' is an incomplete hijab, but if it is the custom of the country or the custom of the desert that they wear it. Yes.
