What is the ruling on women opening tailoring shops?

Question : Tailoring shops. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on opening tailoring shops if a woman opens such shops, O Shaykh?

Answer : I advise staying away from that, for Allah’s provision is vast and the doors of provision are many. Tailoring shops involve a danger. If they are for men, there is a danger in tailoring clothes that hang below the ankles, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If they are for women and the tailor is a man, there is fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in this. For some women, and may Allah protect us from that, do not fear Allah; they sit with the tailor, extending their uncovered hands full of gold, and talking to him. They may even speak to him about things that are of no benefit, or rather about things that involve fitnah. So what I advise my brothers is not to open tailoring shops, except if the tailoring shops are for women, operated by women.
Believing, obedient, righteous women; there is nothing wrong with that. There is no barrier to Allah’s provision except what is forbidden or what one fears to be forbidden. Yes. May Allah reward you, and thank you to the sister questioner.
