Question:
The questioner says: I am a young man who works in a store selling women's clothing. It has some modest items and some that are not modest. This store also has free mixing of men and women. Is my work in this store permissible or not? Please note that I come from a middle-class family. Please advise us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If the store contains what is wrong, as you mentioned, if it contains what is wrong, if it sells things that are not permissible, and if the women there do what is wrong, then do not stay in this store. Seek work in another place. Seek your livelihood in a place other than this store. Whoever fears Allah, He will make a way out for him and provide for him from where he does not expect. Yes.
