Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our Shaykh (may Allah bless you), is it permissible to trade in women’s perfumes, knowing that the women in our country go out wearing perfume? Please give us a ruling (may Allah bless you)?
Answer:
If you know that this woman will use the perfume she buys from you to perfume herself for going out, do not sell it to her, for this is cooperation in sin and aggression. But if you do not know, there is nothing wrong with selling perfume to a woman or a man, or to whoever wants to buy it, as long as you do not know that this buyer will use it to aid in what is forbidden. In that case, you do not sell to him so that you do not cooperate with him in sin and aggression.
