The ruling on selling women's handbags that contain indecent images

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude with this question. The questioner says: What is the ruling on selling and buying women's handbags that have indecent images on them? Should I enjoin good and forbid evil regarding the sale of these bags?

Answer:
It is not permissible to sell an item that contains obscene images. This is promoting what is wrong and promoting falsehood. It is not permissible. If you come across someone who does this, advise him. If he does not accept, report him. Report him to the one who can stop him, such as the hisbah (authority for enforcing public morals) or others. Do not leave him alone, ever. Yes.
