Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for a merchant to sell perfumes to women in the street, who are disbelieving women, and they use these perfumes to spread fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)?
Answer:
If you know that they use the perfumes for something that is not permissible, then it is not permissible for you; because this is helping them in that. But if you do not know, there is no blame on you. Yes.
