Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from France says: I am from France and I want to open a shop to sell men’s and women’s perfumes. Am I responsible for the women who buy perfumes and use them outside the house? And is it obligatory for me to put up a notice that this is forbidden for women?
Answer:
No, selling perfumes to men and women is fine, and the responsibility is on them if they misuse it. You are not responsible for how they use it.
