Question:
He says: I have a shop exclusively for women’s clothing, and among the items on display are short and open garments, including those that are tight-fitting. I know that some women use these clothes in a Shari’ah-compliant manner, such as displaying and wearing them only in front of their husbands, while other women use them for other purposes. So, is it permissible for me to sell these clothes? And do I bear sin in selling them to those who use them for tabarruj?
Answer:
No, my brother, it is not permissible for you to sell tight-fitting women’s clothing or clothing that does not cover the body, because this is cooperation in sin and aggression. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] And as for your claim that she wears it in front of her husband, what guarantees that? How do you know? You have opened the door for her.

And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.
