What is the ruling on a woman trying on clothes in a store?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: His EminenceThe Shaykh : Our last question: What is the ruling on women trying on clothes in stores that sell clothing? Does this violate the privacy between a woman and Allah? There is a hadith that speaks about not placing one's clothes outside her home?
The Shaykh : First: Do you mean by trying on that she measures the garment herself?
The questioner : Before buying it, she measures it herself before buying it to make sure it fits well.
The Shaykh : Yes, if she has a mahram with her, and she enters a secure place where there are no eyes watching, then it is permissible under these conditions, although achieving this is not an easy matter.
The questioner : Okay, Your Eminence,The Shaykh : May Allah reward you, and we thank you very much for these answers.
The Shaykh : You are welcome.
The questioner : May Allah reward you a thousand times with good.
The Shaykh : And you, my brother!
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
Al-Halabi : Our Shaykh, regarding my brother's question about the gold that the girl wears; should it not be said here that this gold is actually for her father and her mother? Because if he needed to, for example, he would sell this gold today?
The Shaykh : No, it is not for her father and her mother, because she may grow up.

The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
