I reside in Ta'if and work in the market in a women's clothing store, and some of these clothes have images on them, and I work under the store's sponsorship, and I dislike these

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I say: I advise the owner of the store not to bring in any clothing that contradicts modesty or the prescribed dress, and not to bring in anything with images on it, even if it is for children. I advise him and emphasize this to him, and I inform him that every forbidden sale makes its earnings haram (forbidden).
Knowing that I am unable to work in any job other than this one, we ask for clarification on this matter.

The Shaykh : I say: I direct advice to the owner of the store not to bring in any clothing that contradicts modesty or the prescribed dress, and not to bring in anything with images on it, even if it is for children. I advise him and emphasize this to him, and I inform him that every forbidden sale makes its earnings haram (forbidden).
And if he eats haram (forbidden) and his body is nourished by it, it is fitting that his supplication not be accepted, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said when mentioning the man who travels a long distance, disheveled and dusty, stretching his hands to the sky, "O Lord! O Lord!" while his food is haram (forbidden), his clothing is haram (forbidden), and he is nourished by haram (forbidden). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said:
How then will it be answered? فأنى يستجاب لذلك
.
And how can a believer be content to eat haram (forbidden) and nourish himself, his family, and his children with it? Let him fear Allah and not bring in these things.
As for the worker, it is not permissible for him to sell what is forbidden to sell, because everyone who assists in a forbidden matter is sinful. Allah the Exalted said:
but do not cooperate in sin and aggression ولا تعاونوا على الاثم والعدوان
[Al-Ma'idah 5:2]
. And since riba (usury or interest) is among the most severe and greatest of major sins, except for shirk (associating partners with Allah):
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who eats riba (usury or interest), the one who gives it, its two witnesses, and its scribe, and said: They are all equal. لعن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم آكل الربا ، وموكله ، وشاهديه وكاتبه ، وقال : هم سواء
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 65:77
