What is the ruling on selling women’s products?

Question: 10203

I have an establishment in
which I sell perfumes, watches, make-up, creams, hair-dryers and
ready-made women’s clothes which are long and not revealing. My question
is: are any of these items haraam and should I stop selling them, or can I
carry on with my business?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. To proceed:

With regard to selling the things you mention, there is nothing to indicate that they are haraam, so long as that does not lead to any haraam actions such as flirting or joking with women and so on.
