Types of Clothing Permissible to Sell to Women and Guidelines to Sell them Online
Hanafi Fiqh
Answered by Ustadh Tabraze Azam
Question: Assalam Alaikum
I am going to start an Online Store through which I plan to sell clothing.
1-Keeping in mind the nature of clothing for women these days which can be from Simple Shalwar Kameez to Jeans and T-shirts, is it allowed for a muslim to sell such clothing?
2-When displaying clothing on a website it is normally shown through a pic of some model wearing it. Is this allowed?
Answer: Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I pray that you are in the best of health and faith, insha’Allah.
[1] Yes, it is permitted to sell clothing that has a permissible primary use. However, it would be superior to sell dignified and modest clothing.
[2] Please see: Selling Women’s Clothing and Using Women as Models

And Allah alone gives success.
