Selling trousers and under garments for non-Muslims

Question: Is it permissible for a Muslim to sell trousers and under garments for non-Muslim women?

Response: It is permissible to sell clothing to disbelievers, both men and women, if these clothes (completely) cover (the body from that which is Islaamically required) and do not include crosses (crucifixes), and specifically regarding men, that which does not contain silk. In priniciple, with respect to selling, all things are halaal until evidence suggests impermissiblilty, even if it were for a Muslim or disbeliever.

And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
