BUYING AND SELLING |

Question: I have a business in which I sell perfumes, watches, makeup (cosmetics), creams, hair-dryers and ready-made women's clothing 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?

Response: With regard to selling the mentioned items, there is nothing to indicate they are haraam, so long as they do not lead to any haraam actions such as flirting or joking with women and other such similar means to haraam.

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.
