Q: I am a married woman and with my husband’s permission I would like to start a grocery shop infront of my home. Is it allowed in Islam? I am a woman who wears niqab. I would like to know the rules regarding this matter in Islam.
A: Rather he be in the shop. You may help start the shop. Let him see to the running of the shopping etc.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
