Q: Is it permissible to buy and sell ladies clothes. As you know nowadays the clothes are according to the latest trend and fashion in the market which is not in our control. The clothes includes shirts and trousers which ladies wear nowadays. Is it halal or haram?
A: When the hadeeth has strictly prohibited women from adopting styles and ways of men then you should not be promoting these types of things that are prohibited, and these are articles of curse according to the text of the hadeeth.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
