Question

My partner and I want to buy a business that sells mainly lingerie and bikinis. Is this type of business permissible?

Answer

Selling these products is not haraam, although it is a shameful business to deal in.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Can I sell items that may be used for haraam?

“1. Smoking cigarettes is Makrooh-e-Tahreemi. The same ruling that applies to smoking will be applicable to selling cigarettes, as the Fuqaha have stated that whatever is impermissible to consume, is also impermissible to sell.”
