Assalamualaikum,
After long time I am back at this forum. Masha Allah.
This topic I have researched for years now some says that selling women western wear like tshirt jeans tops etc is not allowed like salafi scholars explicitly prohibit and also deoband has said that it is not allowed.

But there lots of deobandi muftis when we ask them they say it is allowed or the sin is on the wearer not seller.

I want your sincere opinion on this topic, because I am doing this business since 6 years and I have only seen problems after problems and duas and amal doesn't work anymore.

Please reply

This is not true!
When you believe the opposite and have Yaqeen in what you are looking for, things will look differently.

W-Salam,

Sit down with a Mufti and discuss this matter with them, it does not matter what people on a forum say, they are not Scholars

Immitation of the opposite gender is not permitted in Islam.

Selling such things? Allahu Alum.

But, at the same time, on a presonal level, not a scholarly point of view (as I'm not one) I don't have an issue for women to dress in Western clothes when they are in-doors with thier family or cover themsleves up when outdoors.

Those who you sell to? i.e. those men who buy womens clothes to dress like women? Are you sinfull or they? How do you know if they will be wearing them.

Again on a personal note, I was out shopping with my wife one day and she saw a dress she liked. She bought it immediately. The lady selling the dress asked my wife if she would even wear it. Then my wife asked why not. The lady said "You're Muslim and covered from top to bottom, how can you wear it"

My wife took her to the side and slightly lifted her Abaya and said I can wear what I want and it's not for anyone else's eyes! With regards to dresses without sleeves or open backs, they are covered by wearing something on the inside.

The point was, it had to remain modest! Women's clothes are for women and mens clothes are for men.

Brother that is what I have done since 1-2 years, I have sat down with mufti and he said to me it is allowed and doesn't have any karahat. But the fatwa of deoband says it is not allowed.

So I ignored the deoband fatwa, and relied on that muftis fatwa and kept doing my business. But I didn't see Barakat on the contrary I see new problems arise every few months. I am totally confused as to follow deoband fatwa of follow local mufti fatwa who is a deobandi mufti.

So brother,
Some scholars says that one who buys it, if they wear it in public they are sinful.
Some scholars says if you know for sure that buyer will wear it in public then you are not allowed to sell. And I know for sure that the buyer in India will wear it in public.

I recall a brother (probably br Muadh) mention in an old thread that there was a Fatwa saying that wearing coats was an Biddah. Until the Mufti realised he was so so wrong

Certain Fatwa are fit for certain locations. Deobandi Fatwa from Deoband can be old and outdated. Many fatwa can today be updated - e.g. smoking is Haram etc

Your local Mufti gave you his answer based on where you are! He gave his reasons.

Now, what makes you think that selling these (I'm assuming normal Western clothes) clothes are the cause of your problems?

For your piece of mind, when selling it to a Muslim person, tell them that if it is to be worn by a Muslimah, then they must wear it with modesty. You do your bit too.

I've actually come across a person who did exactly that, he said something along the lines of - "You will need to wear something with sleeves with that"

Please check out the detailed explanation of this matter.
islamqa.info/amp/en/answers/75007

And why do I think this is the cause of my problems. I took this business since 6 years and before I hardly had any problems Alhamdulillah, life was so peaceful and i am Alhamdulillah very punctual in deen and mindful of Allah. But since the business grew I am getting in unexpected troubles and it only increases with as time passes.
First started with myself and then all those who are getting feeded by my money, like my wife my kids and now my unborn(naudh billa).
And i fear Allah alone, and I know nothing happens by chance, everything by happens by the will of Allah.
And this thought didn't came now Allah gave warnings before also, i researched this topic in 2023, took to Mufti in 2024, and now 2025. All big muttaqqi Mufti says not allowed, big institutions says not allowed to sell, unless you can make sure the end customer will not use it in haram ways.
And i am 100% sure that it will be used in haram ways.
So my conclusion is when I know for sure that it will be used in spreading fahashi in society, then I am helping in sin and trangression.And Allah says - Wa la ta'awanu bil ismi wal udwan.

And I have been given enough of warnings before also, and now also nothing is big problem Alhamdulillah, so why should I risk me and my family's future.
Instead just do what is purely halal. Even if getting less money but it will have barkat.

You can read the fatwah, it is not haram to sell western dress.

And it is not necessary that, you are getting into problems because you are selling western dress, people who sell halal dress also can get into similar problems. This is not the time for taqwa vs fatwa. Moreover you are living in a capitalist society. To establish a non haram business itself is a tough job.

Say lot of istagfaar and pay charity.

A precaution: If you close your business you may invite more problems that can endanger your imaan/faith itself.

The word ijtenaab (avoided) is used, it doesn't mean haraam. Don't insist on taqwa here, move on with fatwa. The problems you are facing is part of taqdeer. Don't take it as trial from Allah.
Again I remind you, if you wind up your business, you are risking your imaan, means it is frying pan to fire.

This is based on taqwa: پینٹ شرٹ، صلحاء کا لباس نہیں، اس کے بجائے شلوار قمیص کا کاروبار کرنا بہتر ہے۔
This is recommending to sell shalwar qamees instead of shirt pants. But fatwa allows to sell shirt and pant.
