Summary of question
Can a gold seller, sell jewelries to those women that he/she knows they use it in front of Non-Mahram?
question
Assalamu Alaikum, I live in a non-Muslim country, as you know most of the women do not get married and most of them do not cover themselves, properly. My question is, is it ok for me to sell jewelry to women since I know most of them are not going to wear it for their husband, rather they will go out and then other men are able to see their beauty. Will you answer me in detailed, please. According to some people, it is not ok because I am helping women doing sin. Jazak Allah
Concise answer
What has caused selling to be Haram and corrupted is not upon knowing that woman wear these gold and jewelries in the way of Haram, unless he/she intended the selling that those jewelries should be used in the way of Haram, only. However, it would be permissible and correct if it is not with the aforementioned intention.
