Q 3: What is the ruling on trading in women's accessories and on selling them to a woman whom the seller knows, by her appearance, will display these wears before Ajanib (men other than a husband or permanently unmarriageable male relatives) which is a common misconduct in some countries?

A: Women's accessories may not be sold to a woman whom the seller knows will use unlawfully as it falls under helping one another in sin and aggression. However, if the seller knows that the buyer will use them to adorn herself for her husband or knows nothing, he may sell them to her.
