The answer

There is no harm in a man selling women's underwear, provided he adheres to Islamic regulations, such as avoiding khalwah (private seclusion) and physical contact, and that the woman observes and modesty when making the purchase. It is preferable for a woman to sell these garments. There is no harm in a man asking about the color and size, but he should not say, "This type suits your skin tone," as this is from the steps of Satan.
