What is the ruling on selling women's clothing and shoes that do not cover the 'awrah or are very tight, and clothing that contains images of animate beings, and colored women's shoes? And how should one deal with customers who wish to buy them, with a request for evidence from the Qur'an and Sunnah?

If a seller is unable to adhere to the Sharia guidelines in selling clothes and shoes, he must abandon this work and seek another occupation that does not involve direct engagement in forbidden acts or assisting therein. This is because whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect, and whoever relies upon Allah, He is sufficient for him.
