The question

Is it permissible to work in a shop that sells women's accessories and places some items on parts of the body? Do the problems I face indicate a punishment from Allah? And what is the interpretation of feeling unstable and spiritually empty despite observing religious obligations and reciting the Quran?

The answer

It is impermissible to touch a non- woman, nor is it permissible to lower one's gaze from her. Selling perfumes and cosmetics to women who use them for ostentatious display (tabarruj) is forbidden. The advice is to abandon this work and return to Muslim lands, for spiritual emptiness, loneliness, anxiety, and distress are consequences of sins. One must repent, adhere to the religion of Allah, and increase faith through acts of obedience, such as reading and pondering the Quran, frequently engaging in remembrance (dhikr), diligently observing the prescribed remembrances, and seeking righteous company.
