Is it permissible to sell handbags for women that have pictures of a dead human skull on them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The basic principle concerning sales is permissibility, unless there is evidence indicating prohibition, such as its use in a sinful act or if the garment itself is forbidden, like those containing images. The image of a skull is not inherently forbidden because it is not a complete image of a living being. However, it has become widely known as a symbol for devil worshippers, and therefore its sale or purchase is prohibited for this reason. Indeed, some scholars have issued fatwas against wearing it due to what it might symbolize.
