The question

What is the ruling on selling colored and ornate headscarves (lahshat) in a country where this attire has become widespread, knowing that the buyer's clothing is not pleasing to Allah, and that the seller only chooses the headscarf suitable for the buyer? And is it permissible for a religious merchant to sell these headscarves?

The answer

If the intended garment is a modest head covering, then the basic rule is that it is permissible to sell it, even if it is colored or patterned. However, if it is eye-catching, causes temptation, and it is known that women go out with it in front of non- men, then it is not permissible to sell it to them in that instance.
