Fatwa # 107 from uk |

Assalamu Alaikum Dear Brother,
At the moment I am working at the Gap Store, UK, where the main marchandising is the clothes. however recently they started selling clothes for MEN made out of 10% slik in it and the rest is cotton and something else, which is not harful within my knowledge.
Now my qestion is, would that be haraam to sell this type of clothes for MEN because there is 10% silk in it?
The other thing u may need to know is, this type of silk made clothes are not a lot, around eight to nine different types of clothes are made of 10% silk, and the rest is fine, ie, jeans, formal pant, shirts, jumpers.....etc.
Among t-shirts there are some which has a print or image of birds or animals but not any human beings but they are also few.
My main job is to put the clothes in the shop floor and help the customers to choose the clothes.
It would be helpfull if u kindly find out for me whether it would be halaal to work there?
Jazak Allah Khaire. |

WaAlaikum Assalam brother,
In the Hanafi school, it is permitted without dislike to wear items of clothing in which there is less than 50% silk content. Hence selling such clothes will be fine as well.
As for the clothing with pictures of living beings imprinted on them, there is a difference of opinion in the issue. Some scholars have stated that they (pictures) are impermissible. This is the more cautious opinion. Others have stated that they are permissible. The best thing to do would be to avoid actively assisting customers in the actual purchasing of such items, namely avoiding actually encouraging customers to buy these items. As for merely showing them the item or putting clothes on the shop floor, this would not be impermissible as it is not directly assisting in the sale of something sinful. However, even then, the difference of opinion on the issue of pictures gives one leeway to continue such a job on a normal capacity.
