Questioner



Assalaamu alykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh, May Allah reward you Sheikh, what is the ruling on buying a colorful and decorated Abaaya for those who wear it infront of non-Mahram men? Is it permissible, bearing in mind that they (the mother, the sister and the wives of the brothers) wear tight clothes and the society here is rebellious [evil and rebellion is widespread], and those who wear Hijaab, their Hijaab is in fact a colored cloth that they put on their heads

So is it permissible for me to buy them these Abayas for the purpose of choosing the lesser harm? Also, people here consider such Abayas to be a proper Islamic clothing and they consider the one who wears one an extreme person and if they are bought the proper Islamic clothing, then they won´t wear it and may Allaah reward you with good

Wa Alaykum Assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh. Yes, if the matter is as you stated, then it´s permissible for you to buy it for them out of choosing that which is less harmful, and Allah Knows Best...
