Thank u

	Assalamu'Alaikum, Sr. in Islam if you are married it is the husbands responsibility to do all of the shopping if you are not married than the Father would do it. Unless there is shopping centers for Sr's only. In Egypt the men do all of the shopping for these items if there are men only stores.... Here in the USA I'm a very spoiled muslimah I don't have to worry about anything as far as grocery's, dry cleaning, errands etc...I do go with my hubby on Weekend shopping outings when we need to or when we are going to some of my favorite Arabic shops... I personally buy all of my clothing niqab, hijab, abaya, jilbab etc etc etc...online there are hundreds of great shops to purchase from and you are able to have the purchase taken directly from your bank account without dealing with riba...If you're looking for such items here is a link of two sisters that have their own clothier business and Mash'Allah their products are wonderful I've been shopping with them for about 3 years and everything is custom made just to your taste from fabric to color to size.... http://www.sewingsisters.co.uk/ and their shipping rates are very low. JazakAllahuKhair....Mash'Allah very good question!

	that too is interesting.. here in Pakistan, where I am visiting it is the same.. Since I am not married and my father is deceased and the men never brouyght my under wear it is a strange thing... women's departments have women working there.. makes it feel safer.. for me anyways

	It's the same way here in The Gambia. Men are the ones who sell women's underthings. I wonder why that is.

	well it is certainly cultural.. I think it iscause the menoften have the outside businesses..and we in the west have bigdepartment stores..often run by men but the workers (sales people) are women. I would not like to have to buy undergaments from a man.. besides howcan they tell you about how the fit is, personal feel etc.lol

Thanx bz Edited by bzbzbz777

	Yes, I too found that interesting when I went overseas, I would only buy if the seller was a woman. What kind of surprise for your husband are you thinking about, then I could give you ideas. Do you want ideas of where to buy things or items?
