Bismillah,
Assalaamu alaikum,
Please could any of the tullaab clarify or ask the Mashaykh as to whether or not it is permissible for sisters to send clothes (as Saddaqah) to relatives back home (i.e. in poor/developing countries) - even though these female relatives do not cover/wear hijaab at all. And even they may be from those who free mix - but are very very poor.
If you could clarify this would be a great help as many sisters send their clothes back home for poor relatives, hoping to do a good deed. And do not want, instead, to be falling into any error.
Jazaakamullahu khairan.
Wassalaamu alaikum

Bismillaah alhumdulillaah was salaatu was salaamu 'ala rasulullaah wa ba'ad
Assallaamu alaikum
In response to this question I asked the noble brother Abu Talha this question and he said that the fault is upon the people who do not cover and not upon the people who send the clothes. For verily it is not that they are uncovering due to the clothes that you have sent.
He likened it to a person who sells socks for example. If the person he has sold the socks to walks out naked except for the socks he has bought then the one who sold the socks is not to be blamed.
The brother then went on to advise that if you know the people you are sending the clothes to are 'mutabarrij'(those who do not cover) then with the clothes you are sending them you could send some hijaabs and the likes as an encouragment and/or reminder. End of Abu Talhas words. wAllaahu a'lam.
wassallaamu alaikum

bissmillahi ar rahmani ar rahim
saying of the 'ulama concerning this topic:
Selling items used by women for adornment
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: What is the ruling regarding trading in women's beauty items (inclusive of clothing), and selling them to women whom the sales assistant knows will wear them to beautify themselves in front of non-mahram men in the streets, as he sees her state in front of him, and as is unfortunately widespread in some cities (places).
Response: It is not permissible to sell them if the sales assistant knows the person who buys them is going to use them for things that Allaah has forbidden, because this means that he is co-operating in sin and transgression. But if he knows that the buyer is only going to wear them for her husband or he does not know anything, then it is permissible for him to sell them.
And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

as for a sadaqah, which is a 'ibaadah (not just selling), one should be even more cautious wa Allahou a'lam.
