Before the Blind

Question

I run a laundry service including ironing, and sometimes clothes are brought in that are not modest and cannot be worn permissibly. Am I allowed to wash and iron them, or is it forbidden?

Answer

Hello,

There is no prohibition of "before the blind" in this case, as there is no necessity to commit a transgression with it.

Any garment can be worn in front of the husband only, or under another garment.
