Summary
Buying and eating food prepared by traders who do not cover their aurah is permitted in Islamic law, as long as the food is halal and wholesome in its preparation, cleanliness and place of sale. The texts give no detailed ruling on this, but the basic guidance is to eat halal and good food regardless of who cooks or sells it. A person may choose out of personal scrupulousness not to buy from such traders, but should not forbid others from doing so, to avoid misunderstanding in society.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sebagai penutup, kami menyatakan bahawa perbuatan membeli dan memakan juadah yang disediakan oleh para peniaga yang tidak menutup aurat adalah dibolehkan menurut syarak selama mana makanan yang disediakan itu adalah halal lagi thayyib (baik) menurut aspek penyediaan, kebersihan, dan juga tempat jualan.
