My tailor told me he is stitching which they are going to wear for some religious function.

Question

My tailor told me he is stitching which they are going to wear for some religious function. I told him it's not permissible. He said that he was taking only wages for his labour. I said don't spoil your Aakhirat for these suits, return them. Allah will send you some Muslims and give you Barkat. Was my advice correct?

Answer

Your advice to the tailor is valid and correct. It is not permissible to sew religious garments for kuffaar. It is I'aanat alal which the Qur'aan strictly prohibits. Wages for haraam acts are not permissible. It is the same as selling haraam products.
