Question

I want to take pic of girl to post on my insta page bcz of my brand of tshirts. Is it allowed?

Answer

It is haraam for women to be without hijab in public and for men to look at stranger women. Only in rare circumstances, based on religious necessities, the sharia allows taking of pictures of women. One such instance would be for the purpose of ID card or passport, or licence. As there is no such necessity here, posting of the pictures of girls for the sake of selling clothes are haraam too, and not permissible in any way.
