Does the ruling on wearing trousers change because most Muslims wear them?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: This questioner says: What is your view on the one who says that wearing trousers was forbidden before, but now it is permissible because most Muslims wear them, both the righteous and the wicked? And he asks: If a thing is used, like a spoon or an airplane, does it become a custom and not an act of worship?

Answer:
The default ruling for clothing is that it is lawful; the default ruling for clothing is that it is lawful. Except for what is specific to the disbelievers in terms of clothing, in which we do not imitate them. What is specific to their clothing, we do not imitate them in it, due to the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) . As for the trousers, as the questioner says, they are no longer specific to the disbelievers; many Muslims wear them, so they are not specific to the disbelievers, and there is no imitation in them. This is with regard to men; with regard to men, we do not say that it is forbidden for them. As for women, it is not permissible for her to wear trousers because it is a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), because it exposes her limbs and the contours of her body, so there is fitnah in it. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to wear them because there is fitnah in them. Yes.
