Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people issue a ruling that it is permissible to wear trousers, and they say that they have become part of Muslim clothing, so there is no imitating the disbelievers in them. Is this correct?
Answer:
This varies depending on the country. If the custom of the country is to wear trousers and they do not wear the thawb, then that is their clothing. However, if the custom of the country is to wear the thawb, they should not switch from it to trousers, because the thawb is better than trousers, so they should not switch from wearing the thawb to wearing trousers. Yes.
