The Ruling on a Woman Wearing Trousers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. One of the sisters, Umm 'Ali from Jeddah, is asking, along with many other sisters, about a woman wearing trousers, especially if they are loose, and this is only for her husband. Is it permissible or not?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to wear trousers, even if they are loose, because they are men's clothing, and the general rule is that they are men's clothing. If a woman wears them, she imitates men, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who imitate men. This is one aspect. The second aspect is that wearing trousers is not the custom in this country, neither for men nor for women. A woman and a man wear what is customary in the country and do not deviate from the custom of the country, due to the notoriety involved in doing so.
