The ruling on a woman wearing pants in front of her husband

Question:
The questioner says: We have heard from Your Eminence a fatwa forbidding a woman from wearing pants in front of her husband. We hope Your Eminence will clarify this matter for many people, as much confusion has arisen among the general public regarding this fatwa. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no issue with this. Pants are not part of our customs or in our lands. So what is the reason for wearing pants in our lands? This is not part of our clothing, nor is it found here. We have said that a person wears the clothing known in his homeland and country, and does not wear clothing that contradicts that, because it leads to notoriety and invites others to what may be even worse. This is what I said and what I say now. I say this is not part of our clothing, nor the clothing of our women, not in front of the husband, not in the house, and not outside the house. The woman wears what her community wears, and in that lies good and sufficiency, praise be to Allah.
