What is the ruling on men and women imitating the opposite sex?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about the imitation for which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed those who imitate men by women and women by men.

Answer:
It is clear that a woman imitates a man in his clothing or in his speech. She imitates a man in his clothing or in his speech, or in her hair by cutting her hair so that it is like a man's hair. This is the imitation: a woman imitating a man by wearing his clothing, and a man imitating a woman by walking in her manner or wearing her clothing. He wears a woman's clothing, or walks in her manner, or imitates her voice. These are the types of imitation. Yes.
