Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his final question, he says: If a woman wears her husband’s fur during the night in order to relieve herself from the cold she is suffering from, is there anything wrong with that?

Answer:
This is not permissible except in cases of dire necessity. It is not permissible for a woman to wear a man’s clothing, as that involves imitating the disbelievers, except in cases of dire necessity. If she cannot find anything to keep her warm, then there is nothing wrong with her wearing whatever keeps her warm, even if it is something a man wears, due to the dire necessity. Yes.
