The Ruling on Cutting Hair for Adornment and Wearing Trousers for Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says, or the female questioner asks: What is the ruling on cutting hair for adornment for the husband, and wearing trousers in front of him, and so on?
Answer:
Adornment lies in keeping the hair, not in cutting it. Cutting it is an imitation of the West, and of women who do not care about their beauty. A woman’s hair is her beauty, so she keeps it and does not cut any of it. As for trousers, it is not permissible for a woman to wear them because they reveal the limbs and define a woman’s curves. They are not part of the clothing of this country, and they conflict with modesty, covering, and the hijab. If she wears trousers, it is as if she has worn nothing; in fact, her temptation in trousers may be even greater.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
