The Ruling on a Woman or Girl Wearing Trousers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Likewise, the Honorable Shaykh asks, saying: What is the ruling on a mother or a girl wearing trousers?
Answer:
Do not accustom girls and young children to wearing trousers, tight trousers. Trousers also do not cover; if they cover, they conceal, for example, if the size is larger. The fitnah (trial) in trousers is greater than the fitnah of not wearing them; the fitnah is more severe with them because they depict the thing as other than its reality. Perhaps a woman is ugly and the soul does not lean toward her, but if she wears trousers and the size is large and the size is defined, it incites desire toward her. Yes. Whereas if what is underneath is revealed, it is found to be unsuitable. Yes.
