The ruling on a woman wearing short sleeves and pants, and wearing a necktie
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Whether she should wear short sleeves, and whether she is permitted to wear pants, or is that imitating the disbelievers? And does the same ruling apply to the necktie known as the cravate? And if the wearing is by way of imitation, what is the Muslim's course of action if he is forced, or if his employer forces him to wear this cravate? This is a question about two things,
Answer:
or about three things: about a woman wearing short sleeves. This is not permissible. The woman is entirely 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), so she wears loose garments and does not wear a short garment or short sleeves. Rather, she wears a garment that is loose over her, because she is entirely 'awrah in the presence of men. The second question is wearing pants. Wearing pants is not permissible for women because it does not cover; rather, it is more of a temptation regarding the woman, as it reveals the size of her body and her curves. So it is not permissible for her. Also, it is imitating the disbelieving women, as pants are not from the clothing of Muslim women. Because Muslim women are commanded to wear loose, non-tight clothing. This is the clothing of the Muslim woman: that it be loose to the ankles, that it be wide and not tight, that it be non-transparent to the skin and not sheer like some sheer fabrics, and that it have no adornment when going out. Rather, it should be a plain garment with no adornment, and nothing that draws attention to the woman when she leaves her house. These are the specifications of the clothing of the Muslim woman. Pants do not meet these specifications, so the Muslim woman does not wear them. The third question is the cravate, as they say. This is equivalent to the Christians hanging the cross around their necks. It contains imitation, because the Christians hang the cross around their necks, so some Muslims imitated them and adopted this cravate. This is imitation, and it is not from the clothing of Muslims. Rather, it has come to us from the society of the disbelievers, and its origin with them is the hanging of the cross. So the Muslim does not wear this cravate. And if the employer forces him to wear it, jobs are plentiful, and praise be to Allah, he moves to another department or to another job. Yes.
