The ruling on women wearing trousers in front of mahram relatives

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, what is your view on women wearing trousers in front of mahram relatives?

Answer:
A woman wears what covers her in front of mahram relatives and others. In fact, in front of mahram relatives, it is permissible for her to uncover what is customary to uncover, namely the face, hands, head, and feet. As for anything else, she must cover it and not reveal any of it, because it is not customary to uncover these parts, and because uncovering these limbs does not lead to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). However, if she uncovers her chest, breasts, calves, or arms, this causes fitnah, even in front of mahram relatives. So she covers herself and wears what Muslim women wear. Trousers are not suitable for a woman because they reveal the size of her body and the contours of her figure, so they involve fitnah. A woman wears a loose, wide garment that does not reveal any of the contours of her body and does not tempt those who look at her. Yes. Ha.
