Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) in one of your previous lessons about wearing trousers. What are the criteria for wearing them? And is it necessary to have a lower garment over the trousers? In accordance with this hadith: "Wear trousers and lower garments, and differ from the Christians and the Jews."
Answer:
No, it is not obligatory to combine trousers and a lower garment. One of them is sufficient; one of them is enough. However, trousers are better because they provide complete coverage when you sit, when you lift your leg, and so on. A lower garment requires caution and requires trousers. Trousers are better. So, you either wear a lower garment or you wear trousers. Yes.
