The ruling on dressing girls in trousers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner on the line with us says: Some women dress their children in trousers. Some women dress their children in trousers and then put an abaya over them. What is the ruling on that?
Answer : What I see is that a young girl should not wear trousers, because this removes her modesty. That is one aspect. From another aspect, the principle among the scholars is that what is forbidden for an adult to wear is forbidden to dress a child in. Therefore, we do not see a girl wearing trousers, even if she has an abaya over them.
The presenter : Yes.
