A Woman Praying in Pants

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman prayed wearing a hijab that came down to her shoulders, and wearing pants. Is her prayer valid?

Answer:
Pants? No, pants reveal the size of her body and lead to temptation. She should not pray in pants, nor wear them. Pants are not suitable for a woman because they are a source of temptation. Yes.
