Is it permissible for a woman to wear pants?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. She asks: What is the ruling on women wearing loose pants, and wearing them in front of their husbands? And does wearing pants constitute imitating the disbelieving women?

Answer:
It is obligatory for a woman to cover herself and to wear clothing that covers her, which does not involve imitating men or imitating disbelieving women. Every woman should wear what Muslims in her country are accustomed to wearing, and she should not deviate from that to clothing foreign to the dress of her country. This is what is obligatory for women. Wearing pants involves imitating men, because most of those who wear pants are men. Yes.
There is also another aspect, which is tightness and describing the contours of a woman’s body and her buttocks, and this leads to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). So a woman does not wear pants; rather, she wears a loose garment. Even a tight garment is not permissible for her to wear, because it reveals the contours of her body. So how about wearing pants? It is tighter than a tight garment. Yes.
