Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it permissible for a Muslim to trade in the trousers that men wear, especially since they are made by disbelievers?
Answer:
The default ruling for clothing is permissibility, except for what involves fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), such as women wearing trousers. This involves fitnah because it reveals the contours of the body and is tight, so it is not women's clothing. As for selling them to men, if it is their custom to wear them—if it is the custom of men to wear them—there is nothing wrong with it, because it is clothing, and the default ruling for clothing is permissibility, as long as the clothing does not contain any violation of the Shari'ah.
