Explaining the contradiction of those who permit the man to wear the pant and forbid it to the woman, while both are covering the private parts.

The student: May Allah bless you. I say, our Shaykh: It is astonishing that those who permit wearing the pant and consider it a covering for the man’s rear, while they do not distinguish between the man’s rear and the woman’s rear in that both are private parts, and they consider the pant not to be a covering for the woman’s rear but a covering for the man’s rear!
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The student: So this distinction, glory be to Allah, is strange and wondrous!
The Shaykh : A wondrous contradiction. That is, Professor, because they do not proceed from knowledge; they proceed from desire. You find, for example, the husband who shaves his beard and is clean-shaven on the upper lip.
The student : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
