Question:
What is the ruling on wearing trousers for men, women, and children?
Answer:
Trousers. First of all, in fact, they are not suitable as clothing for a Muslim, neither for a man nor for a woman. Why? Because they are tight and reveal the parts of the body, and they involve fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Also, a person cannot sit properly in prayer because of their tightness; he cannot sit for the tashahhud (the testification recited while sitting in prayer) or for sitting between the two prostrations. So they are tight, and one should wear the wide thobe (robe) in which one can pray, prostrate, sit, and do the rest. Clothing follows the country; every country has its custom. Trousers are not worn among us, nor are they used among us, neither for men nor for women. So one wears the clothing of the country that they wear.
