Is it permissible for a woman to wear pants in front of her husband?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This pants that, if Allah wills, reminds me of Abu Abd al-Rahman with good, which we forbade him from, if Allah wills, from this day. I am saying, let his wife wear pants for him, so that it becomes prescribed for him, and perhaps he will long for it on some days, instead of seeing it in himself, he sees it in his wife. My brother, let him see her as Allah created her, is that not easier than seeing her in pants?
The questioner : Of course, as Allah created her.
The Shaykh : As Allah created her, heh. I want to say that imitation is a social phenomenon. As long as it is between the two spouses, meaning, if she wears a thobe, is that permissible or not? As long as it is permissible as Allah created her, then I feel that this matter requires a bit of patience.
The questioner : I have a problem with that.
The Shaykh : Never mind, perhaps the problem will disappear automatically. You agree with us that it is permissible for him to see her as Allah created her. So, is it permissible for him to see her in a thobe?
The questioner : It is permissible.
The Shaykh : So, in a thobe, you know this covers the major private parts. So, is a thobe with short sleeves permissible?
The questioner : It is permissible.
The Shaykh : And longer, is that permissible? And longer, what happened? Pants, is that permissible?
The questioner : It is permissible.
The Shaykh : So, where is the imitation?
The questioner : Now, my answer to your question is that some styles of clothing are specific to the sinful, those who display their adornment, and Islam has forbidden us from exaggeration[Sad 38:86].
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you.
The questioner : Let me finish.
The Shaykh : We are discussing imitation now, and you have brought up a different topic.
The questioner : But let me finish, I mean.
The Shaykh : Never mind, stay with me, I want to understand. Have we finished with the topic of imitation?
The questioner : In the manner I mentioned, it is permissible.
The Shaykh : Never mind, in the manner I mentioned, but it appeared to you that regarding imitation, as far as four walls and two spouses are concerned, there is nothing wrong?
The questioner : No, there is a problem here.
The Shaykh : Speak about imitation.
The questioner : Of course, as Allah created her.
The Shaykh : As Allah created her, heh. I want to say that imitation is a social phenomenon. As long as it is between the two spouses, meaning, if she wears a thobe, is that permissible or not? As long as it is permissible as Allah created her, then I feel that this matter requires a bit of patience.
