The Shaykh : What did I say, people? I said: Now, I am afraid of the future; tomorrow men and women will be the same in this, and the imitation will cease. The number of women is not important now, O Abu Sulayman.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. The pants are indeed, as outer clothing worn like men's pants, not found. But many women in our present time, it appears to Allah, wear them under their outer clothing.

In any case, I have conveyed to you that this falls under the category of imitation. If the thing becomes widespread and the imitation ceases, the ruling ceases.
