What is the difference between long trousers and pants?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, what is the difference between long trousers and pants?
The Shaykh : Yes, by Allah, the difference is in the name; the name indicates the difference. Yes, and the most important thing for us is that we do not want our women to adopt everything that comes in now. If we were to ask a Pakistani woman, we would say, "The pants are fine, wear them," because that is their custom, on the condition that they are not tight but rather wide. But now, our women are a receptacle for customs and traditions, even though this is undoubtedly resembling women who are clothed yet naked, and it also resembles imitating men.
