The questioner : Sometimes a woman wears her husband's shirt if she is wearing her jilbab with half sleeves; is that permissible, or does that fall under imitating men?
The Shaykh : Yes, this falls under imitating men. It is not permissible for a woman to wear a man's garment, nor is it permissible for a man to wear a woman's garment, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said:.
As for what is shared between them, such as some shirts worn by both men and women, there is nothing wrong with it; that is, there is nothing wrong with men and women wearing them because they are shared.
