What is the ruling on a woman wearing trousers for her husband or others?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding wearing trousers as well, Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen issued a ruling that it is not permissible for a woman to wear trousers, even under her clothes.
Another questioner : Or in the house, meaning?
The questioner : Or in the house, or for her husband, it is not permissible at all.
Another questioner : On the basis of imitating the disbelievers?
The questioner : He considers it to be on the basis of imitating the disbelievers.
Another questioner : Okay, under the clothes there is no imitating the disbelievers, where is the imitating the disbelievers?
The questioner : He does not permit it under the clothes, nor in the house, nor outside the house.
The Shaykh : If it is only between the man and his wife, she may wear what she wishes, because I say: imitating the disbelievers is a social phenomenon. So if it is between the two spouses, let her wear trousers. But if there are children or there are mahram relatives, it is not permissible for two reasons: the first is imitating the disbelievers, and the other is that it defines what is not permissible to expose, even in front of mahram relatives.
