The Ruling on a Woman Wearing a Man's Clothing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A listener sent a message containing several issues. This listener, identified as (A. M. Sh.) from Tabuk, says in one of the issues he sent: If a woman wears her husband's clothes and then wears her own garment or dress over them, is that permissible or not?
Answer: It is not permissible for a woman to wear a man's clothing, whether it is her husband's or anyone else's. In the authentic hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
May Allah curse the woman who wears a man's clothing, and may Allah curse the man who wears a woman's clothingلعن الله المرأة تلبس لبسة الرجل، ولعن الله الرجل يلبس لبسة المرأة
. Therefore, it is obligatory for her to wear her own specific clothing, and likewise for the man to wear his own specific clothing. As for wearing his specific clothing, even under her clothes, it is not permissible. Likewise, it is not permissible for a man to wear a woman's clothing, even under his clothes. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
