Wearing Jeans for a Woman

15-4-2003 | IslamWeb

Question:

Is it ok to wear jeans to school?
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

We have mentioned in detail the compulsory condition that the clothes of women should meet.

For more benefit in this regard, please refer to Fatwa 81209.

Know that wearing Jeans pants is not allowed for a woman whether worn to school or elsewhere since it exposes the shape of the body and reveals the figure clearly. In addition, it resembles the dress of men and it is forbidden for a woman to imitate men.

Ibn ‘Abbaas may Allaah be pleased with him said: “The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) cursed men who imitate women and cursed women who imitate men.” [Al-Bukhari]

For more benefit on the evidence for Hijaab and its conditions, please refer to Fataawa 81554, 83765, 83702, 81494, 354259 and 83033.

Allah knows best.
