Wearing Jeans for a Woman
Fatwa No: 85748

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 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 said: “The Prophet 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.
