Girls wearing Jeans

· 9 Shawwal 1433 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it ok to wear jeans under burqa/abaya for a girl?

Is it ok to wear shalwar kurta for a boy as it sometimes resembles a girl from back?

Answer

Jeans is a western type of clothing generally worn by that class who are not concerned about Deen.

It is unlikely that a man wearing shalwar kurta will be mistaken for a woman.
