Is there a prohibition reported against wearing tight trousers?
The sacred texts command covering the nakedness (awrah) and guarding the private parts, and prohibit looking at them. Al-Nawawi mentioned that the obligatory covering must prevent the color of the skin from being seen, and a thin garment that reveals the skin color is not sufficient, but prayer is valid with a garment that defines the size of the awrah. Al-Saffarini mentioned the detestability (karahah) of wearing clothes that reveal the skin for both men and women, and the detestability of clothes that define the size for women. As for Al-Dasuqi, he clarified that the detestability of wearing a garment that defines the awrah is removed if something else is worn over it. Based on this, wearing tight, non-transparent trousers or pants is detestable unless something else is worn over them.
