What is the ruling on a female medical student wearing the uniform designated for the operating room, which consists of pants and a short scrub top, if entry is not permitted without this uniform?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The conditions for a woman's dress are that it must cover her entire body, except for the face and hands; that it should not be an adornment in itself or attract attention; that it should be loose and wide, not describing the size of her limbs; and that it should be opaque, not revealing what is beneath it. Furthermore, it should not resemble the clothing of men or disbelievers. If the attire meets these conditions, it is permissible to wear it; otherwise, it is not permissible in the presence of non-mahrams.
