Is it permissible for a girl to wear loose, modest trousers and a top in front of her paternal or maternal male cousins, knowing that it draws attention?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman must observe the legal hijab in front of her maternal or paternal cousins, as they are not mahram to her. There is no specific type of clothing required, but the conditions of legal clothing must be observed. Most often, trousers violate these conditions, as the clothing must be loose, not describe the woman's figure, and not be an adornment in itself.
