Is a woman wearing a men's short-sleeved undershirt to cover her arms under transparent white clothes at college considered unlawful or an imitation of men?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in wearing a man's undershirt unless the intention is to imitate men. The goal is to avoid deliberate and intentional imitation. However, if the imitation is unintentional or under duress, it does not fall under the prohibition. This garment is permissible as long as the intention is for modesty and it does not reveal the body's allurements.
