What is the ruling on women wearing sports jerseys identical to those worn by male football players, and is their argumentation permissible based on the existence of women's teams that wear them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the undershirts are identical to those worn by men, it is not permissible for a woman to wear them, due to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "Allah curses men who imitate women and women who imitate men." Citing the existence of female sports teams as a justification for their permissibility is incorrect, because they have fallen into what Allah has forbidden for them and have imitated men.
