The answer

It is not permissible for a woman to wear trousers unless they are wide, do not resemble men's trousers or those of disbelieving women, and are worn under loose, concealing clothing, so that the trousers are not visible and help with concealment. As for wearing them with a short blouse that does not cover the knees, this is not sufficient because it defines the body's contours and exposes the legs.

Some scholars have gone as far as to prohibit women from wearing trousers altogether, even in front of their mahrams, because they reveal the body's details and are considered an imitation of disbelieving women.
