Is taking a piece of black or white cloth from a men's tailor shop and sewing it for women considered imitating men?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in tailoring a piece of white or black cloth into clothing for women, as these two colors are not exclusive to men. And taking it from a men's store has no effect, for the prohibited imitation is that which is exclusive to one gender over the other.
