Is it permissible for a girl to wear jeans if the intention is not to imitate men?
It is not permissible for a woman to wear jeans without wearing a loose, concealing garment over them, for several reasons:
1. Imitating men: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed women who imitate men. 2. Describing the body: It describes the details of the body, the size of the thighs and buttocks, and this contradicts the saying of Allah the Almighty: "And not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof; and to draw their headcovers over their chests" (An-Nur: 31). 3. Imitating disbelieving women: Wearing trousers is a custom of Western women, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever imitates a people is one of them."
