Is it allowed for females to wear pants and shirts inside the Abaya?
Question
I wear jeans (pants and tight shirts) inside my abaya. I know that women are not allowed to dress like men, but when I wear them, no one can see me. I wear them just because I am comfortable in them and I like them and I am not showing myself to others. Am I still not allowed to wear them even though no ghair mahram can see me?

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
