Question:
Salaam alaykum is it permissible for a woman to wear men’s clothing (i.e. T-shirt) for the following reasons:
1, Sleeping – (no one will see her wearing it, therefore she is wearing it for comfort)
2, At home amongst immediate members
3, It may not actually look like men’s clothing, (due to end times etc men’s clothing is becoming more ‘fitted’)
Or is it under no circumstances can a woman wear men’s clothing regardless of niyah ?
Shukran! Jazakallah Kheir
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Under no circumstances can a woman wear men’s clothing regardless of niyyah, as jinns may not understand your intention.
