Girls wearing Jeans
Question
Is it ok to wear jeans under burqa/abaya for a girl?
Is it ok to wear shalwar kurta for a boy as it sometimes resembles a girl from back?
Answer
Jeans is a western type of clothing generally worn by that class who are not concerned about Deen.
It is unlikely that a man wearing shalwar kurta will be mistaken for a woman.
