Is Muslim Women Wearing Jeans Is Allowed....?

In The Light Of Qur'an & Hadiths

Jeans Dress Code Clothing Women:

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help

and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides
none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall
astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but
Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad
(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.

Allah and His Messenger (saws) have neither

specified nor limited the believers to a particular
Islamic dress, but rather gave some conditions
which the dress one adorns himself/herself with
must be fulfilled:

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah

Aaraaf verse 26:
26 O ye children of Adam! We have bestowed
clothing upon you to cover your shame as well as
to be an adornment to you; but the clothing of
‘taqwa’ (piety, righteousness, etc.) that is the
best. Such are among the Signs of Allah that they
may receive admonition!

Provided that the below five conditions of apparel

are not violated, there is absolutely no restriction
on the type or color of clothing the believers are
allowed to wear in Islam:

1). Clothes worn should not announce arrogance.

2). The ‘satr’ of the person (man or woman) must

be covered in the presence of their non-mehrams.

3). The clothes worn must not be tight so as to

display ones figure and curves, and should not be
transparent.

4). The clothes worn must not be an imitation of

the pagans or disbelievers.

5). Men should not imitate women in their

clothing; nor should women imitate men in their
clothing.

Thus regardless of what type of outfit one

chooses to wear, whether it be jeans or anything
else, if it violates any of the above restrictions,
that it would not be deemed appropriate clothing
in Islam.

In our humble opinion, the wearing of jeans for a

believing woman might be in violation of two of
the above five restrictions.

a. Jeans are generally tight-fitted and do display

ones figures and curves.

But if the believing woman wears a loose-fitting

outer garment or ‘jilbaab’ over whatever she
chooses to wear underneath the ‘jilbaab’ when in
the presence of non-mehrams, then she would
not be in violation of this restriction.

b. If one lives in a culture where jeans are

considered clothing specific for men, then it would
indeed not be appropriate for a believing woman
to imitate the apparel of men.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.49 Narrated by An

Numan bin Bashir
I heard Allah's Messenger (saws) saying, 'Both the
‘halaal’ (permissible) and the ‘haraam (forbidden)
things are evident; but in between them there are
doubtful (suspicious) things and most of the
people have no knowledge about them. So
whoever saves himself from these suspicious
things saves his religion and his honor. And
whoever indulges in these suspicious things is like
a shepherd who grazes (his animals) near the
Hima (private pasture) of someone else and at any
moment he is liable to get in it.’

Thus my beloved sister in Islam, although one

cannot say that the wearing of ‘jeans’ is
specifically declared ‘haraam’ or forbidden by
Allah and His Messenger (saws) for the believing
woman; in our humble opinion, because of its
vicinity to the violation of some of the commands
of apparel, it would definitely be amongst the
suspicious or doubtful things. Thus if the believing
woman so fears Allah and the Last Day and
abstains from it for Allah’s sake, she will have a
huge reward with Allah Subhanah for her
obedience and piety.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due

to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever
of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best
and He is the Only Source of Strength.

It's Right, only Allah can Judge what is in the
hearts But Allah also will Judge How you dress
up Becouse it's Ayah in the Qur'an that Allah
Ordered Our Beloved Prophet From his Wives,
Daughters and all Muslimat must wear
(Hijab)and that Ayah Needs to follow not to
Read only or to know only,

This is one of the Muslim Problems today,

becouse We Became very weak and We Forgot
tht we have the Heritages of All prophets and
we can't even see How Blessed we are

I agree with what is said, it's a good point and I
appreciate this post is about women and to
help women understand however, if we look
closely in this matter, there is rulings for men
also which are always overlooked. Why is it
that we only focus on women and not men?
Men are not supposed to wear tight fitted
clothes neither. .. Do we think men will not also
get punished for their wrong actions?... Just a
thought..
