Fatwa #1197823 June 2004South Africa

Is it ok for a women or man to wear a pants and shirt if the shirt does not cover their bum? (Is the shape of the bum part of the male and female awrah?)

Answer

The form and shape of a woman?s entire body is awrah. It is not permissible for a woman to wear a shirt that does not cover her bottom.

A woman should wear such a garment in public that the form and shape of her entire body is concealed, for example, a loose cloak. A male should also dress up with modesty.
