Dressing young girls in trousers
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to:
www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: Some women dress their young daughters in trousers, and thereafter dress them up in an ‘abaa.ah (full-length outer garment covering a female’s body from head to toe).What is the ruling regarding this?
Response: That which I am of the opinion is that the young girls should not be dressed in trousers, since from one angle - this does away with their humility, and from another angle – there is a rule amongst the people of knowledge, (and that is) ((whatever is haraam for the elder (female) to wear is (also) haraam for the younger (female) to wear)); (in that case), I am of the opinion that the young girl should not be dressed in trousers, even if she is covered with an ‘abaa.ah.

Ruling concerning a woman uncovering her face in front of her husband's relatives and a boy sleeping with his mother or sister
Question: Is it legally permissible for a woman to uncover in front of her husband's brothers and cousins? Is it allowed for a boy to sleep in the same bed with his mother or sister after he has reached the age of puberty?
Second, it is not allowed for male children, if they have reached the age of puberty or are ten years old or more, to sleep with their mothers or sisters in the same bedding or mattress. This safeguards chastity and keeps the person away from temptation. It also closes the door to evil. The Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) ordered that the children be separated in their bedding when they reach the age of ten. He said, ((Order your children to pray when they are seven years old. And spank them [to exhort them] to do it by the age of ten and separate them in their bedding)). Those who are not approaching the age of puberty still must ask permission to enter upon their parents at three times during the day. These are the times in which one is more likely to be taking off his clothing and exposing the parts that are usually covered. This has been stressed by them being called times of privacy. Allaah says in the Qur.aan, {O you who believe! Let your slaves and those among you who have not come to the age of puberty ask permission [before they come to your presence] on three occasions: before morning prayer, and while you put off your clothes for the noonday [rest] and after the 'Ishaa. [Night] Prayer. [These] three times are times of privacy for you. Other than those times there is no sin for you or for them to move about, attending to each other. Thus Allaah makes clear His signs to you. And Allaah is All-Knowing, All-Wise}, [Soorah an-Noor, Aayah 58]. However, those who are past the age of puberty must seek permission to enter at all times of the day. Allaah says, {And when the children among you reach the age of puberty, then let them (also) ask for permission, as those senior to them (in age ask permission). Thus Allaah makes clear His signs for you. And Allaah is Al-Knowing A-Wise}, [Soorah an-Noor, Aayah 59]. All of this is to avoid any kinds of problems and temptations and to safeguard honours. It also brings an end to the means that lead to evil. As for the child who is less than ten years old, it is permissible for him to sleep with his mother and sister in their bedding if there is some need to look after him and if there is no fear of temptation. They may also all sleep in the same area, in their own bedding, if they are of the age of puberty if there is no fear of temptation.
And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
