Is It Lawful For A Muslim Woman To Wear Pants Or Short Garments In The Presence Of Women Alone?

Question:

Is It Lawful For A Muslim Woman To Wear Pants Or Short Garments In The Presence Of Women Alone?

Answer:

There is no doubt that pants and short garments do not cover muslim women properly.

As for the first one, pants:they fit tight and make body parts look apparent and this is one kind of revealing!...in this case the muslim woman is naked while being dressed.

As for the short garment, it also doesn't cover the woman properly, unless all what is being revealed, is that which is allowed in the presence of another woman.Because it is lawful for a muslim woman to see another woman's body, as long as between the naval and the knees is covered.
