Question

Is wearing jeans for women under abaya haraam or makrooh? If yes then why? Also, ladies argue that if you say that wearing jeans is tashabbuh bil kuffar or tashabbuh bir rijaal then why do we wear tights which is more revealing than jeans?

Answer

It is not at all right.

They should avoid wearing tights as well.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
