Question :

What is the ruling on wearing jeans?

Answer :

The wearing of these types of clothing which shows ones features ans show his build/structure, then it’s not permissible. It’s haram to wear such clothing. Cause in reality, it does not cover the awrah.
As for the fact that if the same type of material is taken (which the jeans is made from) and other clothing is made from it; a cloth or waist garment and so forth, then this is okay and is permissible. So the reason behind it being haram is not due to the material. Rather it’s due to its ascription and the manner which it has been made. So if one makes from it a larger trouser which doesn’t show his awrah, then it is permissible.
