The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the man who wears women's clothes and the woman who wears men's clothes
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the man who wears women's clothes and the woman who wears men's clothes.
لعن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الرجل يلبس لِبْسَةَ المرأة، والمرأة تلبس لِبْسَةَ الرجل.
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated with expulsion and dismissal from Allah's mercy for any man who imitates women in their peculiar clothing, whether in appearance, color, style, manner of dressing, adornment, or anything else. Or for a woman to imitate men in their peculiar clothing as well, and this is considered a major sin.
Ash-Shawkāni said: The prohibition of women imitating men and men imitating women because there is no curse except for prohibited acts.
Ibn ‘Uthaymīn said: What is common between them, like certain shirts worn by both men and women, is permissible, i.e., it is fine for both men and women to wear it, as it is common.
