Girls wearing Jeans

Q:

  1. Is it ok to wear jeans under burqa/abaya for a girl?
  2. Is it ok to wear shalwar kurta for a boy as it sometimes resembles a girl from back?

A: 

  1. Jeans is a western type of clothing generally worn by that class who are not concerned about Deen.
  2. It is unlikely that a man wearing shalwar kurta will be mistaken for a woman.
