1631/1- Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: “The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) cursed men who are effeminate and women who take the similitude of men.”
According to another narration: “The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri]
1632/2- 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.” [Narrated by Abu Dāwūd with an authentic Isnād]
Men who are effeminate: men who imitate women in the way they move, dress, and speak.
Women who take the similitude of men: women who imitate men in the way they move, dress, and speak.
1) Prohibition of men imitating women and women imitating men, which is one of the major sins due to the mention of "curse" associated with it.
2) The second Hadīth is an example for imitation in clothes, but, in general, forbidden imitation includes all that is peculiar to a gender, like movements, clothes, way of speaking, and appearances.
1633/3- Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There are two categories of Hell inmates whom I have not seen: people with whips like the tails of cows with which they will be beating people, and women who will be Kāsiyāt Āriyāt (dressed but naked), Mumīlāt Mā’ilāt (inviting to evil and they themselves inclined to it). Their heads will appear like the humps of the Bactrian camels inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise nor will they smell its fragrance, though its fragrance will be smelled from such-and-such a distance.” [Narrated by Muslim]
Kāsiyāt: dressed; or covered with Allah’s blessings, indicating their abundance. ‘Āriyāt: naked, which symbolizes their failure to thank Allah Almighty for those blessings. It was also said that it means that they wear indecent clothes that are revealing or transparent. Mā’ilāt: inclined away from obeying Allah Almighty, and from guarding what they are required to guard. Mumīlāt: teach or inspire other women to copy their dispraised actions. It was also said that it means that they walk with a swaggering gait, tilting their shoulders, or that they have an inclined hairdo (combed to one side), which is the hairdo of the prostitutes. Mumīlāt: may also refer to those who comb other women’s hair in that hairdo. They roll big turbans and bands around their heads in order for them to look large.
1) Muslim women are warned of letting themselves be tools for temptation and falling into sin. Instead, they are required to adhere to Hijāb, which is one of the means of protecting them from the devils from among mankind and jinn.
2) The Shariah calls for protecting the honors of Muslims from Fitnah.
3) The Hadīth manifests the signs proving the prophethood of Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and that he does not speak from his own inclination. What he informed us about has actually happened, although such things were not known at his time.
