If the fabric known as denim is made into a garment that is suitable for a Muslim woman, is it haraam to wear it, and is that an imitation of the kuffaar?.


Praise be to Allaah.
 

What is meant by imitation of the kuffaar is when a person
does something to be or look like them. If this fabric or any other kind of
fabric is used in ways that resemble the clothing of the kuffaar, then this
comes under the heading of imitation. But if the clothes of the kuffaar are
made out of this fabric but it is used in another way that is distinct from
the clothing of the kuffaar, there is nothing wrong with it, so long as it
is done differently from the kuffaar, even if they are well known for using
this fabric, so long as it is worn in a way that differs from the way they
wear it.
