Wearing Pants before her Brothers and Listening to Anasheed by Men

Question

can a girl listen to men singing Islamic nasheeds?can she wear pants in front of her brothers?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.
There is no harm for a woman to wear pants in front of her brothers provided they are not transparent and do not show the form of her limbs. However, it is a condition that the pants do not resemble men’s or non-Muslims' pants.

As for listening to the Anasheed (Islaamic songs without music) sung by men, then it is permissible for her to do so. Anjashah  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him used to sing the camel-chant while women were riding on these camels, and he had a nice voice; this is narrated in a Hadeeth reported by Al-Bukhaari and Muslim.

Allah knows best.
