Cross-Dressing

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by CouncilofUlama.co.za

Q: Is it permissible for a girl to wear a boy’s (non mehram) shirt?

A. It is not permissible for a female to wear clothes of a male and for a male to wear clothes of a female. A Hadeeth narrated by Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radhiyallaahu Anhu) warns us that the curse of Allah befalls the male who wears clothes of the female and the female who wears clothes of the male. (Kanzul Ummaal V15 P323).

In this case, it is even a greater wrong for her to wear the shirt which belongs to a non-Mahram male.
Allah Ta’aala knows best.
