It is not permissible for a female to go to a male tailor for measurement purposes. Either a garment of the right size or written measurements should be given. It is a clear sin as the whole purpose of wearing the ‘hijaab’ is to adopt modesty and conceal the shape and outline of the body, therefore this would certainly defeat the purpose. |
