Is it halal for girls and boys to wear the same uniform to take tae kwon do training in gender segregated classes in the Islamic center adjoining the masjid?

As salaamu ’alaykum,

Is it halal for girls and boys to wear the same uniform to take taekwondo training in gender segregated classes in the Islamic center adjoining the masjid?

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الجواب حامدا ومصليا ومسلما

In the aforementioned scenario, if the uniform is Shari’ah compliant (i.e. it covers the satr, is not skin-tight, etc.), it would be permissible to wear these uniforms and attend such gender segregated classes. Since these uniforms are specific to the activity, not to the gender, and are not generally worn outside that gathering, the boys and girls may wear the same type of uniform.

والله اعلم

And Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala knows best.
