The description of the clothing a woman wears in the presence of women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. From the questions of the sister from Libya, she says: Honorable Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, which is better for a woman’s clothing among women? Is it to wear clothing that reveals what is customarily revealed among them, such as the arms, legs, and hair, or is it better for her to wear loose, baggy clothing that reveals only the face and hands?

Answer:
Yes, she should wear modest clothing among women. Nothing should be visible from her in front of women except what is customarily revealed out of necessity, such as the face, hands, feet, and hair on the head. This is what is customarily revealed, and a woman needs to reveal it in front of women. As for revealing the legs and arms, she should not reveal them in front of women. Yes. Revealing them in front of women is a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and because she would be a role model for women in… travel. Yes.
