Question:
The questioner says: We ask you to give a brief, short piece of advice regarding women who wear the light abaya that reveals their bodies.
Answer:
This falls under the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: "Two categories of the people of the Fire whom I have not seen:Sahih Muslim 2128 and men with them, carrying whips like the tails of cattle, with which they strike people."
The woman who wears an abaya that does not cover her is a clothed woman who is naked. She is clothed because she is wearing an abaya, but she is naked because this abaya does not cover her. Thus, she falls under this hadith. It is obligatory for the woman to adopt an abaya that is covering and loose over her body, concealing what is beneath it, not transparent. It should also not be the kind that clings to her, meaning a soft abaya that sticks to her body. This is not permissible. It must be covering, loose, and plain, without patterns or anything that draws attention.

Answer:
This falls under the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: "Two categories of the people of the Fire whom I have not seen:
the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined (to evil) and make their husbands incline towards it. Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise and they would not smell its odour
