The ruling on wearing tight clothing that reveals a woman’s curves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your sister in Allah, Al-Shamri from Abha, has a question about tight clothing. She says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on a woman who wears tight clothing that reveals her curves, or a dress that exposes half of her chest, or clothes that are open in the back? We ask the Honorable Shaykh to guide them, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
These are among the clothed yet naked, the seducers and the seduced, about whom the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us in his saying. The point is his statement "clothed yet naked." The one who wears tight clothing that reveals her limbs and the size of her body, or wears short clothing that does not cover her legs, hands, or feet, or clothing that exposes her chest or back, is among the clothed yet naked who are exposed to this severe warning. So the Muslim woman should repent to Allah, and cover herself with complete, ample, wide covering that does not reveal her body, so that she may be among the believing women who are saved from this punishment, and refuge is sought in Allah. Otherwise, women are the greatest trial for the nations, and most often what destroyed previous nations was the trial of women. Therefore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned and said: "I have not left behind a trial more harmful to men than women," and he said: "The trial of the Children of Israel was in women." So Muslims should be alert to their women, and hold them accountable to what Allah has obligated upon them, [An-Nisa 4:34]. And women should save themselves from the Fire, and not be a cause of trial, or a snare for Satan. They should fear Allah in themselves and in the Muslims, so that they do not become a cause of trial for the Muslims, or a cause of punishment falling upon them. Yes.

Two categories of the people of the Fire whom I have not seen: men carrying whips like the tails of cattle with which they strike people, and women clothed yet naked, swaying and causing others to sway, with hair like the humps of camels. They will not enter Paradise, nor will they smell its scent,
صنفان من أهل النار لم أرهما رجال معه سياط كأذناب البقر يضربون بها الناس، ونساء كاسيات عاريات مائلات مميلات، ولبسهن كاسنمة البخل، لا يدخلن الجنة ولا يجدن ريحاMen are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other
الرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ
