Advice to Women Regarding Tabarruj (Displaying Adornment)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Tabarruj (displaying adornment) has become widespread in this time under the name of fashion, and we hope for your honorable advice to these women.
Answer:
The women of the Muslims, the daughters of the Muslims, must fear Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, and adhere to hijab, covering, and modesty, and refrain from tabarruj (displaying adornment). For tabarruj is displaying adornment in the markets when going out, tabarruj in clothing, adornment, tabarruj with perfume, and tabarruj with uncovering the face. All of these are forbidden.
The Muslim woman must fear Allah, adhere to hijab, and cover herself when she goes out. She should not look at the misguided women about whom the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said that they are, Muwatta Malik 48:8, and they are clothed yet naked. So the Muslim woman must fear Allah and beware of these matters, and the guardian of the woman must enforce this upon her and monitor her, [An-Nisa 4:34], [At-Tahrim 66:6].
Nowadays, many women go out to parties, to rest houses, and to wedding halls, and they are exposing their bodies, exposing their chests, exposing their backs, exposing their upper arms and forearms, exposing their legs, wearing clothing that does not cover. So the women of the Muslims must fear Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and save themselves from this dangerous predicament. They must fear Allah, and the guardians of the women must monitor them and prevent them from this bad behavior. Yes.

Leaning and causing others to lean, their heads like the humps of camels
مائلات مميلات، رؤوسهن كأسنمة البختthey will not enter the Garden and they will not find its scent
لاَ يَدْخُلْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلاَ يَجِدْنَ رِيحَهَاMen 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 بَعْضٍprotect yourselves and your families from a Fire
