Guidance for women who are lax in covering up at celebrations

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We observe that some women are lax in covering up and exposing themselves during the prayers for celebrations. Is there any guidance for them?

Answer:
This is a clear and serious evil, and Muslims are to be feared for its punishment. It is exposing oneself, not wearing the hijab, and the free mixing of men and women, along with tabarruj (a woman’s display of her adornment). All of these are evils, whether in schools, parties, gatherings, or elsewhere. These are matters in which Muslims have been afflicted, and we fear its immediate punishment. There is no power and no strength except with Allah. So Muslims must be alert to this evil, prevent it in their parties and gatherings, and require women to wear the hijab, avoid mixing with men, and avoid everything that causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Yes.
