Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good as well. She describes herself and says: I am a woman who, if Allah wills, is careful to observe the hijab and is committed to it, if Allah wills. I have some blouses and T-shirts whose sleeves are not long enough to reach the end of the hand, but are slightly below the elbow. Is it permissible for me to wear them in front of women, without any mixing with men? Please advise us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is permissible to do this in front of women, but the better and more preferable course is to wear customary clothing. As for non-customary clothing, which exposes the arms or legs in front of women, that is not advisable, because she is a role model, and people may take her as a role model and cite her as an example. Therefore, the better course is to be cautious and cover up, and a woman should not expose anything in front of women except what is customary to expose, such as her face, hair, and hands, and what is customary to expose in the context of women. Yes.
