Question:
And there is nothing [wrong], I do not insert the woman’s self into the short matter, so that she exposes her arms, and that is if the women see, or if her noble qualities are present, then taking her radiance and her custom.
Answer:
This is not befitting; it is not befitting for her to expose her arms or her legs before her mahram (relatives one may not marry), because this causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), it causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and because there is no need to expose the arms and legs, there is no need for it. She only exposes her hands out of her need for that, and she exposes her face and her head before her mahram (relatives one may not marry); this is the custom of exposing them before mahram (relatives one may not marry). As for going beyond what is not customary to expose, it is not permissible. And what is the reason for it? It also causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Yes, one may be tempted by her, even if he is one of her mahram (relatives one may not marry). One may be tempted by her, especially if she is young or beautiful; some people may be tempted by her, even if he is a relative of hers and one of her mahram (relatives one may not marry). Yes.
