The Ruling on a Woman's 'Awrah (Part of the Body That Must Be Covered) in Front of Women

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, sometimes a doubt arises that we are unable to refute or stand against, such as the doubt that a woman's 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) is from the navel to the knee.

The Shaykh:
This is not a doubt; this is a false statement, it is not correct. A woman's entire body is 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered),

The questioner:
in front of women, in some respects.

The Shaykh:
In front of women, she reveals what is customary to reveal, such as the face, hands, head, and feet, which are not customarily covered. As for the claim that her 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in front of women is what is between the navel and the knee—who said this, and what is his evidence? If anyone holds this view, he has no evidence for it.
Allah made a woman's 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in front of women like her 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in front of her male mahram (a relative one may not marry) relatives. He mentioned this in a single verse: up to His saying "or their women." Or rather, it means women of their own kind. So a woman's 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in front of a woman is like her 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in front of a man who is one of her mahram (a relative one may not marry) relatives. Is it permissible for her to go out among her mahram (a relative one may not marry) relatives with everything exposed except what is between the navel and the knee? Who can tolerate this? Yes.
