Guidance for the guardians of women regarding tabarruj (a woman's display of her adornment)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is there any word of guidance for the guardians of women, and for women as well, especially in this time when tabarruj (a woman's display of her adornment) and uncovering have become widespread in markets and public parks?

Answer:
There is no doubt that the wali (guardian) of a woman is responsible for her,
Men are in charge of womenالرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ
[An-Nisa 4:34]
.
by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealthبِمَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ وَبِمَا أَنفَقُوا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ
[An-Nisa 4:34]
, so the man is responsible for his wife, or for his daughter, or his sister, or the woman under his guardianship; he is responsible for her, preventing her from wrongdoings and attending wrongdoings, and from engaging in wrongdoing and tabarruj (a woman's display of her adornment). He is responsible for her; he is the primary person responsible for her, then after him is the one in authority, and then after him are the general Muslims, who forbid these women from doing what is wrong. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
