Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. He has a second question, saying: I hope the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him and guide his steps) will mention the boundaries for a woman’s dress in front of women, in front of mahrams, and otherwise, because some women (may Allah guide them) are lax in this matter?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) mentioned a woman’s dress in the presence of mahrams and women, stating that she reveals what is customary to reveal of her face, hands, and feet. He the Exalted said: “And let them not display their adornment.”
[An-Nur 24:31] their women. He mentioned women alongside the mahram (relatives one may not marry). Therefore, what is permissible to reveal to the mahram is permissible to reveal to women, and what is not permissible to reveal to the mahram is not permissible to reveal to women. It is an error for one to say that a woman's 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in the presence of women is what is between the navel and the knee, like a man's 'awrah in the presence of a man. This is a statement with no evidence for it. Yes.

except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons,
إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَىٰ جُيُوبِهِنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَائِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ
