The ruling on a woman wearing short and open clothing in front of women

Question:
This is a question from the women asking: Is it permissible to wear short clothing in front of women, and likewise the bare or open kind, which many women have been afflicted with?

Answer:
No, the woman wears modest clothing and does not expose herself in front of women or in front of her mahram (relatives one may not marry) except what is customary to uncover, provided there is no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) among the women, such as her face, her hands, her head, and her feet. As for what involves fitnah, such as her legs and her upper arms, it is not permissible to uncover them in front of women. So she uncovers in front of women what she uncovers in front of the men who are her mahram, because Allah mentioned women and the mahram men in a single verse. So she uncovers to the mahram men and to the women what is customary to uncover, provided there is no fitnah.
