What is the ruling on covering the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) during tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah)?

Question : The questioner says: Some women perform tawaf around the Ka'bah while exposing parts of their bodies, such as their arms. What is the ruling on this?

Answer : This issue is based on the view that the one performing tawaf must cover his 'awrah, which is the same 'awrah that must be covered in prayer. If we hold this view, then it is obligatory for a woman to cover her hands, feet, and face. However, covering her face is not because it is an 'awrah in tawaf, but because there are non-mahram (relatives one may not marry) men around her, and a woman must cover her face from non-mahram men. According to this view, a woman must cover her entire body: her face because there are non-mahram men around her, and the rest of her body because it is an 'awrah in prayer. As for those who do not hold this view, they consider this woman's tawaf valid and do not require her to repeat it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "No one shall perform tawaf around the House while naked," and exposing the arms is not considered being naked. However, perhaps the questioner is asking about the ruling regarding others: Is it permissible for them to look at this? Or is it not? And is it permissible for her to expose her arms and her 'awrah?
The answer is no, it is not permissible for her to expose her arms and her private parts in the gatherings of men, neither in the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) nor in the markets, for Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) commanded that the woman not display her adornment , and indeed He forbade the woman to display her adornment ,
