Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask the Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good, to offer advice to the female students of the college, may Allah guide them, who do not wear black socks, which results in the exposure of the foot and part of the leg when entering and exiting the college.
Answer:
It is obligatory for the female student to cover her feet, hands, and face with anything, whether it be a garment, an abaya, or socks. It is not obligatory to wear socks specifically; the important thing is that she covers her body. If she covers it with an abaya, a garment, socks, or gloves on her hands, then the objective is achieved. However, if any part of her is exposed when she goes out, that is forbidden. Yes.
