The ruling on exposing the arms in the presence of mahrams
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message was received for the program from one of the female listeners. She says: Your sister in Allah, Ayn, has obtained a degree. Our sister says that there are many matters where people's opinions clash with one another, but the ruling of the Shari'ah is the decisive criterion between those opinions and others. Is it permissible for a girl to wear what covers the area above the elbows in the presence of her brothers and her father, even if she has become accustomed to doing so? And what is her 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in their presence?
Answer:
First, the phrase "opinion of the Shari'ah" is inappropriate; it should be said "ruling of the Shari'ah." As for exposing the arms in the presence of mahrams, there is no need for this, especially if she is a young, attractive woman, for it is not permissible for her to do so. Rather, she exposes
