Guidance for women who display their adornment in the markets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters says that she sees some women in the markets in a state of tabarruj (display of adornment), so we ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to guide them?
Answer:
First, you must clarify this to them and advise them against this tabarruj (display of adornment) and this adornment. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said to the women of His Prophet, who are the role model for the women of the ummah (Muslim community):[Al-Ahzab 33:33]. Tabarruj is displaying one’s adornment, whether the adornment of the body, the adornment of clothing, perfuming, and so on. This is tabarruj because it causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and creates fitnah between women and men. It is obligatory for any of the advising sisters, if she sees something in her sisters that is a shortcoming in this regard, to advise her against it, to enjoin good and forbid evil. And it is incumbent upon the women of the believers, especially the young women, to fear Allah, to fear Allah, to fear Allah in themselves and in society. They should observe hijab (the covering prescribed for women), they should cover themselves, they should be modest, and they should avoid mixing with men. For they are accountable before Allah, Mighty and Majestic, on the Day of Resurrection. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 2128 Paradise, and they will not even smell its scent, and men Sahih Muslim 2128. The point of this is what concerns the women: clothed yet naked, meaning they wear clothes that do not cover them; they are dressed in a garment that does not cover them, as is the reality for many Muslim women. There is no power and no strength except with Allah. So they should fear Allah and hold themselves accountable before being presented to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. They should repent to Allah, and let not the reality of women today, or the reality of the lax women today, or what they see on the screens of nudity, tabarruj, and looseness, deceive them. A woman is responsible for herself, and she is responsible for her sisters if she sees an evil, to disapprove of it and change it according to her ability. Yes.

And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance.
وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَىٰTwo are the types of the denizens of Hell whom I did not see: people having flogs like the tails of the ox with them and they would be beating people, and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined (to evil) and make their husbands incline towards it. Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side. They will not
صنفان من أهل النار لم أرهما رجال معهم نساء كاسيات عاريات مائلات مميلات رؤوسهن كأسنمة البخت المائلة لا يدخلنpeople having flogs like the tails of the ox with them and they would be beating people
معهم سياط كأذناب البقر يضربون بها الناسThe presenter:
