The ruling on a woman exposing some of her hair while wearing the abaya and the khimar

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on a woman intentionally exposing some of her hair while wearing the abaya and khimar? Is she considered negligent in her hijab, or is she displaying her adornment?

Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible for her to expose any of her hair, or her face, or her hands, or her feet when going out in front of men. Rather, she must cover herself completely; she must cover herself completely, covering her hair and her entire body. This is the obligation of the Muslim woman who fears Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and avoids fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). As for what women do today of tabarruj (a woman's display of her adornment), adornment, exposing themselves, and playing with covering, there is a severe warning for that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Two categories of the people of the Fire whom I have not seen."
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 enter Paradise and they would not smell its odourنساء كاسيات عاريات مائلات مميلات رؤوسهن كأسنمة البخت المائلة لا يدخلن الجنة ولا يجدن ريحها
Sahih Muslim 2128
We ask Allah for safety.
So these women who have been lax in covering and hijab, and who imitate the disbelieving women and open sinners in exposing themselves and being immodest in gatherings, in meetings, in study, and in work, will receive this punishment if they do not repent to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). The time is short and the appointment is coming. They should fear Allah in themselves and in their community. Yes.
