Conditions for a Woman's Clothing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister, in her final question, says: We ask the Honorable Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) to direct a word to some women, especially regarding their laxity in wearing tight clothing.

Answer:
A woman's clothing must cover what is beneath it. It must be loose, not tight, so that it does not reveal the shape of her body. This is not permissible. It must also be free of adornment when she goes out to the markets or to gatherings; it must be free of adornment. This is what is required in a woman's clothing. If any of these conditions is lacking, then it is not permissible, and she sins by wearing it. It is not permissible for women in gatherings to wear what compromises honor, compromises covering, or compromises modesty. These are wrongs in clothing that are not permissible. It is not permissible for her guardian to allow her to do so. It is not permissible for Muslim women to remain silent about these wrongs; rather, they must advise one another. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
