The Length of a Woman's Garment for Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If the shirt designated for prayer for a woman is more than a forearm in length, is there anything required of her?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation for a woman to let her garment hang down by the length of a forearm, so it should not be increased beyond what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted, because this is extravagance for which there is no need. Yes.
