The Ruling on a Woman Exposing Herself to Her Mahrams
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Hiba says in her question: Some women, Honorable Shaykh, are lax, especially in their clothing, in the presence of their relatives and close kin, wearing sheer or transparent garments. Is it permissible for a woman to sit with her relatives in short, sheer, or non-covering clothing?
Answer:
It is not permissible for her to do so. She should not expose to her male mahrams anything other than what is customary to reveal and does not lead to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), such as her face, the hair on her head, her hands, and her feet. As for anything beyond that, it is not permissible because of the fitnah involved. Honorable Shaykh, some women talk until it is close to eleven at night, and then they pray the 'Isha' prayer.
