The ruling on a woman extending the hem of her garment beyond one handspan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a woman extends the hem of her garment beyond one handspan, is she sinful for doing so?
The Shaykh:
Exaggeration, yes, indeed. This is contrary to the Sunnah, contrary to the Sunnah, yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A woman prayed wearing a hijab
The Shaykh:
Now it is the opposite: men let their garments hang down, covering their feet and ankles, dragging their clothes on the ground, while women expose their legs. I mean, it has become the opposite; they expose their backs and bellies. There is no power or strength except with Allah. Yes.
