The questioner:
She asks about the ruling on wearing what is called a skirt. Is it forbidden? Because I have heard people say that if it is not tight, not open, and not transparent, then please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
What is required in a woman’s clothing is that it covers the body by being loose, wide, and covering what is beneath it, not being transparent, and not containing adornment. That means four things.
The presenter:
Yes, yes.
The Shaykh:
Four conditions must be met: it must be loose, it must be wide, it must cover what is beneath it, and it must not contain adornment if she wants to go out of the house in it. If these conditions are met in the clothing, then it is permissible for the woman to wear it, because the criterion is covering, which is what is required, and avoiding the adornment that leads to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). As for the names, they have no effect. Yes.
