Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. She says: Among these things, some of them expose their shoulders and a part of their chest and back.
Answer:
I ask Allah for well-being. This is not permissible. She must not expose any part of her body nakedly, whether her chest, her back, her upper arms, or any part of her body, in front of men. This is even more severe in front of women. She does not expose or show anything except what is customary to uncover in front of mahrams and women. What is customary to uncover is the face, the palms, the two hands, the feet, and the hair of the head. This is in front of women and in front of male mahrams. There is no harm in exposing it because there is no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in it. Yes.
