The ruling on a woman wearing short clothing in front of women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Our sister asked a moment ago about the ruling on a woman wearing short clothing in front of other women?

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to wear short clothing when going out, nor in front of other women, because women follow this style of dress and imitate her, making her a bad role model. Also, women are required to cover their adornments and bodies from one another; a woman only shows her face, hands, and feet to other women and to her male mahrams (relatives she may not marry). She shows these parts, which do not cause temptation. As for what causes temptation, she must cover it from men and from women. Yes.
