What is the ruling on wearing a dress without sleeves?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Hello, yes, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Remaining. A question on the phone, yes, your question regarding women wearing a dress without sleeves. And some women put something like a shawl over this sleeveless one. Does that suffice?
Answer : And I do not like it when women are expansive in their clothing. Because if they are expansive in their clothing and their modesty is removed from them, they become unconcerned about wearing it in front of women or going out with it to the market, and the door opens to us. My advice to our sisters is to be diligent in covering themselves and not displaying their adornment. And if Allah the Exalted said in His Noble Book:[An-Nur 24:60] He excepted the display of adornment for the elderly women who do not hope for marriage, meaning they do not hope that anyone will marry them due to their old age. And the change in their skin. And the decline of their beauty. So my advice to women is to leave off the display of adornment to the extent of their ability and not to submit to the trend. Whenever a new fashion in clothing comes, they go and use it. I ask Allah to maintain the covering for everyone. Amen, amen. He protects us from the stings of Satan. O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.

And women of post-menstrual age who have no desire for marriage - there is no blame upon them for putting aside their outer garments [but] not displaying adornment
وَالْقَوَاعِدُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي لَا يَرْجُونَ نِكَاحًا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ أَن يَضَعْنَ ثِيَابَهُنَّ غَيْرَ مُتَبَرِّجَاتٍ بِزِينَةٍ
