Question:
To the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him), I love you for the sake of Allah. After that, I complain to Allah, then to you, about what you see of foreign women displaying their adornment in public streets. We are unable to discuss this with them due to the language barrier, and because of the prevalence of this display. So, should I complain about this matter to the authorities and call upon them to inform these foreigners of our customs before they arrive in our country? Also, should we call upon those in our country, through the media, to the obligation of adhering to customs, wearing long garments, wearing the black bisht, and so on, as requested by the noble brother?
Answer:
First, may Allah love you as you have loved us for His sake. Second, Allah the Exalted says on the Day of Resurrection, as His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated:Sahih Muslim 2566? And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Muwatta Malik 51:14, mentioning two men who loved each other for the sake of Allah, then they were separated, so loving one another for the sake of Allah is among the best of the nearness to Allah. We ask Allah to make us and you and all our brothers among those who love one another for His majesty. O Allah. As for what concerns the exposure of women and the presence of that in the markets by foreigners and others, this is the place for action and effort with the rulers. We ask Allah to make the means beneficial. May Allah reward you. It will disappear, if Allah wills, soon. We ask Allah to make the means beneficial and to be gentle with our rulers for all good. O Allah, amen. And it is forbidden to do anything that brings benefit to the people and the land. May Allah reward you. Yes.

Allah would say on the Day of Resurrection: Where are those who have mutual love for My Glory's sake? Today I shall shelter them in My shadow when there is no other shadow but the shadow of Mine.
يقول الله يوم القيامة أين المتحابون بجلالي؟ أليوم أظلهم في ظلي يوم لا ظل إلا ظليThere are seven whom Allah will shade in His shade on the day on which there is no shade except His shade
سَبْعَةٌ يُظِلُّهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي ظِلِّهِ يَوْمَ لاَ ظِلَّ إِلاَّ ظِلُّهُ
