The Meaning of the Prophet's Statement: "Women Who Are Clothed Yet Naked, Leaning and Causing Others to Lean"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
What is the meaning of "leaning and causing others to lean" in the hadith
The Messenger: Women who are clothed yet naked.الرسول نساء كاسيات عاريات.
and so on?

The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the second part: "As for the people of the Fire, we have not seen them yet. Yes. Men who are struck with whips as if they were striking water with cattle; it is said of them that he drinks, and he is like them among the wrongdoers, meaning a wrongdoer police officer, and a tongue that is clothed yet high, leaning and causing others to lean, and our roots are like leaning spears. They do not enter Paradise, and even if their scent were to touch such and such."
The point is that in the example of "clothed yet naked," I know what the scholars said in its interpretation, and that they are clothed in the blessings of Allah but high in their lack of gratitude for them. There is no power or strength except by Allah.
This is one of the interpretations of it. Another said that the meaning of "clothed" is that they are clothed in thin garments that do not cover the skin, and "high" in meaning. Another said in his interpretation of the hadith that the meaning of "clothed" is in short garments, short garments that do not cover, like those who wear clothes that go to the knee, or to part of the leg, or to part of the thigh, or who expose the head. All of this is a high exposure, which becomes sufficient exposure if it is the exposure of the woman's entire body. So the women who are clothed yet naked are those who wear clothing that does not cover them, either because it is short, or because it is thin, or because it is loose, may Allah protect us, so that the outlines of their bodies are visible. This is clothed in name but naked in reality. As for "leaning and causing others to lean," they are those who lean away from chastity, who lean away from uprightness, toward lewdness and evil, meaning those who deviate from uprightness, chastity, and patience regarding what Allah has forbidden, such as fornication, usury, and impurity. They cause others to lean, they cause other women to lean, they call to corruption, they teach women corruption, and they encourage corruption. We ask Allah for safety.
