Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 39:102
. Is this reported, and what is its meaning?

Answer : The hadith is weak. It states that whoever takes off her clothes in a place other than her home
has torn the veil between her and Allahهَتَكَتِ السِّتْرَ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ اللَّهِ
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 10:2095
. This is a weak hadith, but it is not permissible for a woman to take off her clothes in a place in front of people, and this is a known matter that is forbidden. However, if she enters a bathroom, for example, in a house other than her own, and takes off her clothes in order to perform ghusl, there is no harm. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you, your knowledge, and benefit Islam through you.
