The ruling on a woman exposing her upper arm to female mahrams due to intense heat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner — or rather, this woman — asks: Is it permissible for me to expose my upper arm in the summer due to the intense heat in the presence of female mahrams from whom I do not fear fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and who are my relatives? And is it permissible to expose a little of the lower leg in their presence?
Answer:
No. A woman should be modest. She does not expose anything except what is customary to reveal among women and mahrams, namely the face, the hands, and the feet. As for the heat, there are means of cooling available. Use the means of cooling, which are readily available, and praise be to Allah in this time. Yes.
