Explaining the meaning of the hadith: “Whichever woman takes off her clothes in other than her home, Allah tears off her veil.”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It was narrated from Umm Salama that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whichever woman takes off her clothes in other than her home, Allah tears off her veil. أيُّما امرأة نزعت ثيابها في غير بيتها خرقَ الله عنها سترها
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 39:103
We ask for an explanation of the meaning of this hadith?

The Shaykh : This hadith is related to the previous topic, namely: if a woman visits another woman in her home, even if no men are present, it is not permissible for her to expose the places of her adornment except to the extent permitted by the Shari'ah. However, if there are men present, she must remain in the hijab she wears when walking in the streets. This is the meaning of this warning and threat:
Any woman who takes off her clothes anywhere but in her husband's house أيُّما امرأة وضعت ثيابها في غير بيت أبيها أو زوجها
Sunan Ibn Majah 3750Hasan (Darussalam)
(several narrations);
She has torn the veil between her and her Lord. فقد هتكت السِّتر الذي بينها وبين ربِّها
, and this means, in brief, that she should not expose her 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) before a Muslim woman. We have already established that her entire body is 'awrah except for the places of adornment, which are known locations and have become known to you, if Allah wills.
