The Woman's Attire in the Presence of Her Mahrams
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible for a woman to wear a garment with short sleeves in the presence of her mahrams?
The woman is commanded to wear covering clothing,Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: The clothing of the women of the Companions in their homes was the qamis and covering what is between the wrist and the ankle.
These are the clothes of the women of the Companions; the entire body is covered, and this is undoubtedly more perfect in faith, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (Modesty is part of faith) And if the door is opened for women to be expansive in their clothing, there will be no standard for it, and the woman will wear whatever she wishes. But if, for example, a woman works in the house and exposes her arm for the sake of work, or her leg for the sake of work, there is no harm, provided that the garment is inherently covering.
