Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Explain to us the hadith:
The women who lean and cause others to leanالمائلات المميلات
May Allah reward you with good?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Two are the types of the denizens of Hell whom I did not seeصنفان من أهل النار لم أرهما
Sahih Muslim 2128
First:
Men with whips in their hands with which they beat peopleرجال بأيديهم سياط يضربون بها الناس
such as the police, or non-police who beat people without right; these are from the people of the Fire. This is a warning that necessitates caution for the soldier, and for the non-soldier, not to beat people except with right... beating people without right.
Second:
Womenنساء
a second group
the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined (to evil) and make their husbands incline towards it. Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise and they would not smell its odourنساء كاسيات عاريات مائلات مميلات، رؤوسهن كأسنمة البخت المائلة، لا يدخلن الجنة، ولا يجدن ريحها
Sahih Muslim 2128
... the hadith.
clothed yet nakedكاسيات عاريات
It was interpreted to mean that they wear thin clothes, or short ones, so they are clothed in name, but naked in reality. This is a great evil, and a trial from which one must guard. Some scholars said: the meaning of “clothed” is from the blessings of Allah, and “naked” is from gratitude for them, due to the many sins.
In any case, they are sinners by tabarruj (displaying adornment), and showing their beauties, or by the other sins besides that. This is from nakedness; naked by sins, clothed by garments, or by blessings.
So it is obligatory for every woman, and every Muslim woman, to fear Allah, and to be far from what Allah has forbidden. She should cover herself from non-mahrams, be in appropriate clothing, with modesty, without tabarruj or trial. She should cover her body so as not to tempt people, and so as not to harm herself. Her clothing should be sufficient and covering, without trial, neither from short clothing, nor from transparency, nor from showing some of the beauties. All of this must be avoided.
leaning and causing others to leanمائلات مميلات
Inclining from the truth, from chastity, from uprightness, and inclining others from the women to falsehood, and adorning falsehood for them, and the like.
So it is obligatory to guard against that, to be upright on the truth, and not to incline from it, and it is not permissible for her to incline others either. Rather, she must advise Allah and the servants of Allah, and be upright on the truth and chastity, and stay away from calling other women to falsehood, tabarruj, exposure, and causes of trial.
Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one sideرءوسهن كأسنمة البخت المائلة
Sahih Muslim 2128
This is a sign. Some scholars said: its meaning is that they enlarge their heads, putting on them rags and things that enlarge it, making it large. This is one of its signs, one of the signs of these women.
So it is obligatory for women to guard against what Allah has forbidden in all matters, and to wear ordinary clothing that has no trial, and no call to falsehood, and to be far from everything Allah has forbidden. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
