What is the meaning of: “Any woman who takes off her clothes in other than her husband’s house”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Any woman who takes off her clothes anywhere but in her husband's house, has torn the screen between her and Allah.أيما امرأة نزعت ثيابها في غير بيت زوجها فقد هتكت ما بينها وبين الله من ستر
Sunan Ibn Majah 3750Hasan (Darussalam)
?
Answer: This is possible, and Allah knows best, that it is an allusion to exposing oneself for the sake of committing a major sin and engaging in what Allah has forbidden. However, if she exposes her clothes out of necessity in a private bathroom where no one is present, in her brother’s house, or her uncle’s house, or her father’s house, the most likely view, if Allah wills, is that she owes nothing.
So, in summary, and Allah knows best, the intended meaning is the exposure that leads to corruption.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
