The ruling on a woman wearing tight, transparent, or short clothing in the presence of her female peers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our sister asks and says: What is the ruling on a woman wearing tight, transparent, and short clothing that ends below the knee, at home, and when she gathers with women in a place far from mixing with men?
Answer:
She should not make a habit of this; because this leads her to become lax with it in the presence of a servant, a brother-in-law, or others. She should ensure her clothing is not tight in a way that reveals the size of her 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) or her limbs. It should be moderate, neither loose nor tight, in between. It should not be short or transparent. If her 'awrah, which is the area between the navel and the knee, becomes visible, that is forbidden, even in the presence of women. If it is transparent and what is below the navel is seen, or her thigh is seen, this is a great evil.
If she covers the area between the navel and the knee in the presence of women, there is nothing wrong with it. However, she should not make a habit of it, because this leads to laxity, even in the presence of a servant, a driver, a brother-in-law, or a sister's husband. It is necessary to block the means to harm, to stay away from the causes of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and for her to make a habit of wearing good, covering, ample clothing that is far from fitnah. This is my advice to every woman. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
