The ruling on a woman wearing short sleeves in front of her mahrams

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The last paragraph of the questioner’s question says: What is the ruling on a woman wearing clothes with short sleeves, specifically at the elbows, in front of her father and brothers?
May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is better for her to cover up, because this may lead to evil. So it is better for her not to expose her arms in front of her father and brothers; her sleeves should be full-length. This is the best and most cautious approach. Her arm is not an awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in relation to her father, but covering it is more preferable, more cautious, and further removed from evil.
