Ruling on a woman’s arms being visible before women and mahrams
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister asking says: Is there a sin on me if I wear clothes without sleeves in front of women and in front of my father and my brothers?
Answer:
The closer view—may Allah know best—is that there is no sin in that; because the arms are not an awrah (part of the body that must be covered). However, the better course is modesty and covering up; that is better and further from evil. Otherwise, there is no sin in the arm being visible to the father or the brother, or to women, or the leg. But if she is modest and her sleeves are covering and her shirt is covering, all of this is more complete and better.
