The questioner : What is the ruling on a woman wearing short sleeves that reach the elbows or are slightly above them?
The Shaykh : Wearing them at home and in the presence of women is permissible, but I advise women not to follow the fashions that come to our country, which their importers do not intend to be advice for this country. This country, praise be to Allah, is accustomed to modest clothing, covering, and avoiding immodesty and displaying adornment. However, our country is targeted and envied for its adherence to these matters. So I advise women and their guardians not to follow the imported fashions that distance women from modest clothing and from the garments they are accustomed to, which keep them away from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit the Muslims through you.
