All Reward is because of Allaah, and should the salaah and salaam be on Prophet Muhammad, his spouse and children, the noble partners and those that apply them unless the Day of Resurrection.
Our Shaykh, Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah), changed into requested:
“There is a phenomenon with a few females, dressed in quick and tight attire which divulge their positive aspects and clothes devoid of sleeves exposing the chest and lower back, showing practically bare. Once we advocate them, they are saying that they don't put on such dresses until within the presence of different females and that the ‘awrah [1] of the girl in entrance of alternative girls is from the navel to the knee. What's the ruling referring to this, and what's the ruling concerning dressed in a majority of these clothing in the front of mahrams [2]? May well Allaah (subhannahu wa ta’ala) benefits you abundantly on behalf of the Muslims and Muslimat and enlarge your benefits.”
He (rahimahullaah) responded:
The solution for this can be to assert that it truly is authentically narrated [by means of Abu Huraira, radiallaahu ‘anhu] that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) referred to: “Two are the sorts among the denizens of Hell whom I haven't viewed, the only owning whips just like the tail of an ox, and so they flog those with them. (The second) females kasiyatun ‘aariyaat: who can be bare regardless of their being dressed, who're seduced (to unsuitable paths) and seduce others with their hair prime like humps. Those ladies wouldn't get into Paradise, and they might no longer become aware of its smell, despite the fact that its heady scent will likely be perceived from such and such distance (from an awesome distance).” [Stated by means of Muslim, hadith no. 6840; see additionally hadith no. 5310]
The folks of data interpreted the word kasiyatun ‘aariyaat (dressed yet bare)” as the ones females who wear tight, brief, or gentle outfits that don't shelter what's under.
Moreover, Shaykh al-Islam ibn Taymiyyah referred to that the garments of girls of their buildings on the time of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) included what's among the ankle and the palm; once they would go away for the marketplace, it really is time-honored that the ladies of the partners used to put on overflowing attire that had been goodbye that the cut finish of the clothe could drag on earth. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) made it permissible for them to cut down the top in their garment to increase to an arm’s span, with no exceeding that. But it surely, what was uncertain to a few girls of the asserting of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم), “No guy will have to study the ‘awrah of one more guy, and no girl deserve to analyze the ‘awrah of every other lady.” [Suggested through Muslim, hadith no. 338] and of ‘awrah of the lady with admire to different women folk being from her navel to her knee led them to the [fake] end that this means that it's miles permissible to put on quick clothing. But it surely, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) didn't say, “The get dressed of a lady is among the navel and the knee, ” such that it might be taken as an an explanation. In truth, he observed, “no female must always investigate the ‘awrah of an alternate girl.” Accordingly, he forbade the person who appears as the one that wears overflowing clothing might by chance find her confidential ingredients simply by a necessity or for any other cause. short
Further, whilst the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) talked about, “No guy must always inspect the ‘awrah of an alternative guy,” did the partners then put on izar (waist clothes) from the navel to the knee or pants from the navel to the knee? Is it now sound for a girl to head out and meet different girls having on not anything besides that which shields the realm from the navel to the knee? Not anyone says this; this isn't the case, with the exception of with the ladies of the kufar. So these ladies who understood another way from this hadith are mistaken. The hadith’s which means is clear and obvious. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) didn't say, ““The clothe of a lady is among the navel and the knee.” So women folk must always worry Allaah (subhannahu wa ta’ala) and suppose shyness and bashfulness, that's from the features of the lady; this can be from iman (religion) because the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) stated, “Modesty is a department of faith” [Said via Muslim, hadith no. fifty six] Likewise, we all know the myth: “More bashful than a lady saved in her exclusive quarter.”
No longer even the ladies of the pre-Islamic technology [Jahilliyah] used to maintain best that which used to be among the navel and the knee; this become no longer even the case with adult males in that point. Do those females favor the Muslim girl to be in a worse challenge than the ladies of Jahilliyah?
In abstract, the get dressed is a thing and looking out on the ‘awrah is whatever thing else. The criminal clothe of the girl in the front of different girls may want to cowl that that's among the ankle and the palm. Despite the fact that, if the girl must tuck up her costume for paintings or anything else, then she may just tuck all of it how you can the knee. Further, if she must roll up her sleeves the entire thanks to the shoulder, then she would accomplish that as vital merely. Even so, to make this her familiar clothe then it's not allowed, and the hadith doesn't imply this lower than any occasions. Because of this the cope with turned into to the single hunting, no longer the only being checked out, and the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) acknowledged totally not anything in regards to the clothe. He didn't say, ““The clothe of a girl is among the navel and the knee,” such that this might represent a pretext for the misperception with the aid of these ladies.
With recognize to looking out by means of mahrams, then the ruling is equal to shopping of a girl at a lady, which means it truly is permissible for the girl to find in entrance of her mahrams that which she uncovers in entrance of different women folk, specifically the pinnacle, neck, toes, fingers, hands, shins, etc. However she must never make her clothe brief.
[1] ‘Awrah: The personal constituents that ought to be coated.
[2] Mahaarim pl. of mahram a husband and a woman’s male siblings who're no longer lawful for her to marry.

This is the answer of our Shaykh (rahimahullaah) concerning this question, which is often raised by many sisters. I ask Allaah (subhannahu wa ta’ala) to make it a benefit for all of us. All Reward is because of Allaah, and should the salaah and salaam be on Prophet Muhammad, his spouse and children, the noble partners and those that apply them unless the Day of Resurrection.
