1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,460 What are the limits of a Muslim woman's attire before her sons and daughters? 2 00:00:07,820 --> 00:00:08,960 Praise be to Allah. 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,320 No text addresses it. 4 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:24,540 The rule is that what Sharia states in general terms has no set limit. 5 00:00:25,940 --> 00:00:30,700 And if language sets none, it is referred back to custom. 6 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,040 Thus, the limits of a woman's clothing. 7 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:44,320 Before her mahrams or before women. 8 00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:52,800 It goes back to custom. This is what custom means. 9 00:00:54,860 --> 00:01:02,360 It is what people of sound minds and sound instincts habitually do. 10 00:01:04,940 --> 00:01:08,320 So customs influenced by ideas are disregarded. 11 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,820 Rather, they are customs approved by sound nature, not rejected. 12 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,120 So whatever a woman customarily uncovers. 13 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,620 In the presence of women or her mahrams, it may be uncovered. 14 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,350 For example, the upper arms. 15 00:01:32,580 --> 00:01:39,040 the breast when nursing the child, the lower legs, the hair, and the like. 16 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,840 Whatever is not customarily uncovered may not be uncovered. 17 00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:50,900 And, as I said, pay no heed to custom influenced by other ideas. 18 00:01:51,940 --> 00:01:54,280 And natural dispositions changed. 19 00:01:54,380 --> 00:01:56,960 Allah help us. It's now common among some Muslims. 20 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,800 A woman is not properly clothed before her mahrams or other women. 21 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:03,860 This is not allowed. 22 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:04,940 From another angle. 23 00:02:06,020 --> 00:02:16,580 A woman, with her mahrams and women, must avoid clothes that outline her body. 24 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,680 I mean tight clothing that outlines what must be covered. 25 00:02:24,140 --> 00:02:25,580 This is not permissible. 26 00:02:26,460 --> 00:02:31,460 For a woman to wear it, neither before her mahrams nor before women. 27 00:02:32,460 --> 00:02:37,460 She must also avoid garments that are see-through. 28 00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:43,280 and reveal what lies beneath that must be covered. 29 00:02:45,020 --> 00:02:49,340 So some women come and wear a garment. 30 00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:53,000 Its upper half is transparent. 31 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,820 The skin can be seen through it. This is not allowed. 32 00:02:57,620 --> 00:03:01,660 For a woman to wear it before women or before her mahrams. 33 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,000 So once we know this, we say: The criterion. 34 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:13,696 Strictly speaking in this matter, the reference is sound custom, unaffected. 35 00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:15,240 By ideas. Yes.
