What is a woman's 'awrah in front of her children (sons and daughters) and in front of other Muslim women?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Wearing tight clothing that accentuates a woman's charms is forbidden, based on the "clothed yet naked," except in front of her husband, as there is no 'awrah between them. However, in front of mahrams (unmarriageable kin) and other women, the 'awrah must be covered. Tight clothing is not permissible even in front of mahrams or women if it reveals a woman's charms, and a woman is commanded to cover her 'awrah with loose and concealing garments from everyone except her husband.
