What is the ruling on a woman wearing a belt that accentuates her body, knowing that some families in Morocco compel women to wear it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A Muslim woman must wear what covers her and deflects people's gazes from her. Wearing tight clothing that defines the 'awrah (parts of the body that must be covered) and leads to people's temptation is strictly forbidden. A woman should not go out wearing a belt that outlines her size and invites observation and infatuation. It is not permissible for a woman to obey her family in doing what Allah has forbidden. Rather, they (the family) must adhere to the limits of and oblige their female relatives to observe the , modesty, and covering.
