Previously, the ruling on women working and the ruling on uncovering hands and feet in front of non-mahram men were clarified, with a reminder that covering the legs with transparent clothing is not a valid شرعي (Shar'i) covering, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Two types of people from the inhabitants of the Hellfire I have not seen: women who are clothed yet naked..." The ruling on uncovering or covering a woman's face was also previously addressed.
