A woman's forearm up to her elbow is considered part of the 'awrah (parts that must be covered) that should be concealed from a non- man. Furthermore, one of the conditions for a covering is that it must be loose-fitting, not describing the size of a woman's bones, based on the of Usamah ibn Zayd, which prohibits clothing that describes the size of the bones. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to expose her arm or hand with tight clothing that describes their size during photography.
