Who are the "muhsanat" (chaste women)? Are they all girls, even those who are immodestly dressed?
The meaning of "muḥṣanāt" (chaste women) has been previously discussed in fatwas numbered 47641 and 37483.
As for the inclusion of women who display their adornment (mutabarrijāt) within the meaning of "iḥṣān" (chastity/fortification): Mutabarrijāt are included in some of its applications but not in others. To provide a precise answer, the questioner must clarify the intended meaning and the verse about which the question is being asked, such as the verse regarding the حد القذف (punishment for false accusation of unchastity) or marriage to Kitābīyah (women of the People of the Book). The questioner may also refer to no. 30279.
