Question:
What’s the ruling on wearing revealing clothes?
Answer:
It’s not allowed, it’s established from the Prophet ﷺ that he said:
كَاسِيَاتٌ عَارِيَاتٌ مَائِلاَتٌ مُمِيلاَتٌ لاَ يَدْخُلْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلاَ يَجِدْنَ رِيحَهَا
“Women who are naked but clothed, incline to others and make others incline to them, they will not enter the Jannah nor will they find its scent.”
صِنْفَانِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ لَمْ أَرَهُمَا قَوْمٌ مَعَهُمْ سِيَاطٌ كَأَذْنَابِ الْبَقَرِ يَضْرِبُونَ بِهَا النَّاسَ وَنِسَاءٌ كَاسِيَاتٌ عَارِيَاتٌ مُمِيلاَتٌ مَائِلاَتٌ
“Two types of people of the Fire whom I haven’t seen: People who have whips like the tails of the ox with them that they beat the people with it, and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, incline to others and make others incline to them, they will not enter the Jannah nor will they find its scent.”
So these are from the types of people exposed to the punishment of Allaah.
And they said concerning the meaning of;
كَاسِيَاتٌ عَارِيَاتٌ
i.e. naked with clothes which do not cover, revealing. Either that the body shows from underneath it, or that it sticks to the body and defines her, from the angle that her body figure can be seen from underneath that clothe, as is the case with tight trousers, and such clothes.
And there’s no doubt that this is the type of clothes of the ones low in their religion, then a women every time she’s more covered she’s venerated, and she has value, and she has virtue with Allah and with the people.
And every time she is in a worse condition more uncovered thinking that by that she will attract proposers, it’s more further and the people loose interest in her, and her Lord becomes angry because of her disobedience and people loose interest in her and consider her fallen.
And she becomes a toy for the foolish.
