Our dear sheikh I
would like to have the topic clarified for what is allowed for a woman to wear
in front of foreign men from her relatives in the private life, for example her
non mahram relatives like her paternal and maternal male cousins and
brothers-in- law... Is it allowed for her to wear a blouse and trousers in
front of them as an example?
Jazakum Allah Khair

Wa
Alaikum us Salaam wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatahu
Your
questions are related in subject, this is why I will sum them up in one answer:
1. In the private life, the woman lives
with her husband and mahram relatives. As for when non-mahram relatives like
the maternal and paternal male cousins who come to visit their female relative
for kinship ties (silatul rahm) to greet them for Eid and the like... then it
is not allowed for the woman to meet them in her house unless her 'Awra is
covered and that she is not in a state of Tabarruj (revealing her charms).
Wearing trousers is Tabarruj, so it is not allowed for the woman to wear
trousers in front of non mahram relatives who come to visit for kinship ties or
Eid greetings.
2. If a woman goes outside her house into
the public life then she must wear the Shar'i dress which fulfils three
matters:
Her 'Awra must be
covered.
She must not be in a
state of Tabarruj.
She needs to wear a Jilbab
and Khimar.
3. Jilbab is a wide (loose) dress that
covers the home clothes underneath and it is a wrap or an overcoat; it drapes
and covers the feet. Allah (swt):
"Oh Prophet! Tell your wives and your
daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (jalabeeb) all
over their bodies" (Al-Ahzab: 59)
So
the women should wear on top of their clothes a sheet or a wrap that drapes
down. Therefore it is required that the jilbab must be drape down to cover the
feet because Allah (swt) says in the verse:
"To draw their cloaks all over their
bodies"
This
is because the preposition (min) here is not partitive but explanatory i.e. if
the feet were covered by socks or shoes, this does not negate the fact that the
jilbab has to be seen as draping down and it must not be said that since the
feet are covered here it is therefore not necessary for the jilbab to drape
down. I.e. it must be apparent that the jilbab is draping down so that it is
recognised as the public life's dress that women are obliged to wear. And the
draping criteria in the verse "yudneena" must be fulfilled. Therefore
if the woman wears a trouser in the public life, and wears a Jilbab that
reaches the knee on top of the trouser and it does not drape down to cover her
feet even though they are covered with socks, then this does not fulfil the
shar'i requirements of the jilbab.
And
it is not allowed for a woman to go outside in the public life except by
wearing a jilbab that covers her home clothes underneath, and that they are
draping down to her feet. If she does not find one then she cannot go outside
unless she borrows one from her neighbour, this is due to the hadith by the
authority of Muslim in his Sahih and narrated by Umm Attiya (ra) who said:
"The
Messenger of Allah (saw) ordered us to bring out the young women, the
menstruating women and the veiled women for the two Eid Festival. The
menstruating women were to keep away from the prayer, yet witness the goodness and
the dawah (address) to the Muslims. I asked: "O Messenger of Allah, what about one who does not have a
jilbab?" He said: "Let
her use the jilbab of her sister."
4. Wearing a wig is considered from
Tabarruj. This is why a woman is not allowed to go out to the public life while
wearing a wig, unless she wears a khimar to conceal it and it does not leave
any signs obvious to the on lookers.
It is also not
allowed for her to wear it in her house in front of her non mahram relatives
because it is Tabarruj as we have mentioned.
As for if the wig is
what is meant by the wasila and mustawsila (the one who adds the hair extension
to someone and the one who has it added to her hair) then it is not so, because
the wasl is when a hair extension is added to the hair to increase its length
and not to wear a wig on top of the hair. But attaching the hair extension with
the hair to make it longer is what is haram to do even if the woman was inside
the confines of her own house because of the hadith by the authority of Bukhari
and narrated by Abu Huraira(ra) that the the Prophet (saw) said: "Allah has cursed the wasila and
mustawsila."
As for the wig she
can wear it in front of her husband and mahram relatives inside her house only.
It is not allowed to
wear it in front of non mahram because it is Tabarruj.
