The question

Are the mentioned conditions for the Muslim woman's attire – namely, that it should not be tight-fitting, not transparent, and not an adornment in itself – derived from the Almighty's saying: "And not display their adornment except that which is apparent thereof," especially since some exegetes interpreted "that which is apparent thereof" as referring to clothes?

The answer

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade wearing thin, transparent clothes that reveal the skin or outline the 'awrah, due to the potential for fitna (temptation) they may cause. The Prophet (peace be upon him) described this category of women as "clothed yet naked," referring to those who wear a thin garment that reveals the color of their bodies. It was narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "How many are clothed in this world, yet naked on the Day of Resurrection." This indicates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not wear transparent clothes.
