The answer

It is permissible for a woman to uncover the extremities that commonly appear in front of her mahrams, such as the head, neck, hands, and feet. This aligns with the Madhhab of the Malikis and Hanbalis, and one opinion among the Shafi'is. It is forbidden for her to uncover anything other than these limbs in front of them. If the clothes reveal only what has been mentioned, then there is no harm in wearing them in front of mahrams. However, if anything else is revealed, it is not permissible to wear them in their presence, and she must wear clothes that cover what must be covered.
