The question

Are the actions and clothing of some women, which may be inappropriate or provocative, considered normal in this era, or are they an indication of a Muslim woman's ignorance of her religion or her failure to apply it? And is she excused in light of temporal changes and fashion, or have concepts and values been overturned?

The answer

A Muslim woman is commanded to observe hijab, be modest, and avoid ostentation and immodesty. Disregarding these directives is a sign of heedlessness, especially if she lives in Muslim lands. Technology and changing times and places do not permit decadence and ill manners. If a woman, whether immodest or an unbeliever, maintains seriousness in her dealings with men, this is good. However, disbelief is greater than any other sin, and immodesty is a major sin. The lawful dress for women has its regulations. And being appalled by the behavior we see from many women is a sign of faith.
