Dihyah ibn Khalifah narrated: The Prophet (ﷺ) was brought some Coptic fabrics, and he gave me a Coptic piece, saying: "Split it in two, make one part a shirt, and give the other to your wife to use as a headscarf." As I turned away, he said: "And order your wife 1 to wear a garment underneath it so it does not reveal her form."

(1) The statement: "And order your wife to wear a garment underneath it so it does not reveal her form": It is said in Nafa‘ al-Mufti was-Sa’il: Question: Is it permissible for a woman to wear thin, transparent clothing? It is not permissible, as it does not fulfill the purpose of covering the private parts. As stated in As-Siraj al-Munir.

(١)قوله: وأمر امرأتك أن تجعل تحته ثوبا لا يصفها: قال في (نفع المفتي والسائل): الاستفسار: هل يجوز للمرأة أنيلبس ثيابا رقيقة الاستبشار؟ لا يجوز؛ لعدم حصول ستر العورة. كذا في (السراج المنير)
