عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذُيُولِ النِّسَاءِ قَالَ شِبْرٌ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ إِذًا تَخْرُجُ سُوقُهُنَّ قَالَ فَذِرَاعٌ
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the hem of women’s garments that it should be one span. But I said: Then their shins will become visible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then let it hang down a hand’s length.
