Ibn Majah

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The Bridge of Sirat (al-Sirat) is also one of the stages of the Day of Resurrection.

➋ This bridge will be over Hell (Jahannam), and all people will pass over it. Righteous believers will cross it with ease. The more sinful believers and all disbelievers will fall into Hell. After that, sinful believers will come out of Hell through the intercession of the Prophets and righteous people. Those with fewer sins will come out first, and others later. In the end, only the disbelievers will remain in Hell.

Benefits and Issues:
The questioner had asked about those garments which a muhrim may wear.
But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied by stating which garments should not be worn, thus indicating in his answer that the question should not be about what a muhrim may wear,
rather, it should have been asked which types of garments are not to be worn, because the prohibited garments are only a few, while those that may be worn are countless.
Stitched garments are not permissible for men,
but there is no prohibition for women; however, the use of fragrance is prohibited. She may wear socks, but may not use gloves, nor may she cover her face with a veil (niqab), but this does not mean that she should go about with her face uncovered in front of non-mahram men,
as has become fashionable nowadays.
If she encounters non-mahram men, she should cover herself with her shawl or something else, as narrated in Sunan Abi Dawud from Aisha radi Allahu anha,
“When men would pass by us, we would let our shawl hang down from above our heads and thus cover ourselves, and when the men had passed, we would uncover our faces.”
