Clothing for women

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me a thick Coptic cloth to wear, which Dihyah al-Kalbi had given him as a gift, and I gave it to my wife to wear. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "What is the matter, why have you not worn the Coptic cloth?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I gave it to my wife to wear." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Instruct her to put another garment under it, for I fear that this cloth will reveal the shape of her body."
Imam Ahmad and Imam al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator, Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil; the hadith he narrates is hasan (good), and there is some weakness in him. The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Soon, in the last era of my Ummah, there will be men who ride on saddles that resemble camel saddles; they will dismount at the doors of the mosques. Their women will be clothed yet naked, and on their heads will be (hair piled up) like the humps of Bactrian camels. Curse these women, for they are accursed. If there were another nation besides them, your women would have served their women, just as the women of the nations before you served you."
Imam Ahmad, and Imam al-Tabarani in all three (of his Mu'jams), recorded it. The narrators of Imam Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih. However, Imam al-Tabarani transmitted these words: "Soon there will be men in my Ummah who will make their wives ride on saddles that resemble camel saddles."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Shuqrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you see women who make (their hair) on their heads like the humps of cows, then inform them that their prayer will not be accepted."
Imam al-Tabarani and Imam al-Bazzar recorded it. Its chain states that Hammad bin Yazid narrated it from Makhlad bin Uqbah, and I do not know either of them. The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).

It is narrated from Sayyidah Asma bint Umays (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). Her sister, Sayyidah Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her), was with her at that time, wearing a loose garment whose sleeves were also wide. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at her, he got up and left. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to her: "Move away from here, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has seen something from you that displeased him." She moved away; then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came into the house. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked him: "Why did you get up?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did you not see this simple woman? It is not permissible for a Muslim woman that anything of her body be seen, except this much." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of his sleeves and covered the backs of his hands with them, until only the fingers of his hands were showing; then he placed his palms on his temples, until only the face was showing.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; however, he transmitted the words "Syrian garments" in place of the word "loose". Its chain contains a narrator, Ibn Lahi'ah, whose hadith is hasan (good). The remaining narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih.

It is reported about Sayyidah Fatimah bint al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with her) that when she was in Syria, she used to wear clothes of khazz (that is, silk, or cloth woven of silk and wool) and would also tie a lower wrap (izar). It was said to her: "Does this garment not make the lower wrap unnecessary for you?" She said: "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) command the tying of the lower wrap."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it, and its chain contains a narrator whom I do not know.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Maslamah bin Makhlad (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not provide women with (outdoor) clothing; they will stay in their homes."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Majma' bin Ka'b, and I do not know him. The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Seek help regarding women by not providing them with (outdoor) clothing."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat from his teacher Musa bin Zakariyya, and he is da'if (weak).
