Musnad Abi Ya'la 6890 — she said: I said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, what
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، كَيْفَ بِالنِّسَاءِ ؟ قَالَ : يُرْخِينَ شِبْرًا ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِذًا يَنْكَشِفُ عَنْهُنَّ ، قَالَ : فَذِرَاعٌ لَا يَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what is the ruling for women (regarding the length of the hem)?" He said: "They should let it hang down a handspan (below the ankles)." I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), in that case their feet will be exposed." He said: "Then a forearm's length (they may lengthen the hem), and they should not go beyond it."
