Q: With regard to women's clothing, when a woman is going out, how must she be dressed? Mostly in today's time with outdoor activity, how must she be dressed (example: swimming, picnics, etc.). Please give some explanation.

A: Women should wear clothing that is neither tight fitting nor reveals the figure and shape of the body. Rather, it should be loose long flowing clothing which covers and conceals her entire body. Similarly, a woman should avoid clothing that resembles the fashion and style of the disbelievers and in which there is extravagance and ostentation.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
