Women's dressing at home

Q: I wanted to ask a question regarding the dressing of women in their own homes. In my house we have our own gym area where me, my mother, and sisters exercise. While exercising they usually wear shorts that go till the knees and a low cut tank top that shows their cleavage. Their nipples are sometimes also visible sometimes. Is this allowed Islamically if there is no fear of fitnah?

A: The knees must be covered and the clothing must not be tight fitting. This kind of body revealing clothing is not appropriate and it is embarrassing and shameful.

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