Sunan Ibn Majah 3750 (Book 33, Hadith 94) #33104
The Screen Between Women and Allah

SUMMARY: Women should not take off their clothes anywhere other than their husband's house, as it is a violation of the screen between them and Allah.

It was narrated from Abu Malih AL-HUdhail that some women from the people of Hims asked permission to enter upon Aisha. She said: "Perhaps you are among those (women) who enter bathhouses? I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Any woman who takes off her clothes anywhere but in her husband's house, has torn the screen between her and Allah'."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ الْهُذَلِيِّ، أَنَّ نِسْوَةً، مِنْ أَهْلِ حِمْصَ اسْتَأْذَنَّ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ لَعَلَّكُنَّ مِنَ اللَّوَاتِي يَدْخُلْنَ الْحَمَّامَاتِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ وَضَعَتْ ثِيَابَهَا فِي غَيْرِ بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا فَقَدْ هَتَكَتْ سِتْرَ مَا بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of modesty for women. It was narrated by Abu Malih Al-Hudhail that some women from Hims asked permission to enter upon Aisha. She then asked if they were among those who go to bathhouses, which implies that she was aware of the importance of modesty for women. The Prophet Muhammad then said that any woman who takes off her clothes anywhere but in her husband’s house has torn the screen between her and Allah. This means that when a woman takes off her clothes outside of her husband’s house, she is no longer protected by Allah’s mercy and grace as she has violated His commands regarding modesty. Therefore, this hadith serves as an important reminder for all Muslim women to be mindful of their clothing choices and maintain proper hijab at all times in order to remain close to Allah.
