"ذَيْلُ المَرْأَةِ شِبْرٌ -قِيلَ: إِذَن يَخْرُجُ قَدَمَاها، قال: فذراعٌ لَا يَزِدْنَ عليه".
[AI] From Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , she said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The feet of women should not exceed the length of a forearm.' I asked, 'So, the lower part of their legs should be visible, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'No, they should be covered up to the ankle.'"
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذُيُولُ النِّسَاءِ شِبْرٌ قُلْتُ إِذَنْ تَبْدُوَ أَقْدَامُهُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ فَذِرَاعٌ لَا تَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ
[AI] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the footsteps of women. He said, "A cubit." So I said, "Then their feet will be showing, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "An arm's length, and do not exceed it."
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذُيُولِ النِّسَاءِ؟ فَقَالَ شِبْرًا فَقُلْتُ إِذَنْ تَخْرُجَ أَقْدَامُهُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَذِرَاعٌ لَا تَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ
When the Prophet [SAW] said what he said about the Izar, Umm Salamah said: "What about women?" He said: "Let it down a hand span." She said: "But then their feet will show." He said: "Then (let it down) a forearm's length, but no more than that." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5338)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا ذَكَرَ فِي الْإِزَارِ مَا ذَكَرَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَكَيْفَ النِّسَاءُ؟ قَالَ «يُرْخِينَ شِبْرًا» قَالَتْ إِذَنْ تَبْدُو أَقْدَامُهُنَّ قَالَ «فَذِرَاعٌ لَا يَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ»
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The feet of women are a cubit." I said, "So, their feet will be exposed?" He replied, "No, it is a forearm's length, they do not exceed it."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «ذُيُولُ النِّسَاءِ شِبْرٌ» قُلْتُ إِذًا تَخْرُجُ أَقْدَامُهُنَّ؟ قَالَ «فَذِرَاعٌ لَا يَزِدْنَ»
[AI] From the Prophet ﷺ, "The end of a woman's garment should be a span. I said: Then her feet would be exposed? He said: Let them be a forearm's length, and in this is evidence of the obligation to cover her feet."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ذَيْلُ الْمَرْأَةِ شِبْرٌ قُلْتُ إِذًا تَخْرُجُ قَدَمَاهَا قَالَ فَذِرَاعٌ لَا يَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ وَفِي هَذَا دَلِيلٌ عَلَى وُجُوبِ سَتْرِ قَدَمَيْهَا
"ذُيُولُ النِّسَاءِ شِبْرٌ -قيل: إِذَنْ تَبْدُوا أَقْدَامُهُنَّ، قال: فَذِرَاعٌ لَا يَزدْنَ عليهِ".
