Answer
The form and shape of a woman?s entire body is awrah. It is not permissible for a woman to wear a shirt that does not cover her bottom.
A woman should wear such a garment in public that the form and shape of her entire body is concealed, for example, a loose cloak. A male should also dress up with modesty.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
