Answer

It is preferable for women to keep themselves modestly dressed at all times and to keep their hair covered as well. This helps preserve the modesty and hayaa of a woman.

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.
