Wearing short clothes in front of one’s sons

Question: 22846

I have four sons and I wear short clothes in front of them. What is the ruling on that?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.

It is not permissible for a woman to wear short clothes in front of her sons or mahrams, or to uncover anything in front of them except that which is customarily uncovered and will not cause any fitnah (temptation). Rather she should only wear short clothes in front of her husband.
