Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when the lower garment was mentioned: "What about women, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "They let it hang a handspan." Umm Salamah said: "Then it will expose them." He said: "Then a forearm, but no more than that." [Narrated by Malik, Abu Dawud, Nasa’i, and Ibn Majah]
In a narration by Tirmidhi and Nasa’i from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), she said: "Then their feet will be exposed?" He said: "They let it hang a forearm, but no more than that."
