Is it permissible to wear clothes which shows the skin?

It is not permissible to wear clothes which shows the skin

Your Eminence Shaykh 'Abdul- 'Aziz ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Baaz; may Allah protect you! 

As-salamu ‘alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!). To proceed: 

I am a married woman. Sometimes I wear light clothes which may describe the skin of my body or may be too short that they show my thighs when I sit. I wear these clothes because I find it easy to do home chores while wearing them. Sometime I wear them because of hot weather or to look attractive for my husband. But my husband advised me not to wear these clothes in front of our children. My children's ages range between three and nine years old. He fears that the children may remember their mother's appearance in these clothes when they grow up. I did not accept his advice on the basis that our children are still young. They are too young to be tempted by these clothes. 

This issue occupies my mind and I would like to please my Lord and not to displease Him. I wrote to you hoping you will tell me about the legal ruling on this issue and give me advice. As-salamu Alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!). 

A: Peace be upon you. 

It is not permissible to wear these light clothes which describes the ‘Awrah even if there is no one with you, likewise, the mini or micro clothes. It was authentically reported from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) that he prohibited this and said: "Allah is more entitled than people that bashfulness should be shown to him."

May Allah grant us success! As-salamu ‘alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!).

Calling to Nationalism is a Call to Ignorance?

 Calling to Nationalism is a Call to Ignorance Question: What is your opinion regarding the call to nationalism which says that belonging to a race or language is more important than religion? These groups claim that they are not against religion, but that they consider nationalism to be more important. What is your opinion on this claim? Answer: This call is ignorance and it is not to ascribe oneself to it, nor to encourage those who call to it. Indeed, it is obligatory to destroy it, because Islamic law orders us to combat it and drive it out, to refute their analogies and claims with answers which make the truth clear to those who seek it. For it is Islam alone that keeps alive the Arab character, language, culture and morality. To snub this religion is, in reality, to destroy the Arab character in its language, culture and morality. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the (Muslim) preachers to strive hard to spread the call of Islam, in order to defeat those who attempt to suppress...

IN which time the Supplication is never rejected?

 ⚡Two Types of Duaa: The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said:  ❝The supplication made between the Adhaan and the Iqaamah is never rejected.❞ 📚 [Sunan Abu Dawood (521) and Sunan al-Tirmidhee (212, 3595) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee] 📑 In explanation of the above Hadeeth, Shaikh Saaleh al-Fawzaan حفظه الله said: ❝Many people neglect to supplicate between the Adhaan and Iqaamah. They preoccupy themselves with the recitation of the Qur’aan. No doubt that the recitation of the Qur’aan is a glorious act, but the recitation of the Qur’aan has its own time. That one utilizes this time in making Du’aa and Dhikr is better, because the confined Duaa* in its proper time is better than making general Duaa (at any other time). As for the recitation of the Qur’aan then it is general, (meaning) it can be recited at all times. But this time (between the Adhaan and Iqaamah) should be allocated for making Duaa. So, utilizing this time in making Duaa, Dhikr and seeking forgiveness is bet...
