Wearing short sleeves and leaving one's hair uncovered in one's home
Question
With regard to a previously answered question about the exposing of one's satr in the house being shameful, seeing that a female's satr is her
entire body except her hands, feet and face, is it impermissible to wear a garment with short sleeves or not covering the hair on the head?
Answer
It is not advisable. She gets deprived of the company of the malaa’ikah of rahmah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
