  1. Assalamualaikum,

    Her own brother is her Mahram (relative) and she covers her 'awrah, even if she wears a t-shirt, but she must not wear clothes that are tight and revealing, even before her mahram.

    If she wears full hijab when she goes out of the house, that is good.

    Children must be made used to Islamic clothing since childhood and be made to love hijaab, so that they have no difficulty in accepting it later in life.

    She must also know how much she can uncover when among her mahrams.

    Shaykh Muhamamd ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen
    said: With regard to her mahrams what she may uncover is the same as that which she may uncover in front of other women, so she may uncover her head, neck, feet, hands, forearms and calves, etc. But she should not make her clothes short. Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 12/276, 277

    YOU KNOW WHAT IS T SHIRT IT IS THE TIGHEST OF ALL SHIRTS AND FOR GIRLS IT IS MORE REVEALING AND MAKES THE OPPOSITE SEX [BE IT ANYONE]LOOK BACK-AND SHOW THE SIZE OF BREASTS AND SHAPE WHICH MAKES IT VULGAR BETWEEN BROTHER AND SISTER LIKE THERE IS NOT HAYA AND SHARM IN THE FAMILY-
    IF WE START THIS LENIENCY IT GOES EVER FAR AND IT BCOMES THE USAUAL TREND OF THE FAMILY-

    Must not wear clothes that are tight and revealing, even before her mahram......THIS IS CORRECT-
    Recquirements
    1)The female costume may NOT resemble the male costume.T SHIRT IS MALE DRESS-
    2)The dress may not BE represen tative of the costume of the NON- BELIEVERS.
    3)The dress may NOT show fame, pride, and vanity, i.e. the dress STATUS SYMBOL.
    HERE IS THE T SHIRT REFERENCE-
    so that we cannot see the color of the skin it covers or the shape of the body.
    It is not befitting for a believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Apostle, to have any option about their decision: if anyone disobeys Allah and His Apostle, he is indeed on a clearly wrong path. (Surah Al-Ahzab, 33:36)
    It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the man who wears women’s clothing and the woman who wears men’s clothing. Narrated by Abu Dawood (4098) and classed as saheeh by al-Nawawi in al-Majmoo’ (4/469) and by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
    It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men, and he said: “Throw them out of your houses.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5885).
