1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Darraj from Fudayl ibn Yasar who has said the following
“This is concerning my question before Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.), about the arms of women if they are of beautification about which Allah, most Blessed and most High, has said: "They must not expose their beauty except for their husband." (24:31) He (the Imam) replied, ’Yes, whatever must be covered with the scarf is of their beauty and whatever is above their bracelet is of their beauty.’”
1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنِ الذِّرَاعَيْنِ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ أَهُمَا مِنَ الزِّينَةِ الَّتِي قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَلا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَمَا دُونَ الْخِمَارِ مِنَ الزِّينَةِ وَمَا دُونَ السِّوَارَيْنِ.
