Question
Is it permissible to wear a skirt with a slit that is entirely below the knee, with no chance of seeing the knee in any way?
Answer
Hello
It is forbidden to wear a skirt with a slit, even if it is entirely below the knee.
The appearance of a slit in a skirt expresses exposure, which is the opposite of modesty.
