Question
I would like to receive an answer regarding wearing socks in the summer for women. Why is there an issue for a woman to wear short socks that cover the feet and a skirt that covers the knee and beyond? What is the problem when the calf is not covered? It is very difficult for me! Thank you
Answer
Hello
This suggestion is not suitable, as it is necessary to cover the part between the foot and the knee.

In Mishnah Berurah, Siman 75, it is written that covering this part depends on custom, and it is stated that in our times, the custom of God-fearing people is to cover, and therefore it is obligatory.
And the Chazon Ish wrote that covering this part is a matter of law.
