Fathwa, - Are all these"fashionable women's Islamic clothes" consideredmodest by the Shariah

Question:
Are all these "fashionable women's Islamic clothes" considered modest
by the Shariah?
Answer:
Walaikum assalam,
This returns to the `urf (local customs and norms). Something highly
modest in America may not modest by the standards of more conservative
societies.
The Shariah has placed general guidelines for proper dress: it must be
modest, loose (especially around sensitive areas), and must cover
one�s awrah. This is fixed, unalterable guidance.
After this, how this is fulfilled returns to local customs,
environment, and one�s situation, flexible within the limits of the
fixed guidelines of the Qur�an and the luminous guidance of the
Beloved of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace).
Modesty in dress is important for both men and women.
