Summary
Female artists, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, are expected to maintain proper presentation because they represent themselves, society and the nation. For Muslim women, clothing must fully cover the aurah, must not be tight, thin or transparent, and must not imitate men's clothing, the attire of other religions or of sinful groups. Dress must also not be excessive in drawing attention (tabarruj) and should respect Malaysian cultural values of modesty.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Walaupun menutup aurat, pakaian yang ketat sehingga menampakkan bentuk tubuh tetap tidak dibenarkan kerana ia bercanggah dengan tujuan menutup aurat iaitu menghalang fitnah.
