We’d like to state that Shafi`i School of Jurisprudence has two opinions regarding this issue. The first is that it is impermissible for a Muslim female to show in front of a non-Muslim female more than her face and hands. According to Hashiyat al-Bijirmi, the agreed-upon opinion by late Shafi` is that it is permissible for a Muslim woman to show her hair, face, neck, arms, feet and lower part of her legs in front of non-Muslim females. Although, a Muslim woman must be aware that it is not permissible to wear clothes showing the shape of the `awrah (intimate parts) or any revealing clothes (i.e. tight sweat pants, tank-tops, etc.) in front of non-Muslim women; as non-Muslim females may narrate what they see from Muslim females to non-Muslim males.
