4010. It was narrated that Abū Al-Maliḥ said: "Some women from Ash-Shām entered upon 'Aishah and she said: 'Where are you from?' They said: 'From Ash-Shām.' She said: 'Perhaps you are from Al-Kūrah where women enter bathhouses?' They said: 'Yes.' She said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "There is no woman who removes her clothes anywhere other than her house, but she has torn (the screen) that is between her and Allāh."'" (Hasan)
Abū Dāwud said: This is the Hadith of Jarīr, and it is more
complete. And Jarīr did not mention Abū Al-Maliḥ, he said: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said."[1]

Commentary
A Muslim woman must be extremely careful about covering her whole body when out of her house. Today, beauty parlors, or any other location where women expose their nakedness, fall under the same ruling.
