1167. Maimūnah bint Sa’d who was a servant for the Prophet ﷺ, narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “The parable of the woman who walks to impress others in adornments for other than her family, is that of darkness on the Day of Judgement: There is no light for her.” (Da’if)
(Abū ‘Eisā said:) We do not know of this Hadīth except from Mūsā bin ‘Ubaidah, and Mūsā bin ‘Ubaidah is weak in Hadīth due to his poor memory, although he is truthful. He reported from Shu’bah, and some of them reported it from Mūsā bin ‘Ubaidah without it being Marfū.

Commentary
The word 'Ar-Rāfilah' describes a woman who goes on the streets in adornments to attract the male folks of the society. It is essential for a woman to hide her beauty from strangers, and the one who does the opposite is accountable in the Hereafter, and she will face a severe punishment. She will walk in darkness, and on that Day will have no excuse to save herself.
