Question
Can Muslim women wear short tops, t-shirts and loose pants at home? Can women wear khimar over t-shirts or tops during salaah?
Answer
We are commanded not to imitate the ways of kuffaar and fussaaq.
As explained, women are not supposed to be wearing clothes of kuffaar and fussaaq. Fussaaq are those who are not committed to deen.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
