Bismillah
As Salam alaikum
Suhannallah. Insha'Allah the muslimah will take heed.
Allahu Alem, but I have a difficult time believing this was the first time someone addressed this issue for her or she ever heard of this advice before. The difference was that before the advice was probably coming from muslims. So somewhere someone has failed.
Maybe, the muslims calling this muslimah to better attire failed in dawah, being too harsh?, too critical?, too easy? Or maybe, this muslimah has a deaf ear to the advice of her co-religionists but as with most of the ummah today will take note when a westerner speaks. Allahu Alem.
I was not there and know little of this exact situation but when Allah Wills something, He Will achieve how He Wills and by whatever method He Chooses. Alhamdulillah.
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
