“And say to the believing women that they cast down their looks and guard their private parts and do not display their ornaments except what appears thereof, and let them wear their head-coverings over their bosoms, and not display their ornaments except to their husbands
or their fathers, or the fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sons of their husbands, or their brothers, or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their women, or those whom their right hands possess, or the male servants not having need (of women), or the children who have not attained knowledge of what is hidden of
women; and let them not strike their feet so that what they hide of their ornaments may be known; and turn to Allah all of you, O believers! so that you may be successful“ An-Noor [24:31]
Part Two
The following requirements represent the ones agreed upon by the
overwhelming majority of Islamic scholars and are all solidly backed
by firm evidence taken from the Quran, the Sunnah (Prophetic
traditions) and the practice of the Companions of the Prophet .
1. The Extent of Covering
The dress worn in public must cover the entire body except what has
been specifically excluded.
2. Thickness
The garment should be thick and opaque so as not to display the skin
colour and form of the body beneath it. Delicate or transparent
clothing does not constitute a proper covering. Imaam Al-Qurtubi
reported a narration from ‘Aa’ishah that some women from the tribe
of Banu Tameem came to see her wearing transparent clothing.
‘Aa’ishah said to them: “If you are believing women, these are not
the clothes of believing women.” He also reported that on another
occasion, a bride came to see her wearing a sheer, transparent
Khimaar, whereupon ‘Aa’ishah remarked: “A woman who wears such
clothing does not believe in Soorah An-Noor (i.e., the chapter in the
Quran that contains the abovementioned verse regarding the Hijaab).”
Moreover, the following Hadeeth makes this point graphically clear..
Prophet Muhammad said: “There will be among the last of my Ummah
(Nation), scantily dressed women; they will wear their hair on top of
their heads, like a camel’s hump. Curse them – for verily they are
cursed.”
3. Looseness
The clothing must hang loosely and not be so tight and fitting as to
show the shape and size of the woman’s body. This obviously prohibits
such things as skin-tight body suits and the like. The following
Hadeeth proves this point clearly. Usaamah bin Zayd said: The
Prophet once gave me a gift of thick Coptic cloth that he had
received as a gift from Dahiyyah Al-Kalbee, so I gave it to my wife.
Afterwards, he asked me: “Why haven’t you worn the Coptic cloth? I
replied: ‘I gave it to my wife.’ The Prophet then said: “Tell her to
wear a thick gown under it (i.e., the Coptic garment) for I fear that
it may describe the size of her limbs.” [Narrated by Ahmad, Al
Bayhaqi & Al-Haakim]
4. Colour, Appearance and Demeanour
Allaah Says (what means): “O wives of the Prophet! You are not like
anyone among women. If you fear Allaah, then do not be soft in speech
[to men], lest he in whose heart is disease should covet, but speak
with appropriate speech.” [Quran: 33:32]
The reason for the revelation of this verse was not due to the fear of
distrust or misbehaviour on the part of the women, but rather to
prevent them from speaking invitingly, walking seductively, or
dressing revealingly so as to arouse sexual desire in the heart of
lecherous and evil men. Seductive dressing and enticing speech are the
characteristics of ill-intentioned women, not Muslims. Imaam Al-
Qurtubi mentioned that Mujaahid said: “Women (before the advent of
Islam) would walk about among men.” Qataadah said: “The women (at
that time) would wear an untied cloth on their heads, while
provocatively toying with their necklaces, earrings, and other
ornamental jewellery.”
5. Difference from Men’s Clothing
The clothing of a Muslim woman must not resemble that of men.. The
following statement helps to explain this: Abu Hurayrah said: “The
Prophet cursed the man who wears women’s clothes and the woman who
wears men’s clothes.” [Abu Daawood & Ibn Maajah]
6.Difference from the Clothing of Unbelievers
Her clothing must not resemble the clothing of the unbelievers. This
is a general ruling of the Sharee’ah which encompasses not only dress
but also matters such as manners, customs, religious practices and
festivities, transactions, etc.
