Muslimah fashion

Dress in islam

In islam, women and men both have a dress code when in public and in front of non-mahrams, also while praying. Hijab is not just a headscarf worn by muslim women, it signifies modest dressing and modest behavior.

Few Conditions of hijab for Muslim women:
1. Clothing should cover everything except the face and hands. Yes scholars do have a difference of opinion on the topic of niqab (veil that covers face) and if Muslim women should wear it or not.

2. Clothing should not be tight or transparent, to the point that it reveals the shape of your body and color of your skin.

3. It should not be perfumed or be clothing that resembles the opposite genders.
"If any one of you (women) attends evening prayer, let her not touch any perfume.”[ Saheeh Muslim] 

Verses concerning womens clothing and awrah
-O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies. That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed.”(Quran 33:59)

-Say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and protect their private parts (from sins); and they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what appear thereof...(Quran 24:31).

-When a girl reaches the menstrual age, it is not proper that anything should remain exposed except this and this. He pointed to the face and hands.[Abu Dawud]

-And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent and to draw their veils and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband’s fathers, their sons, their husband’s sons, their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their women, or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women…(Quran 24:31

-A woman should dress decently in front of other Muslim women; she can uncover what she would usually uncover, her hair, arms, feet. As for other parts of her body, such as her thighs, and breast area, they should not be uncovered.
