Women’s clothes
A woman’s clothes
should be:
□Covering her
body completely.
□Not transparent.
□Not tight and do
not describe her body.
God
says ﴾And tell the
believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and
guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which
[necessarily]
appears thereof and to wrap [a
portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands,
their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their
brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their
right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or
children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them
not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And
turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed﴿
Chapter of Light. Verse NO 31
◊The best prayer for a woman is that she performs at her home.
She should not leave
her home except for a necessity.
God says ﴾And abide in
your houses and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former
times of ignorance﴿
Chapter of
Confederates.Verse NO 33
─ If she went to the mosque or for any other purpose, she
should avoid applying perfume, adornment, or crowding with men.
●It was narrated from Abi-Hurairah that Allah’s Messenger
ﷺ said,
“There
are two types of people who will be punished in Hell and whom I have not seen: men having whips like the tails of cows and they will be beating people with
them,
and women who will be dressed but appear to be naked, inviting to evil.
They themselves will be inclined to it. Their heads will appear like the humps
of the camel inclined to one side.
They will not enter Paradise and will not
smell its fragrance which is smelt from such and such distance.”
Reference: Riyad As-Saaliheen. Book 18, Hadith 1633 [Muslim]
●It was narrated from Zainab, the wife of Abd-Allah, that
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “When anyone of you comes to the mosque, she should not apply
perfume.”
Reference: Sahih Muslim. Book 4, Hadith 159
●It was narrated from Abi-Hurairah that the Messenger of
Allah ﷺ said,
“Any
woman who puts on perfume then goes out to the mosque, no prayer will be
accepted from her until she takes a bath.”
Reference: Sunan Ibn Majah. Book 36, Hadith 77
●It was narrated from Abi-Musa that Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said, “Any
woman who puts on perfume then passes by people so that they can smell her
fragrance, then she is an adulteress.”
Reference: Sunan An-Nasa'i. Book 48, Hadith 87
●It was narrated from Abi-Hurairah that the Messenger
of Allah ﷺ said,
“The best rows for men
(in prayer) are the first rows, and the worst
ones are the last ones. And the best rows for women are the last ones and the
worst ones for them are the first ones.”
Reference: Sahih
Muslim. Book 4, Hadith 147
◊It
is not allowed for men to look at women, unless when there is a necessity.
A Muslim walks in
the street and sees people whether they are men or women. So, his first look at
women is spontaneous and Allah will not take him to account for it.
●Jabir ibn
Abd-Allah reported:
I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
about (the Islamic ruling on) accidental glance (i.e., at a woman who is not
Islamically allowed to look at) and he ordered me to turn my eyes away.
Reference: Riyad As-Saaliheen. Book 18, Hadith
1625 [Sahih Muslim].
●Ibn 'Abbas
reported:
AL-Fadl ibn 'Abbas was riding behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a woman from Khath'am tribe came to
him to ask him for a legal opinion (Fatwa).
Al-Fadl began to look at
her, and she at him. And the Messenger of Allah turned Fadl’s face away to the
other side.
The woman said, “Messenger of Allah, Allah’s making the pilgrimage
obligatory has come when my father is an old man, unable to stay firmly on his
riding-beast. Can I perform pilgrimage for him?”
He said, “Yes.”
This
was during the Farewell Pilgrimage.
Reference: Muwatta Malik. Book 20, Hadith 800
●Umm Salamah
reported: I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
along with Maimunah (May Allah be pleased with her) when Ibn Umm Maktum (who
was blind) came to visit him.
This happened after the order to wear Hijab.
The Prophet told us to hide ourselves from him (observe Hijab).
We said,
“O Messenger of Allah, he is blind and is unable to see us, nor does he know
us.”
He replied, “Are you also blind and unable
to see him?”

Riyad As-Saaliheen. Book 18, Hadith 1626 [At-Tirmidhi and Abu-Daoud].
