7 Conditions For a Woman's Dress

A Hijab is a word that indicated the following conditions :



1. Clothing must cover the entire body, only the hands and face may remain visible (According to some Fiqh Schools) .
2. The material must not be so thin that one can see through it.
3. The clothing must hang loose so that the shape / form of the body is not apparent.
4. The female clothing must not resemble the man's clothing.
5. The design of the clothing must not resemble the clothing of the non believing women.
6. The design must not consist of bold designs which attract attention.
7. Clothing should not be worn for the sole purpose of gaining reputation or increasing one's status in society.

The reason for this strictness is so that the woman is protected from the lustful gaze of men. She should not attract attention to herself in any way. It is permissible for a man to catch the eye of a woman , however it is haram (unlawful) for a man to look twice as this encourages lustful thoughts.
Islam protects the woman, it is for this reason that Allah gave these laws. In today's society womankind is being exploited, female sexuality is being openly used in advertising, mainly to attract the desires of men and therefore sell the product. Is the woman really free in today's society ? The answer is obviously no, the constant bombardment by the media as to how the ideal woman should look and dress testifies to this.

Islam liberated woman over 1400 years ago. Is it better to dress according to man or God ?
Allah has stated in the Quran that women must guard their modesty.

" Say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty ; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof. " [Quran : 24.31]

" Say to the believing man that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty ; that will make for greater purity for them, and God is well aquatinted with all they do. " [Quran : 24.30]

" And O ye believers turn ye all together toward God, so that ye may attain bliss. " [Quran : 24.31]

    So women are punished because men can't control their feelings.... How noble....

    ----- I respect someones right to follow any religion or belief.... But time has come that all mankind think about flaws of their religions and beliefs... and accept the real natures of the world... As for me I don't believe in GOD or karma... I beleive in humanity... (That is everyone's right to be free and happy)... I know many people won't welcome this comment... But it's open for discussion...

    No one has the right to "COMMAND" us.... We have a brain to think and make the right decisions... That's What humanity is all about... (Make ourselves better...)

    Islamic extremism is on the rise in Sri Lanka. A decade back I would see half or less the amount of hijab/burqa clad women here. Today I am bound to see at least one (often more than one) everytime I step out. I find it repungant.

    As a woman I find it disgusting that women are forced or brainwashed into covering their bodies from head to toe, just to keep men in line. If men get aroused- it's their friggin problem! According to Islamic logic then men should be covered in sacks too, because women too have feelings and are likely to admire or lust after a good looking man at least once in their lifetime. Else you are not normal :yes: So what preventives has Muhammed recommended to stop women from ogling men?

    wanna bet? Have a look at these news items,

    http://www.publiceye.co.ls/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=128&Itemid=1
    MOHALE’S HOEK – Three women aged between 39 and 46, of Phamong, Ha Raisa, appeared briefly before the Mohale’s Hoek Magistrate’s Court charged with contravening the Sexual Offences Act of 2003. The accused, ’Matšeliso Mokhejane, 39, ’Matiisetso Mabooe, 39, and ’Mathabo Lemaoana, 46, were alleged to have undressed a 36-year-old man of the same village, whom they found at a shebeen. They allegedly whipped him and demanded that he have sex with them.

    Man 'gang-raped' by 3 women
    24/08/2005 22:52 - (SA)
    Johannesburg - A 30-year-old man was off to play pool when three women asked him to direct them to a hotel and he claims they raped him in turn after they had had drinks.


    So your argument is pretty lame Saharaz. So let's get back to why men don't have to cover themsleves to avoid being gang raped?
