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]
