GUIDLINES FOR ISLAMIC MODEST DRESS

GUIDLINES FOR ISLAMIC MODEST DRESS

         

  1. Covers the Whole Body
    Allah commands women to cover themselves fully, except for the eyes if needed, so they are recognized as respectable and not harmed. (Al-Ahzab 33:59)

  2. Not an Adornment
    Women should not show off their beauty or dress in a way that attracts attention. (An-Nur 24:31, Al-Ahzab 33:33)

  3. Thick, Not Transparent
    The Prophet ﷺ warned against wearing see-through clothes, saying such women will be cursed and denied Paradise. (Muslim)

  4. Loose, Not Tight
    Clothing should not reveal body shape. The Prophet ﷺ advised wearing an extra layer under thin garments. (Ahmad, Al-Baihaqi)

  5. Not Perfumed
    A woman wearing perfume in public is likened to a fornicator. The Prophet ﷺ instructed women not to wear fragrance when going to the mosque. (An-Nasa’i, Abu Dawood, Muslim)

  6. Not Like Men’s Clothing
    The Prophet ﷺ cursed men who dress like women and women who dress like men. (Abu Dawood, At-Tirmidhi)

  7. Not Like Disbelievers’ Clothing
    Muslims should dress differently from non-believers, as imitating them is discouraged. (At-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood)

  8. Not for Fame or Showing Off
    Those who dress to seek attention will be humiliated by Allah on Judgment Day. (Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah)
