hijab is not fashion (part 1)

| 8 Comments

Question 1: Salam,
I’m getting confused about the fashion is going on….even hijbs is sometimes worn the wrong way….being grown up this country I’m not sure what is the correct hijb? some lady cover their whole body including the face, others are simple, and their is some who misrepresent the hijab. Please explain what is the correct hijab using hadith and quran verses.

Q. 2: Does one have to always cover the face as part of Hijab?

Answer:

?????? ?????? ????? ???? ???????

We have derived our answer from Quran and Hadith. Although it would be best to cover the face, to impose the rule of haraam for those that do not abide by it would be incorrect under general circumstances. In all conditions, modesty in presenting oneself is required. Jeans and top, short dresses with form fitting pants does not function as part of an appropriate Islamic dress code, hijab or jilbab. Nor does the fashion of wearing an abaya that exposes a person for a public viewing constitute hijab!

Sadly, your question lacks specificity. I hope we could have helped you more.

Please see the following, thereafter, if something seems unclear, email us back.
