Woman in Islamic Shari‘ah
10. Hijab in Islam
~ 231 ~
The eighth rule of
hijab
is that a woman’s garments
should not reflect worldly honor. Here is a
hadith
to
this effect:
One who wears the mantle of fame in this
world will be made to wear the robe of
dishonor in the hereafter.
l99
His concluding remarks are: “The garment should
cover the entire body of a woman except the face
and hands, and should not become an attraction in
itself. Neither should it be thin, nor tight. It should
not accentuate the body. It should not be perfumed
or resemble those worn by men or non-believing
women. It should not suggest fame.”
