The first rule of
hijab
has been derived from the
following passages of the Qur’an:
Say to the believing women to turn their eyes
away (from temptation) and to preserve their
chastity; to cover their adornments except
such as are normally displayed; to draw their
veils over their bosoms and not to reveal their
finery except to their husbands, their fathers,
their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their step-
sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their
sisters’ sons, their women-servants, their slave
