#Admin_SA Confession- 188 Assalamualaikum. What can be the best way for covering up oneself(females). Is it to nly the jilbaab/abaya or can there be other ways too like wearing other sort of dresses apart from jilbaab? For eg I have come across some stores which sell Islamic dresses like long kurti with very loose bell bottomed trousers n long kurti with long skirts n other of the likes. Admin :- Walekum assalam warehmatullahi wabarakatuhu. Jalabib is plural of jalbab is actually a outer sheet or coverlet which a women wraps around on top of her garments to cover herself from head to toe. It hides her body completely. According to me Islam is not according to us but, we r according to Islam. I am mentioning some points below, choose that as your dress or dress like this :- 1. The outer garment worn in public must cover all of the body except the face and hands. Surat an-Noor, ayah 31 (Check from Quran now) contains a clear command that a womans natural beauty and her adornment are to beconcealed from strangers, except that which might show unintentionally (i.e. parts of the dress or ornaments) or which show as a matter of course because it is not prohibited that they be shown (i.e. the face and the hands). Abu Dawud narrated that Aishah said: Asma came to see the Messenger of Allah (saws). She was wearing a thin dress; the Prophet (saws) turned away from her and said to her: O Asma, once a woman reaches the age of puberty no part of her body should be uncovered except her face and hands. It should be noted that the Arabic word khumur (plural of khimaar) which has been translated above in the ayah from Surat an-Noor as veils, means head covers, not face veils, as may mistakenly be supposed. It refers to a cloth which covers all of the hair. Furthermore, the word juyoob (plural of jaib), also found in the ayah of Surat an-Noor, refers not only to the bosom, as is commonly thought, but also to the neck. Similarly, she should cover her hands if sheis wearing nail polish or some other decoration or ornament. Furthermore, although it is permissible to leave the face uncovered in the presence of strangers, it is praiseworthy to cover it, as that was the practice of the wives of the Prophet (saws) according to authentic Hadith. 2. The outer garment must not be decorative itself or a means of beautification. Fudalah Ibn Ubaid reported that the Prophet (saws) said: There are three people that you should not concern yourself about: a man who parted from the Jamaah and disobeyed his imam and died in that state; a slave who ran away from his master and died without returning; a woman whose husband departed from her after providing for her worldly needs and who then beautified (tabarrajat) herself in his absence. Do not worry about any of them. Ahmad 3. The outer garment must be thick and opaque so as to conceal the clothes worn under it, and looseso as to conceal the womans form. Proper covering cannot be achieved by wearing tight or transparent apparel. The Prophet (saws) said: There will be, in the last days of my Ummah (nation), women who are dressed and undressed. Curse them: they are accursed. Al-Tabarani Abu Hurairah related that the Prophet (saws) referred to: ...women who are naked even though they are wearing clothes, go astray and make others go astray, and they will not enter paradise nor smellits fragrance, although it can be smelled from afar. At Tabarani 4. Muslim women are not to wear perfume in public. Abu Hurairah said that: A woman passed by him smelling strongly of scent. He called to her: O slave of the powerful, are you going to the mosque? She said that she was. He said: Go back and wash it off. I heard the Messenger of Allah (saws) say: Any woman who goes to the mosque wearing perfume will not have her prayer accepted by Allah; first sheshould go back home and have a bath [to wash it off]. 5. The clothes of Muslimwomen should not resemble mens clothes. Abu Hurairah said that: The Messenger of Allah (saws) cursedthe man who wears womens clothes and the woman who wears mens clothes. Ibn Umar said that he heard the Messenger of Allah (saws) say: He is not of us who imitates women nor is he of us who imitates men. Al Hakim 6. The clothes of Muslimwomen should not resemble those of the disbelievers. In Surat al-Hadeed, ayah 16 we are told: Has not the time comefor those who believeto submit their hearts to Allahs reminder and to that which has been revealed of the truth, and not becomeas those who received the scriptures before and for whom the term was prolonged so their hearts grew hard? And many of them are rebellious transgressors. Those who refuse to submit to Allahs commands are rebels against Him, and they are permitted to continue in their rebellion until their hearts become hard. 7. The clothing of Muslimwomen should not be ostentatious. Ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: He who dresses for ostentation in this world, Allah will dress him in a dress of humiliation on the Day of Judgment and set it on fire. Abu Dawud Asma related that: A woman asked the Prophet (saws): Messenger of Allah, my daughter had smallpox, and as a result her hair fall out. She has recently been married; can I get her a wig? He answered: Allah has cursed the maker and wearer of a wig. Abdullah said that Allah (swt) has cursedtattooers and those who are tattooed, and those women who have their teeth filed for beauty and those who have their hair plucked and thus alter Allahs creation. A woman asked him: What is all this? He replied: Should I not curse one whom Allahs Messenger has cursed?And it is in the Book of Allah. She said: I read the Quran from cover to cover but did not find that in it. He said: If you had read it thoroughly you would have found it. Allah says Whatever Allahs Messenger givesyou, take it, and whatever he has forbidden, refrain from it Quran 69: 7 (Muslim) And Allah knows best.
