| Why is it necessary for women to wear an outer garment? |
|
|
|
It is obligatory for a woman to cover her whole body whenever she comes out of home in accordance with the saying of Allah. 'O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when out of doors): That is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.' (33: 59). The Arabic word for outer garment used in the Qur'an is 'Jilbab'. It is reported in an authentic hadith the when this verse was revealed, the women in Madina wrapped themselves in such a way that their heads used to be seen as if crows were upon them. They just left their eyes open to see the way when they walk. A woman is required to cover her head whether she is alone or in presence of someone else in accordance to the saying of the Prophet (SAWS): "Allah does not accept the prayer of an adult woman without s scarf". As to why she is required to cover her body in such a way, the answer is that the woman herself is 'Awrah' (meant to be covered). The main objective behind is to cover her eyes of the non-related (Mahram) men to avoid attraction or temptation. The display of the beauty or the part of woman and free mixing with men lead to scandals like that of Mr Clinton & Monica which is not acceptable in Islam which invites for a clean and pure society. |
