❓ Islamic Dress Code,Why?❓
⏩ Question:
Why does allow women to put long clothes en short for men?
⏩ Answer:
In the name of Allāh, Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy.
1️⃣ Firstly
▶️ Matters about how should Muslim dressed has been stipulated in shariah law regarding how men and women must dress. Actually Islam is a perfect religion.in the Qur’an Allah gives instructions in all things even about how we should dress.that’s why muslim live by clear rules and it will be very beautiful when we listen and obey the rules.when you ask why Muslims have to dress like that and so on? then the answer is Allah has arranged it all and that is Allah’s provision.we duty is listen the obey (Samina Wa Atho’na)
✍️Allāh azza wa Jalla stated:
“O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal what should be concealed, and as a fine adornment — and the garment of righteousness, that is best.”
📚 (Al-A’rāf 7:26)
✍️Allāh has mentioned here reasons for clothing:
to cover the body and conceal what should not be revealed in public, and to beautify the body so the person looks better. Islamic clothing is known by its modesty. A Muslim is allowed wear whichever clothes he wishes so long as they are modest, free from impurities, not made from forbidden materials and within textual guidelines. Textual guidelines means that it must abide by the commandments of the Qur’ān and Prophetic Tradition.
Both men and women are expected to show modesty in the clothes they wear. Women are expected to dress in a way that shows they are believing women. The Qur’ān instructs the Prophet, “Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to wrap their outer garments (the jilbāb) around themselves. That is more suitable so that they will be known as pious women, and not be harassed.”
📚(Al-Ahzāb 33:59)
✍️Some Muslims wrongly believe that the hijāb is a cultural practice rather than a religious one. They are very much mistaken because Allāh has instructed the women,
“and they are to draw their veils (khumur) over their heads and chests (juyūb) and not to reveal their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband’s fathers, their sons, their husband’s sons, their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons…”
📚 (An-Nūr 24:31)
✍️Allah instructed the men,
“To lower their gaze from looking at women with desire other than their wives, and to protect themselves from fornication. That is purer for them.”
📚(An-Nūr 24:30)
▶️Men are commanded to dress modestly in loose garments that do not reveal what is between their navel and knees. All lower garments such as trousers or long shirts (i.e. thawb) must be above the ankles just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has commanded,
“What is below the ankles of a lower garment will be in the Fire.”
📚 (Reported by Al-Bukhārī, no. 793)
✍️And he said,
“The lower garment of the believer should come to the mid-calf, but there is no sin on him if it comes between that point and the ankle. But whatever is lower than the ankle is in the Fire.”
✍️And he said three times,
“Allah will not look at the one who lets his lower garment drag on the floor out of vanity.”
📚 (Reported by Ibn Mājah, no. 3704)
2️⃣ Secondly
❓ Islamic Dress Code for Females
▶️Scholars have specified the requirements of the Muslim-woman’s proper dress before al-ajanib (lit. foreigners, i.e., those to whom marriage is permissible) from both the Glorious Quran and the Sunnah.
▶️Once a woman adheres to such conditions, she can wear whatever she likes and go out into public places so long as her hijab complies with the Islamic law.
▶️ A summary of the requirements of the Islamic dress code for females is as follows:
1 — It should cover the whole body.
2 — It should be thick enough, i.e. non-transparent or translucent.
3 — It should be loose and not tight on her body.
4 — It should not be decorated or ornate such as to attract onlookers.
5 — It should not be perfumed.
6 — It should not be considered libas al-shuhrah.
7 — It should not resemble the dress of men.
8 — It should not resemble the dress of the unbelievers.
9 — It should not bear crosses or depictions of anything with a soul (humans, animals, etc.)
✅This is a summary of the requirements of the Islamic dress code for women according to the Islamic Shari’ah.
❓ Islamic Dress Code for men
1 — Clothing must conceal whatever is between the naval and knee.
2 — Must be loose, and not see-through, so that the private areas remains concealed (by loose, not tight garments).
3 — All garments must be above the ankle bone.
4 — Should not resemble the clothing of women.
5 — They should not resemble something that merely seeks to imitate un-Islamic practices/fashions (e.g. clothing of Buddhists, priests, rabbis, hip-hop artists, movie stars, etc.)
6 — It cannot be made of silk
And Allah knows best
