5. Women should conceal their entire bodies by wearing loose-fitting and concealing clothing and by also donning the niqaab.

یٰۤاَیُّہَا النَّبِیُّ قُلۡ لِّاَزۡوَاجِکَ وَ بَنٰتِکَ وَ نِسَآءِ الۡمُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ یُدۡنِیۡنَ عَلَیۡہِنَّ مِنۡ جَلَابِیۡبِہِنَّ ؕ ذٰلِکَ اَدۡنٰۤی اَنۡ یُّعۡرَفۡنَ فَلَا یُؤۡذَیۡنَ ؕ وَ کَانَ اللّٰہُ غَفُوۡرًا رَّحِیۡمًا ﴿۵۹﴾

O Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)! Say to your wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should draw down their shawls over themselves. That will make it more likely that they are recognized and not abused. And Allah is All-Forgiving and All-Merciful.

2. The clothes that one wears should not be tight fitting or body hugging. One should wear loose clothing.

3. The clothes should not be so thin and flimsy that the satr becomes exposed.

عن أبي هريرة قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم صنفان من أهل النار لم أرهما قوم معهم سياط كأذناب البقر يضربون بها الناس ونساء كاسيات عاريات مميلات مائلات رؤوسهن كأسنمة البخت المائلة لا يدخلن الجنة ولا يجدن ريحها وإن ريحها ليوجد من مسيرة كذا وكذا (صحيح مسلم 2/383)

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “There will be two groups (in my ummat) who will be punished in Jahannum. These two groups I have not yet seen (i.e. they will emerge after my demise). One group will carry whips with them resembling the tails of cattle, with which they will (oppressively) lash the people. The second group will be those women who will wear clothes yet they will still be naked (i.e. tight fitting or flimsy clothing), they will attract men to themselves, and they themselves will be inclined towards them, their heads will resemble the humps of the Bukhti camels (i.e. they will wear buns which will be high like camel humps). They will not enter Jannah nor smell its fragrance, despite its fragrance being able to be perceived from a great distance away.”

1. One should not feel ashamed to expose his identity as a Muslim and adopt the sunnah attire in his life. Adopting the sunnah attire is a means of identifying with the way of Islam and a means of showing our true love for Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and his mubaarak lifestyle.

قُلۡ اِنۡ کُنۡتُمۡ تُحِبُّوۡنَ اللّٰہَ فَاتَّبِعُوۡنِیۡ یُحۡبِبۡکُمُ اللّٰہُ وَ یَغۡفِرۡ لَکُمۡ ذُنُوۡبَکُمۡ ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِیۡمٌ ﴿۳۱

(Say, (O Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)), “If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is All-Forgiving and Most Merciful."

عن ابن عباس عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال من تمسك بسنتي عند فساد أمتي فله أجر مائة شهيد رواه البيهقي من رواية الحسن بن قتيبة ورواه الطبراني من حديث أبي هريرة بإسناد لا بأس به إلا أنه قال فله أجر شهيد (الترغيب والترهيب 1/97)

Hazrat ibn ‘Abbaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who firmly holds onto my sunnah at the time of corruption in my ummah will earn the reward of one hundred martyrs.”
