The dress code for the Muslim woman By Imam Muhammad Naasirud-Deen Al-Albaani

Allah, the most high, said, " Oh Prophet, tell your wife and your daughter, and the women of believers, to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garment." Al- Ahzab (33: 59)

 In Islam, women are held in a high position; whether a woman is a daughter or a mother, single or married, Rich or poor, Islam has honored our believing women. At the center of society is a family home, the heartbeat of which are the women who raise the next generation.

This is why women are crucial to the making of a virtuous society. When women achieve righteousness, the world around them Will intern rectify and we find itself because it is in the hand of women that upcoming nations are nurtured.

Being a complete way of life, Islam has a code of conduct for both males and females and one's clothing in an aspect of good conduct that presents itself outwardly. Contrary to the flawed arguments of those who oppose Islam, our religion is one that venerates and respects women more than any other creed or ideology.

In today's society, many have discussed and debated the clothing of Muslim women. It has become a controversial issue that is often brought up to attack Islam, with some even going as far as to say that aspects of Muslim women's clothing or oppressive or that they have nothing to do with religion.

The dress code for Muslim women is a matter of great importance, in which the Quran and Sunnah has already resolved for us. Following guidance outlined by both is a true mark of believing woman, a sign of her piety, a means to elevating her rank and attaining the status of the women of Paradise.

This extensive text covers important attributes and intricate details related to the clothing of the believing women whom Allah mentions in the above verse alongside the wives and the daughters of the Prophet (saw). 

Nobility, dignity, and respect lies in the following what Allah and his Messenger have instructed us with, and it is the path to success in this life and Hereafter. Having our dear sisters understand and apply in their lives what is published within these pages is vital to achieving the pleasure of our Lord.

In the words of the author, may Allah have mercy on him, "This is a fine thesis and a beneficial treaty, Inshallah, which I have compiled to make clear the clothing that is incumbent upon the Muslim women to wear when she goes out of her house and the condition that she must fulfill in order for her garb up to be Islamic.

 In doing so, I have relied on the Quran and Sunnah, being guided also by the traditions and sayings of the Companions (radiyAllahu' anhum) and the Imams."
