Women's Special Etiquette

Proper covering

In many Quranic verses the Muslim women are ordered to abstain and keep aloof from displaying their charms and adornment, like the following:

"... and display not your finery like the display of the ignorance of yore..." "33:33"

"... and they display not their adornment save what is apparent of it; and to draw their veils over their bosoms..." "24:31"

"O "Our" Prophet "Mohammed"! say thou unto thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers that they let down upon them their cover garments..." "33:59"

Further many traditions are there emphasising on the proper covering for women, and the Messenger of Allah"S" considers the naked women to be among Dwellers of Hell.

Fatimah daughter of Qays says: The Messenger of Allah"S" said: I never like to see the scarf taken away "removed" from your head, or the clothes be drawn aside from your legs so as men can see them. ¹⁵²

This subject will be elaborated more in chapter five, to come later on.
