Womens clothing in Islam

The Quran instructs both Muslim men and women to dress in a modest way, but there is disagreement on how these instructions should be interpreted. ... The clearest verse on the requirement of modest dress is Surah 24:31, telling women to guard their private parts and draw their khimār over their bosoms. Both men and women are commanded to lower their gaze and "guard their modesty". The most basic interpretation of "guard their modesty" is to cover the private parts, which includes the chest in womenSome Islamic legal systems define this type of modest clothing as covering everything except the face and hands up to wrists.

Muslim women have special clothes which they sometimes choose to wear in order to protect their modesty. Many Muslim women wear a hijab or veil to protect their modesty. Not all Muslim women choose to do this.


It is considered haram for both men and women to wear clothing that fails to cover the body properly (which stated in clothing guidance, the term "aurat/awrah") and clothes that are transparent. Additionally, Islam prohibits excess beautifying that involves the altering of one's physical appearance.


According to Islam the girl should start to practice Islam ( including wearing Hijab ) once she get her first period. Before that age she is not obligated to pray, fast or wear hijab. Some parents try to make the girl get used to practice Islam at young age to make it easy for her when she grow up.


"O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful."
