Abu Bakr Zoud – The 8 Conditions Of Hijab

			Dear sister in Islam, may Allah
		

			grant you goodness and success.
		

			My dear sister, you should know that Al
		

			Hijab is beyond a headscarf.
		

			Al Hijab
		

			is more than just covering the hair of
		

			the head. It is 8 things. Number 1,
		

			the dress should cover the entire body from
		

			top to bottom with the exception of the
		

			hands and the face. Number 2,
		

			it must be loose, so that it does
		

			not expose the size and the shape of
		

			the body and the limbs. Number 3,
		

			it should be thick enough to cover and
		

			to conceal the colour of your skin.
		

			Number 4, it should not be a dress
		

			of xena, adornment,
		

			in and of itself.
		

			So if clothing is decorated with multiple colors
		

			and,
		

			patterns and stars and whatever it is that
		

			brings attention in the eyes of people, you
		

			should keep away from that. Rather, it should
		

			be simple, and there is no problem if
		

			the dress was completely black, or olive color,
		

			or blue, or whatever it is. No issue
		

			in that. Number 5, it should not be
		

			perfumed.
		

			Number 6, it should not resemble or imitate
		

			the clothing of men. So no shirt and
		

			pants and so on. Number 7, it should
		

			not resemble or imitate
		

			clothing and a dress that is specific to
		

			the disbelieving woman.
		

			And number 8, it should not be
		

			address of fame.
		

			So you do not dress
		

			here with the intention of showing off and
		

			standing out among the crowd, rather
		

			address that is simple
		

			that fits into the community
		

			and culture of Muslims
		

			that you live among Allahu Alam.
		

			I ask Allah
		

			to keep you all guided and steadfast
		

			upon
		

			Al Hijab that Allah
		

			and his messenger
		

			is pleased with. May Allah accept from you
		

			all.
