A wide enough dress that does not outline any part of
the body. The ideal way to do this is to wear a cloak over other
clothes.
It should cover the
whole
body.
The clothing must be
thick
enough so as not to show
the color of skin
it covers or
the shape of the
body.
The Prophet (SAW) said that in later generations of his ummah there would be, "women who would be dressed but naked and on top of their head (what looks like) camel's humps. Curse them, for they are cursed." (Muslim)
The clothing should
not attract men's
attention to the woman. It
should not be flashy
or
shiny
so that everyone notices the dress and the woman.
A dress that does not look
similar to men's
wear, for Muslim women are prohibited
from looking like men.
The Prophet (SAW) cursed the men who looked like women, and the women who appreared like men. (Bukhari)
A dress that does not in any
way
resemble the
dress of the
disbelievers.
The clothing should be modest, not
excessively
fancy and also not excessively ragged
to gain others admiration or sympathy.
The clothing should be free of any
perfume or
fragrance.
