If we are wearing salwar which has a long piece of extra cloth which perfectly covers the bosom, should we still wear the head scarf in a way that covers the bosom. Wouldn&#8217;t the long piece of clothe draped over the bosom serve the purpose ?<\/div>\n<p>  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/> In the name of All\u0101h, Most Gracious, Most Merciful<br \/>Assal\u0101mu \u1ffealaykum wa Rahmatull\u0101hi Wabarak\u0101tuh<\/p>\n<p>As Muslims, we are very fortunate to be the followers of such a deen which is complete and comprehensive. In our daily lives we ought to be vigilant of falling into the traps of shaitaan. A person at every given moment should be aware of obeying every single commandment of Allah Ta\u2019\u0101la more so in today\u2019s times keeping in mind the amount of fitnah that has befallen us.<br \/>The aspect of hij\u0101b is considered to be something of the past. It is such a delicate and renowned issue at this present moment throughout the world.\u00a0 There are so many people for it and at the same time so many against it. Nevertheless, it is the duty of every Muslimah individual to uphold and revere this outstsanding practice of Islam. Furthemore, the aspect of hij\u0101b all boils down to modesty and shame. The most important thing is to conceal ones body from those who have been prohibited to glance at any woman no matter what type of garb is adorned.<br \/>Modesty is a noble characteristic which should be adopted into every aspect of life. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said:<\/p>\n<p>\u0625\u0646 \u0645\u0645\u0627 \u0623\u062f\u0631\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0627\u0633 \u0645\u0646 \u0643\u0644\u0627\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0628\u0648\u0629 \u060c \u0625\u0630\u0627 \u0644\u0645 \u062a\u0633\u062a\u062d\u0649 \u0641\u0627\u0641\u0639\u0644 \u0645\u0627 \u0634\u0626\u062a<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Indeed, surely people will come to know the words of prophethood. If you do not have shame, then do as you wish.\u201d<br \/>(Sah\u012bh Al-Bukhari, Vol. 4, Pg. 183, D\u0101r Al-Fikr)<\/p>\n<p>\u0627\u0644\u062d\u064a\u0627\u0621 \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0625\u064a\u0645\u0627\u0646 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0625\u064a\u0645\u0627\u0646 \u0641\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0646\u0629 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0628\u0630\u0627\u0621 \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0641\u0627\u0621 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u062c\u0641\u0627\u0621 \u0641\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0627\u0631<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Modesty is from Iman, and Iman leads you to Paradise. Shamelessness is from futile things, and futile things lead you to the fire of Hell.\u201d<br \/> (Sunan Al-Tirmidhi, Vol. 2, Pg. 21, HM Saeed)<\/p>\n<p>Allah Ta\u2019ala says in the Quran \u201cOh Nabi, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers that they should draw down their jilb\u0101bs (outer covering) over them\u2019\u2019 (33:59)<br \/>This command is addressed to the women of the ummat until the day of judgment. Ibn Mas\u016bd and Ibn Abb\u0101s (Radhi yall\u0101hu anhum) states that this verse refers to covering the entire body including the face.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/> (Sah\u012bh mukhatasr ibn kath\u012br, Vol. 3, Pg. 1458-1459 D\u0101r as Sal\u0101m)<br \/>Umme Salama (Radhi yall\u0101hu anha) was asked regarding the interpretation of this verse, she replied, This verse was revealed regarding the Ans\u0101ri women who were seen wearing long black garments\u201d<br \/>Hij\u0101b essentially requires that women not appear infront of strange males without proper covering (hij\u0101b). This has been an established practice amongst all the Ambiy\u0101 (Alayhimus sal\u0101tu wa sal\u0101m) , Sah\u0101ba (Radhi yall\u0101hu anhum) and all righteous people.<br \/>The essence of hij\u0101b is that the body is concealed with such a covering that does not expose the figure or shape of the body and it should not be done with such clothing that clings to the body. If the shalw\u0101r khamees fulfills these criterias, then it will be perfectly normal to wear it considering ones self to be in a state of hij\u0101b.<\/p>\n<p> And All\u0101h Ta\u1ffe\u0101la Knows Best<br \/>Wassal\u0101mu \u1ffealaykum <br \/><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><strong>Ml.
