My question is regarding how Muslim women are supposed to dress in front of our mehrams(dad/brothers/grand fathers ect ect)
Quran has addressed that in some specific surrah that i read but i cudnt properly understand.I need an answer with the refference to that surrah that
How much skin are we allowed to show? or we arent except face ,hands and feet?
and the translation i read said sumthing like"apnay pehloon ko dhaanp lein" that i suppose reffers to dupatta? does it?
plz point me out where ever i m worng
religius wise, not sure, but culture wise i've noticed most women cover up in front of their fathers/brothers as much as they do in front of stranger men.
I am not aware of anything more strict, parda wise, to be followed by women when in front of their mahrams.
They are however understandably advised to dress up decently in front of their related ones. The hukam of covering the bossoms is particularly to be observed, when outside the house.
being a muslim i need to know meri behan/bhai:bummer:..and its does matters much how u dress up.i m sorry i aint gud with remembering hadeeth but i have gone through a few that emphasises on proper dressing of women.that is y i need to know
In case you didn’t notice this is “religion” forum so she is trying to ask religious requirement in light of Quran and Hadith. It may be a “big hoopla” for you but there are people who like to follow Quran and Hadith in all aspects of life, some people like to know about it. I hope you get the point. Let the discussion continue, if you can answer her question with references to Quran and Hadith then that will be great, if you are unable to answer then let other people respond who have more knowledge, is that okay?
**"And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms..."
**I think you are talking about that verse of hijab?
Mufti Ebrahim Desai says:

A woman’s Satr in front of her Mahram is her entire body except her face, head, chest, arm and calf. However, if the woman feels that she is not safe from the desires of her Mahrams, it will not be permissible to expose even these parts. A woman’s Satr in front of other Muslim women is from her navel to below her knees, and in front of non-Muslim woman, her atr is her entire body except her face, hands, feet. And the Satr of old people in front of her grandchildren is same as the Satr for Mahrams.

^ JazakAllah khair bro cricketplaya ... to further elaborate some say that breast cleavage is okay and some say that the whole breast is okay to show. I think the only case when breast is seen in a non-sexual setting is when it is being used to suckle children, which gives reason for the allowance. I would tend to say that society dictates some part of the requirement and the Qur'an sets the limits.

I do not know where Mufti Ibrahim got his information from . Chest, arms and calf are all satr for a woman even in front of a mahram.
Here is my cue:
"Ayesha (R) reported that Asmaa the daughter of Abu Bakr (R) came to the Messenger of **Allah* (S) while wearing thin clothing. He approached her and said: 'O Asmaa! When a girl reaches the menstrual age, it is not proper that anything should remain exposed except this and this. He pointed to the face and hands."* (Abu Dawood)
Here is verse from Quran:
Say to the believing man that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that will make for greater purity for them; and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; and that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands..." (Qur'an 24:30-31)

... their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss.
