To fulfil the minimum requirements of Hijab, a Muslim woman covers her entire body, except her face and hands. Once Asma, daughter of Abu Bakr, entered upon the Prophet wearing thin clothes. The Prophet turned his attention from her. He said, “O Asma, when a woman reaches the age of menstruation, it does not suit her that she displays her parts of body except this and this,” and he pointed to his face and hands. [Abu Dawud].
Proper Hijab means loose and opaque clothes. Clothes should not be alluring or similar to the clothing of men. What about guys? Islam outlines a modest dress code for men and women. The requirements are different based on the obvious physiological and psychological differences between the two genders.
Hijab does not apply only to clothes. It is a state of mind, behaviour, and lifestyle. Hijab celebrates a desirable quality called Haya (modesty), a deep concern for preserving one’s dignity. Haya is a natural feeling that brings us pain at the very idea of committing a wrong. The Prophet said: “Every religion has a distinct call. For Islam it is Haya (modesty).” [Ibn Majah].

I am not sure what's the fascination with the topic of Hijab.
FYI, Hijab is something very personal. Wrapping it with Quran or Hadees and then discussing it on a public forum is kind of distasteful. It is like discussing your favorite brand of floss or toothpaste with 10,000 people.
Fashions and trends will always change. Modesty will always be appreciated. Beyond that, forcing a veil on woman is simply MAToos Munkee business.

shorts and tanktops are "modesty" in america, so should muslim women adopt this "modesty"? keep up the matto bashing and every one will simply start ignoring your rants .

Proper ways of dressing have been made clear in the Quran and Hadith.What on earth do you mean its 'distasteful' to discuss it on this forum? I think its very interesting.Why cant we discuss it here?
What about wearing hijaab (hiding every hair on your head) and still wearing tight tops that fully covering the upper body but also showing each and every curve. Unfortunately nine out of 10 hijaabi girls I see here have very awefully tight tops (in some cases pants as well). I know girls will start here that men are not supposed to be seeing girls in that way or keeping their sights down etc. But hey, you know something you got is very promenant and inevidable. You need to wear something a little loose to ‘cover’ it properlly. Its not 100% men’s fault.
Some high school going girls that I have seen wear clothes that are no different than there black friends. The only difference is that they have head covering and their friends don’t. Some girls defend that they are trying their best, and are struggling. Some would say, Islam has asked us to ‘cover the body’ and with ‘not so thin fabric’, and we are very well doing it. On the other hand some ppl find these kinds of dressing with hear covering, a humilation of Islamic ideology. There are different views on that.
When I see these kinds of namoonay, I always think that they might have not understood the real meaning of hijaab. Its haya, not just head covering. If they did, they would know what this (the fitting + head covering) might be illustrating to others.
Yes this is the only hadeez matoo put forward in favour of Perda( Hejab)
In quran it is in surah nessa about JALABEYA to bring down from head to cover the breasts of wives of rasoul(Asws).
So perda is to cover oneself with an opaque dress and even head, if some one likes it. Using scarf and stating it is the best hejjab is not sufficient.
Presenting oneself as a good muslim, by wearing a scarf and covering face, is hipocracy if some one is not really a good muslim, and does so to camauflage (hide behind scarf) oneself.
T o be really a good muslims ones character should, in real sense good, not like this talking too much about scarf and sitting in internet cafe'and kissing boys as was shown on one of the tv channel or as we observe many girls doing, in gulf countries, Camouflaging oneself for the sake of self deception and deceving others to show as if they are of the best quality muslims is of no use,since in GOD's eyes neyat PER SARA INHESAR HOUTA HEY< DEKHAVEY PER NAHEIN BILKOUL.
If a person lady or a man wears Pakistani dress and has sharm and haya and has no intention to attract opposite sex. The dress code is 100% religious. And they are observing perda in totality.

and that's why i stopped wearing hijab, as of today. :(
smoothy I agree with you.I dont know why but some girls always have that excuse of 'stuggling' and that they 'try to do everything'.Personally Iv lived in canada all my life, and have rarely seen any struggling when it comes to hijab.And I agree that tight jeans and shirts are a disgrace when wearing a hijab.I mean how hard is it to wear a light jacket,trench coat or something over it? Its not hard wearing a hijab and dressing well.
well i think it's better that I dont make a mockery or disgrace of hijab by dressing the way i do, whether i do it intentionally or not, and instead go back to being an unspecial non-hijabi
Funny how we're quick to point fingers at other sisters and try to put them down by saying they aren't being modest by wearing tight clothes and stuff.
I'm glad you have it easy while living in Canada. However, it hasn't been the case for everyone else (yes, even for those who reside in Canada). I personally had to struggle quite a lot and I still am. I know a whole bunch of sisters who are also having a very hard time for various reasons.
Therefore, I think it's totally unjustified to ever look down upon any hijabi. You may not know what they may be going through. Instead you should try to acknowledge their effort even if it means wearing hijab with tight clothes. Afterall, who are we decide how pious or not-so-pious they may be. Only Allah (SWT) Knows and He (SWT) looks at the intentions, and He (SWT) is the Best Judge. Hence, we should leave it on Allah (SWT) to decide and not take it upon ourselves to go around criticizing others.

real people don’t wear such clothes. What goes down those runways, is never meant to be worn exactly thatway. THose are generally used for ideas , just like the images posted in fashion and beauty here. fashion designers do more than just clothes, they try to convey their ideas and opinions , and use clothing as their choice of medium.
