Q & A

Why is clothing important in Islam?

Clothing in Islam is important as it is considered a basic human need, alongside food and drink. Clothes help distinguish humans from animals and are necessary to cover the private parts of the body, reflecting the Islamic principle of modesty and decency.

What is the connection between shame and clothing in Islam?

In Islam, shame is part of faith, and clothing is essential to preserve that sense of shame. If a person is not ashamed to reveal their private parts, it raises concerns about their faith, as modesty is a key value in Islam.

What are the two aspects of dressing in Islam?

The two aspects of dressing in Islam are the moral aspect (related to politeness and respect between individuals) and the fiqh (jurisprudential) aspect, which focuses on covering the 'aurat' (private parts).

What is meant by 'aurat' in the context of Islamic clothing?

'Aurat' refers to the parts of the body that should be covered in public. For women, the entire body is considered 'aurat' except for the face and palms, while for men, the 'aurat' is between the navel and the knees.

Why is the 'aurat' between men and women different in Islam?

Islam differentiates the 'aurat' between men and women to protect women and elevate their status. Since every part of a woman's body is seen as potentially attractive to the opposite sex, all of it is considered 'aurat' to ensure modesty and prevent unnecessary attention.

What are the main criteria for covering the 'aurat' in Islam?

The main criteria for covering the 'aurat' are: clothing should be loose (not form-fitting), non-transparent (to avoid arousing desire), and should not reveal the body's contours or any part of the private areas.

What does Islam say about the excessive display of beauty or 'tabarruj' in dressing?

Islam discourages excessive display of beauty or 'tabarruj,' which involves drawing unnecessary attention through overly elaborate or conspicuous clothing. Modesty is emphasized, and one should avoid clothing that highlights one's physical features excessively or becomes the center of attention.

How should Muslims approach dressing according to trends?

Islam does not forbid following trends or styles, but it emphasizes that the clothing must fulfill the criteria of modesty, covering the 'aurat,' and not resembling the opposite sex. Any trend that goes against modesty or is excessive should be avoided.
