Allah � states in anotherAyat, � L; ) ) ..:.L:.,.' )j � Jt�, 4-!' � "�»'.y��-4�rJ' "0 Prophet � tell to your wives and daughters and muslim women, that they should keep putting a part of their wrapping covers over their faces. This is nearer than this that if they are recognized , they should not be annoyed. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." (Surah Ahzaab, Verse 59) T he clear meaning of the above is that when a woman leaves her home for any necessity then her entire body, from head to toe, should be covered with a covering, e.g. Burqa, etc. A summary of the above ahkaam is that a woman should be virtuous and chaste in her dressing, appearance and disposition so that loafers and hang-abouts do not have even the courage to trouble them. Lanat (curse) be on that fashion and trend that seeks to make women half naked like in the period of ignorance.
