IN THE NAME OF ALLAAH, THE MOST BENEFICENT THE MERCIFUL
All praise is for Allaah. We praise him, we seek His aid and we ask for His forgiveness. We seek Allaah’s refuge from the evils of ourselves and from the evils of our evil actions.
Whosoever Allaah guides there is no one who can misguide him; and whosoever Allaah guides him, there is no one who can misguide. I testify that, none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah alone who has no partner; and I testify that Mohammad (S. A.W ) is His Slave and Messenger.
Assalaamu A’llaikum Warahamatullaahi Wabarakeekuh (May the Blessings and Peace of Allaah be upon You )
The topic of the day is Hijab.It seems to be very long and packed. But will do my best as an Alma'jira, still seeking knowledge about the Deen , Sunnah and Quran .
In Shaa Allaah we will know what hijab is, about it importance ,as it appears in the Quran and the Sunnah.
May the Almighty increase us in knowledge and understanding of the Deen . Aameen
Hijab is an Arabic word meaning barrier or partition, in Islam. However, it has a broader meaning. It is the principle of modesty and includes behaviour as well as dress for both males and females. The most visible form of hijab is the head covering that many Muslim women wear. Hijab however goes beyond the head scarf.
It is required by Islam that Muslim women cover up themselves when they go outside. It is believed that when a female covers up herself, she is given the respect she deserves.
In its traditional form, it is worn by women to maintain modesty and privacy from unrelated males. According to the Encyclopedia of Islam and Muslim World, modesty in the Quran concerns both men's and women's "gaze, gait, garments, and genitalia." The Qur'an instructsMuslim women to dress modestly.
Nowadays, a lot of hijabis(people who wear hijabs) dressed up and not wear the hijab properly as prescribed by the prophet. Some might decide to cover their hair and leave their hands exposed. Others might just use a head scarf to cover their hair and leave their ears exposed.
Other hijabs go the extra mile to cover their hands and legs. The hijab is a dress code that should cover the entire ‘awrah’ of a woman. That is; every part of her body except the face, palms and feet.
Hijabis should avoid transparent clothing and it is important to cover the entire body.
All praise is for Allaah. We praise him, we seek His aid and we ask for His forgiveness. We seek Allaah’s refuge from the evils of ourselves and from the evils of our evil actions.

Looking at it genesis HIJAB
According
to historical legend, after the revelation of the holy Qur'an, which
gave the hijab compulsory and women were required to cover the head and
body with a handkerchief, and the general form of clothing in her veil,
Muslim women have begun to comply with this worthy tradition.
Where did the hijab originate from?
Scarves and veils of different colors and shapes were customary in countless cultures long before Islam came into being in the seventh century in the Arabian Peninsula (which includes present-day Saudi Arabia)
The observance of modesty of men and women and protecting privacy to the passers has had a particular importance, in as much as women veil is considered necessary in the religion of Islam. The holy Quran demonstrates to importance of chastity and modesty and not only asks women to cover their ornaments, but also recommends to walk dignified and to be modest in their verbal communication and even looking, to stop the ways of moral and sexual deviation in community.
Hijab was obligated to the Prophet's family firstly and then to whole faithful women. Therefore, the veil which was observed by some Arab tribes, were considered by Muslims seriously. So far all the Muslim leaders always have been consensus in Hijab so that all Islamic sects consider it as an obligatory action.
It is important to understand several points related to hijab and modesty. The first point is that modesty had been the norm in history, up until the later part of the past century. If one were to peruse historical books of various times and ages, one would find modest covering of women in almost every society. The other point is that modesty is a component in several world religions, particularly in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
This existed in the laws of religions revealed before Islam, and remnants can still be found in the altered books of those faiths. With the final message given to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the order for Hijab was confirmed and finalized.

Modernly the purpose of hijab goes astray with what we find our selves wearing.
We forget the aim of the hijab or some might not even know it aim.
Is it to reveal or conceal?
Beautiful and captivating yes because it shows our shapes.
You can see yourself designed in the dress?
You can feel the tightness of the dress?
Your dress can be noticed at a distance?
If yes then its disqualified to be worn alone without a long veil on it for an outing.
Don't let it be more of a fashion than an obligation
A HIJAB is supposed to be;
1-THE EXTENT.
*For men is from beneath the navel to the knee.
*For women is from head to toe except their palms and faces.
2-THE GENERAL.
Every covering on the body of the Muslim man or woman, such that he/she is in public must fulfill these:
*It must not be transparent(It should be thick and not transparent or see-thru).
Because it cannot cover properly otherwise. Transparent or see-thru clothing makes a woman more tempting and beautiful. Concerning this the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: During the last days of my ummah there will be women who are clothed but naked, with something on their heads like the humps of camels. Curse them, for they are cursed. Another hadeeth adds: They will not enter Paradise or even smell its fragrance, although its fragrance can be detected from such and such a distance.
(Narrated by Muslim from the report of Abu Hurayrah).
*It must not be too tight fitting such that the vital, related and relevant parts become "exposed" (It should be loose, not tight so that it describes any part of the body).
The purpose of clothing is to prevent fitnah (temptation), and this can only be achieved if clothes are wide and loose. Tight clothes, even if they conceal the colour of the skin, still describe the size and shape of the body or part of it, and create a vivid image in the minds of men. The corruption or invitation to corruption that is inherent in that is quite obvious. So the clothes must be wide. Usaamah ibn Zayd said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave me a thick Egyptian garment that was one of the gifts given to him by Duhyat al-Kalbi, and I gave it to my wife to wear. He said, Why do I not see you wearing that Egyptian garment? I said, I gave it to my wife to wear. He said, Tell her to wear a gown underneath it, for I am afraid that it may describe the size of her bones.
(Narrated by al-Diyaa al-Maqdisi in al-Ahaadeeth al-Mukhtaarah, 1/442, and by Ahmad and al-Bayhaqi, with a hasan isnaad).
*It must not resemble the prescribed dress of the opposite sex.(It should not resemble the clothing of men).
It was reported in the saheeh ahaadeeth that a woman who imitates men in dress or in other ways is cursed. There follow some of the ahaadeeth that we know:
Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the man who wears womens clothes, and the woman who wears mens clothes.
Abd-Allaah ibn Amr said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: They are not part of us, the women who imitate men and the men who imitate women.
Ibn Abbaas said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed effeminate men and masculine women. He said, Throw them out of your houses. He said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) expelled So and so, and Umar expelled So and so. According to another version: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men.

*It must not resemble the prescribed dress of the kuffars(disbelievers).
(It should not resemble the dress of kaafir women).
It is stated in shareeah that Muslims, men and women alike, should not resemble or imitate the kuffaar with regard to worship, festivals or clothing that is specific to them. This is an important Islamic principle which nowadays, unfortunately, is neglected by many Muslims, even those who care about religion and calling others to Islam. This is due either to ignorance of their religion, or combined modern customs and imitation of kaafir Europe. Or lets say personal desires.
It should be known that there is a great deal of saheeh evidence for these important rules in the Quraan and Sunnah, and that the evidence in the Quraan is elaborated upon in the Sunnah, as is always the case.
Ar-Rad Quran 13:11 or Al-Ahzaab 20:32
*It must not be too glamorous such that it easily attracts the attention of the opposite sex.(it should not be an adornment in and it self ).
"and not to show off their adornment "
[Al-Noor 24:31]. The general meaning of this phrase includes the outer garment, because if it is decorated it will attract mens attention to her. This is supported by the aayah in Soorat al-Ahzaab (interpretation of the meaning):
And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance [al-Ahzaab 33:33]. It is also supported by the hadeeth in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: There are three, do not ask me about them: a man who leaves the jamaaah, disobeys his leader and dies disobedient; a female or male slave who runs away then dies; and a woman whose husband is absent and left her with everything she needs, and after he left she made a wanton display of herself. Do not ask about them.
(Narrated by al-Haakim, 1/119; Ahmad, 6/19; from the hadeeth of Faddaalah bint Ubayd. Its isnaad is saheeh and it is in al-Adab al-Mufrad).
*It should not be a garment of fame and vanity(Yes putting on garment people should see you in the most trending and expensive hijab or something which has no value ).
Ibn Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Whoever wears a garment of fame and vanity in this world, Allaah will clothe him in a garment of humiliation on the Day of Resurrection, then He will cause Fire to flame up around him.
(Hijaab al-Marah al-Muslimah, p. 54-67).
And Allaah knows best.
Fifthly:
*It should not be perfumed with bakhoor or fragrance.
There are many ahaadeeth which forbid women to wear perfume when they go out of their houses . saheeh;
Abu Moosa al-Ashari said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Any woman who puts on perfume then passes by people so that they can smell her fragrance, is an adulteress.
Zaynab al-Thaqafiyyah reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: If any one of you (women) goes out to the mosque, let her not touch any perfume.
Abu Hurayrah said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Any woman who has scented herself with bakhoor (incense), let her not attend Ishaa prayers with us.
Moosa ibn Yassaar said that a woman passed by Abu Hurayrah and her scent was overpowering. He said, O female slave of al-Jabbaar, are you going to the mosque? She said, Yes, He said, And have you put on perfume because of that? She said, Yes. He said, Go back and wash yourself, for I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: If a woman comes out to the mosque and her fragrance is overpowering, Allaah will not accept any prayer from her until she goes home and washes herself.

So
it is very important that we make good use of our hijabs, especially
the Muslim Ummah. For it is important for us as ummah as elaborated from
the
the holy Quran demonstrates to importance of
chastity and modesty and not only asks women to cover their ornaments,
but also recommends to walk dignified and to be modest in their verbal
communication and even looking, to stop the ways of moral and sexual
deviation in community.
The veil is a vehicle for distinguishing between women and men and a means of controlling male sexual desire....Muslim men are also urged to be modest and to cover themselves between the waist and the knees...
A woman who wears hijab liberates herself from the vain and selfish desire to show off her beauty and to compete with other women around her.

وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَٰرِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَاۖ وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَىٰ جُيُوبِهِنَّۖ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ ءَابَآئِهِنَّ أَوْ ءَابَآءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَآئِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَآءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَٰنِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِىٓ إِخْوَٰنِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِىٓ أَخَوَٰتِهِنَّ أَوْ نِسَآئِهِنَّ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُنَّ أَوِ ٱلتَّٰبِعِينَ غَيْرِ أُو۟لِى ٱلْإِرْبَةِ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ أَوِ ٱلطِّفْلِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا۟ عَلَىٰ عَوْرَٰتِ ٱلنِّسَآءِۖ وَلَا يَضْرِبْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْفِينَ مِن زِينَتِهِنَّۚ وَتُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعًا أَيُّهَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.

narrated from Ibn Shihaab that Anas said: I am the most knowledgeable of
people about hijab. Ubayy ibn Ka’b used to ask me about it. When the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married
Zaynab bint Jahsh, whom he married in Madeenah, he invited the people to
a meal after the sun had risen. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) sat down and some men sat around him
after the people had left, until the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) stood up and walked a while, and I
walked with him, until he reached the door of ‘Aa’ishah’s apartment.
Then he thought that they had left so he went back and I went back with
him, and they were still sitting there. He went back again, and I went
with him, until he reached the door of ‘Aa’ishah’s apartment, then he
came back and I came back with him, and they had left. Then he drew a
curtain between me and him, and the verse of hijab was revealed.

O ye who believe! Enter not the Prophet's houses,- until leave is given you,- for a meal, (and then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation: but when ye are invited, enter; and when ye have taken your meal, disperse, without seeking familiar talk. Such (behaviour) annoys the Prophet: he is ashamed to dismiss you, but Allah is not ashamed (to tell you) the truth. And when ye ask (his ladies) for anything ye want, ask them from before a screen: that makes for greater purity for your hearts and for theirs. Nor is it right for you that ye should annoy Allah's Messenger, or that ye should marry his widows after him at any time. Truly such a thing is in Allah's sight an enormity.

It
was narrated from Safiyyah bint Shaybah that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be
pleased with her) used to say: When these words were revealed – “and to
draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks
and bosoms)” – they took their izaars (a kind of garment) and tore them
from the edges and covered their faces with them.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4481. The following version was narrated by Abu Dawood (4102):
This hadeeth is trying to enlightened us, the fair-minded person will understand that woman’s observing hijab and covering her face in front of men is established in the saheeh Sunnah that explains the Book of Allaah

It was
narrated from ‘Aa’ishah that the wives of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to go out at night to al-Manaasi’
(well known places in the direction of al-Baqee’) to relieve themselves
and ‘Umar used to say to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him), “Let your wives be veiled.” But the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not do that. Then one
night Sawdah bint Zam’ah, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him), went out at ‘Isha’ time and she was a tall
woman. ‘Umar called out to her: “We have recognized you, O Sawdah!”
hoping that hijab would be revealed, then Allaah revealed the verse of
hijab.

It was narrated that ‘Aasim al-Ahwaal said: We
used to enter upon Hafsah bint Sireen who had put her jilbab thus and
covered her face with it, and we would say to her: May Allaah have mercy
on you. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And as for women
past childbearing who do not expect wedlock, it is no sin on them if
they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show their
adornment” [al-Noor 24:60]. And she would say to us: What comes after
that? We would say: “But to refrain (i.e. not to discard their outer
clothing) is better for them”. And she would say: That is confirming the
idea of hijab.

It
was narrated from ‘Urwah that ‘Aa’ishah said: The Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to pray Fajr and the
believing women would attend (the prayer) with him, wrapped in their
aprons, then they would go back to their houses and no one would
recognize them.

Al Noor 24:60
ﻭَاﻟْﻘَﻮَاﻋِﺪُ ﻣِﻦَ اﻟﻨِّﺴَﺎءِ اﻟﻻَّﺗِﻲ ﻻَ ﻳَﺮْﺟُﻮﻥَ ﻧِﻜَﺎﺣًﺎ ﻓَﻠَﻴْﺲَ ﻋَﻠَﻴْﻬِﻦَّ
ﺟُﻨَﺎﺡٌ ﺃَﻥْ ﻳَﻀَﻌْﻦَ ﺛِﻴَﺎﺑَﻬُﻦَّ ﻏَﻴْﺮَ ﻣُﺘَﺒَﺮِّﺟَﺎﺕٍ ﺑِﺰِﻳﻨَﺔٍ ۖ ﻭَﺃَﻥْ
ﻳَﺴْﺘَﻌْﻔِﻔْﻦَ ﺧَﻴْﺮٌ ﻟَﻬُﻦَّ ۗ ﻭَاﻟﻠَّﻪُ ﺳَﻤِﻴﻊٌ ﻋَﻠِﻴﻢٌ
Such elderly women as are past the prospect of marriage,- there is no blame on them if they lay aside their (outer) garments, provided they make not a wanton display of their beauty: but it is best for them to be modest: and Allah is One Who sees and knows all things.
So if we are to look from this verse of the Qur'aan, women whom have passed the age of wedlock face no problem if they re not in Hijab but if they is a different intentions then they should be modest, so what of us my sisters in the deen....?

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَٰجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَآءِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِن جَلَٰبِيبِهِنَّۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰٓ أَن يُعْرَفْنَ فَلَا يُؤْذَيْنَۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful
This verse of the Qur'aan proves that,
the apparent beauty of the woman is harmful to her. When the
cause of attraction ends, the restriction is removed. And relates to the Ayah in Surah Al Noor 24:60 . May the Almighty help us keep our modesty.

So must of
the times you would hear a sister complaining about how guys have been
chasing her even with her hijab. But my sister sorry to say if your
clothes are tighten it shows your figure. Yes your body shape is out .
Apparently or factually you are in your hijab but truly and factually
you are walking nakes.
Also when we wearing
something long but explosive we are selling our skin , that clothes are
transparent astaghfirullaaha, modesty and Modernization over coming us.
So why wont they approach us.
We all arent perfect
but we are striving harder to get closer to the teachings of the holy
Qur'an , Kitaabs and Sunnah of the holy Prophet Muhammad PBUH.
For
Islamic women who choose to wear the hijab it allows them to retain
their modesty, morals and freedom of choice. They choose to cover
because they believe it is liberating and allows them to avoid
harassmentHijabis should avoid transparent clothing and it is important
to cover the entire body
I would end here .
Alhamdulillah have said what i know, taught and learnt from our seniors.
Hoping that i would be corrected where it is needed and if there is top
up it would be done by my our Mallams , Shiekhs and others on this
platform. Wasallam warahmatullah wabarakatuhu.
