Learn how Muslim women dress! What types of veils are there and why should you hide your skin?

Why do Muslim women cover their hair with scarves? Some of them even hide their faces and turn them into black objects. Why do they look different, even though they are of the same Islam? Is there a dress code for Muslim women?

Answer such questions.


Why do Muslim women cover their skin?


The robe that covers the whole body and the veil style that covers the whole body with only the eyes showing are particularly impressive

First of all, the Quran, the holy book of Islam, states, “Hide your beautiful parts, not your hands or your face.” There is no rule that only the eyes must be revealed or that the color of the dress must be black.

So even if you’re a Muslim woman, if you look around the world, you wear very different clothes. From people who wear completely black cloths to people who only cover their hair with a scarf.


Muslim women from Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Even Muslims have different fashions


What are the characteristics of the garments?

Basically, Muslim women must dress appropriately. This is called “modest fashion” in English.

Modest fashion is fashion that does not reveal too much skin and does not show the body line perfectly. In Japan, it is a body-covering code.

I want to hide my body! In Islam, modest fashion was born out of the desire to hide the beautiful parts of a woman’s body, and the desire to cover up the body stems from that desire.

Interestingly, they ended up hiding their skin and body lines in a similar way, although that was not their intention.


Different types of scarves have different names

Although they dress differently, what many Muslim women have in common is the covering of their hair. Scarves come in many different styles, even though they are used to cover the hair.

burqa

A veil covering the whole body. Only the eyes are reticulated. It is found in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The type that covers not only the hair and face, but also the whole body.

nicarb

A veil that covers the whole body except the eyes. The veil is black and is paired with a long black dress called a robe. This style is seen in the conservative classes of Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Somalia. Sometimes a thin veil is attached to the veil to cover the eyes like a black child. It has a style of tying a rope at the back.

chador

A veil that covers the whole body except the eyes. The veil is black and is paired with a long black dress called a robe. This style is seen in the conservative classes of Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Somalia. Sometimes a thin veil is attached to the veil to cover the eyes like a black child. It has a style of tying a rope at the back.

kimer

The type that completely covers the head, shoulders and lower chest. The scarf covers more parts than the hijab and al-amira. Much like the style of a schoolboy with long sleeves over his head and only his face showing. The style fits your head perfectly, so it won’t fall apart.

Al-Amirah.

Use a hair band and scarf to cover the hair in two layers. The hair band, which holds the bangs tightly in place, is flashed while the scarf covers the entire hair. What makes this style different from other styles is the use of two pieces of cloth.

The hair band holds the bangs in place, so the style does not fall out of place. The hair band and the scarf can be in different colors for a more fashionable look.

Muslim head covering for women

A style of covering the hair and neck with a scarf. It is seen in many Islamic countries, including Egypt.

Scarves are made of various materials such as cotton and polyester. There are also variations in colors and patterns. Since the scarf is just a piece of cloth wrapped around the body, it tends to fall off easily. Some people use safety pins or gussets to hold it in place and prevent it from falling apart.

Shayla

When to wear the veil?

The Quran prescribes proper dress, but it does not say “from when”. Therefore, there is no official age or time to start wearing the veil. Therefore, the age at which people start wearing them varies depending on the region, family and individual mindset.

Some people wear them at menarche, when their bodies become feminine, while others start wearing them as early as 7 years old.


Don’t Muslim women have fashion freedom?

You must keep your hair covered and wear limited clothing so that you don’t expose your skin. Islamic women may regret that they are not free to dress up.

It seems to us that there are “restrictions”, but they are enjoying fashion in their own way.

Just because there are restrictions, it is hard to say that fashion is not free. On the contrary, some people find the hidden beauty in it.

On the other hand, some see it this way.

First of all, Muslim women dress modestly and modestly in fashion so as not to attract the attention of men. Even if you hide your hair and skin, through makeup and fashion, you will eventually draw attention to yourself.

Some people look coldly at a Muslim woman who is fashionable and attracts the attention of the world and say “she is not a Muslim” or “she is a careless woman”.

It’s not that easy to be fashionable in an Islamic society. On the contrary, depending on the region or society, there is no freedom of dress, so to speak.
