Скачать или смотреть Women’s Dress and Modesty | Quran

Dr. Shabir Ally explains that Quran 24:31, often cited in discussions about Muslim women’s dress, is best understood in its full context. The verse follows an instruction to men to lower their gaze and guard their modesty, showing that women were not meant to be hidden from public life but rather that both men and women share responsibility for decency. He says that the Arabic word zina refers not to women’s inherent beauty but to adornments (jewelry or decorations) that draw attention to certain parts of the body. The Qur’an makes a distinction between what is normally visible in society and what is usually kept hidden, affirming existing social norms while adding a key refinement: women should draw their headcovers over their chests. In other words, it was not introducing a brand-new dress code, but improving on what already existed. Interestingly, the verse does not explicitly say women must cover their heads, though this later became a widespread Muslim practice. Far from mandating seclusion, the verse recognizes human realities and promotes a balanced, dignified approach to modesty.
