FASHION AND DRESS

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) cursed the man who dressed like a woman and the woman who dressed like a man. [Abu Dawud]

Hadrat lbn Abu Mulaika (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that when someone remarked to Hadrat Aishah that a woman was wearing sandals (man’s footwear) she replied that ALLAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) cursed mannish women. [Abu Dawud]

It occurs in traditions that a woman must not use so thin a wrapper that her body and hair remain visible. [Mishkat]

Hadrat Aishah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that when Asma, daughter of Abu Bakr, came in to visit ALLAHs Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) wearing thin clothes he turned away from her and said, “When a woman is old enough to menstruate, Asma it is not right that any part of her should be seen but this and this, pointing to his face and his hands. [Abu Dawud]
