| description |
Like many other religious beliefs, Islam placed
high regards to individual's honour and dignity.
Guarding chastity and appropriate dressing for
the Muslims are guided by their religious beliefs.
The criterion of modest dressing for women in
the presence of strangers and non-Mahram' is
contained in the divine law. It is forbidden that any
person should look at the awrah (intimate parts of
the body) of another, whether of the same or the
opposite sex, and whether with or without desire.
For a man, the awrah is from his navel to his knee,
while a woman her awrah is her entire body except
only her face and hands. Therefore, it is obligatory for a woman to cover her entire body. This article discusses the employer's duty to respect muslim women right to war hijab at the workplace. |
