And tell the believing women to lower their
gaze and guard their private parts from sin and not show of their adornment
except only that which is apparent, and draw their headcovers over their
necks and bosoms and not reveal their adornment except to their husbands,
their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons,
their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their
women (i.e., their sisters in Islam), or their female slaves whom their
right hands possess, or old male servants free of physical desires, or
small children who have no sense of women's nakedness. And let them not
stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And
turn unto Allah altogether, O you Believers, in order that you may attain
success.
(An-Nur, 24:31)
"O ye Children of Adam!
We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover
your shame,
as well as to be an adornment to you.
But the raiment of righteousness -- that is
the best.
Such are among the Signs of ALLAH,
that they may receive admonition!"
HOLY QUR'AN 7:2
