Definition Of Modesty And Minimum Dress Code
Surah Nur includes etiquettes/norms of Gender Interaction. In principle, a decent dress is what is required according to the norms of the society. Etiquettes of dressing may vary from situation to situation as well as from time to time. For salah, the etiquettes are different than for sports, for example. In all cases, the requirement of وَ یَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوْجَھُنَّ must be observed in additon to other directives in Surah Nur, however, it’s application may very from situation to situation and from society to society. Securing the Institution of Family is the rationale (Hikmat/Maqsad) behind these directives, but prevention from Zina (adultery) is the ‘illat’ (Haqeeqat) behind them. One will be questioned when one commits any ‘ Fawahish ‘ as mentioned in Quran which includes adultery, display of private parts to others, bestiality, homosexuality etc. One may also become accountable if one goes against his/her honest understanding of these directives and flouts them intentionally because such an attitude may lead to arrogance (‘istakbar’). Other violations done in following of these directives will also be a sin but of a lower magnitude when compared with a major sin like adultery for example. https://youtu.be/YB_Ht7GrklQ
