For many Muslim women, it is a big challenge to combine between modesty and fashion in their dress. Some hijabis go so far following the latest fashion trends regardless its consistency with Islamic dress codes. Others would be so strict believing that in order to be modest; a woman should be covered in black from head to toe.

In an attempt to know more about Muslim women’s thoughts about this issue, we posted the question below on our facebook page and asked the readers to share their views.

Question:

Do you think that a religious Muslim woman can still be fashionable and accommodate the Islamic dress code so that she looks fashionable but moderate or is it a rule that the Islamic dress and the fashionable dress can never meet?

Samples of readers’ comments:

Katarzyna Trzaska Ishaq: Islam tells us to dress modestly, cover ourselves and not display our figures and beauty. It does not tell us that the clothes we wear have to be plain black and it has to be abaya. We can still cover ourselves and look nice and fashionable that's what i think.

Mohammad Asif Shaik: If a women understand the Modesty of Hijjab then she will never think about being fashionable with Hijjab... May Allah best us all to Right Path.

Nadia Muneer Baig: If she looks fashionable then she would be attracting men... so I think it's not right...
Salihah Hina: A woman is commanded to observe parda veil by Allah in the Quran so it is up to her to please Allah or people around her by following fashionable people to impress others according to my personal experience I feel comfortable and proud wearing abaya whatever the world does I don't care even if people don't like my dress becz this is my perfect dress code I love it.

Abdul Kareem: Women were given dress code because nobody shouldn't get attracted by her.

Swechchha Shrestha: I don't think fashion and modesty go hand in hand. The main purpose of hijab is to initiate modesty but fashionable clothes no matter how modest people think they are even though it covers up a girl fully still attracts attention. I doubt if our prophet (Pbuh) was alive today he would allow printing our holy places names on a T-shirt in a glamorous way. I don't wear hijab but In Shaa Allah it will come in time.. May Allah guide us all in the correct path.

Shukri Ibrahim: She can be fashionable to her husband within the house or in private. But when leaving the house she should be modest and not something that looks attractive.

Elin Nizam: Maybe yes but at least wear those kinds with long sleeves. -onislam.net
