Abstract
Islam has strongly emphasized on the concept of decency and modesty in the
interaction between members of the opposite sex with definite dressing code.
Almighty Allah instructs Muslims to care for their nudity in order to defend their
religious dignity. This manuscript discovers that there are different forms of cloth
that Muslim women wear, which can he classified as Islamic
dress. Hence, the two most focused pieces of clothing under the Islamic dressing
etiquette with which this study is concerned are the Hijab and the Niqab. Meanwhile,
the study focuses on the dichotomy between the term and contextual meaning of Hijab
and Niqab under the light of Quran and Sunna of the prophet SAW as well as the
opinion of Islamic scholars.
