women’s dress

Wa `alaykum as-salamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

 

It is wrong to say that Islam enforces a particular type of dress such as burkha or jilbab, etc. she is allowed to wear any type of dress as long as she dresses modestly while not exposing the parts of her body that should not be exposed in public.

 

For further details on this, let me cite her one of my earlier answers:

 

“It is important to remember that the purpose of hijab in Islam is not to cut out women from participating in the activities of the society or to keep men and women utterly segregated or to make it hard for her to function normally in life. Rather the purpose of hijab is to help woman maintain her dignity and honour as a free person and help her fulfil her obligations smoothly and comfortably.

 
So the requirements of hijab are never oppressive or restrictive in any way; here are the requisites of hijab or proper Islamic attire for women:
1) It should be covering her whole body except face and hands;
2) It should be loose fitting;
3) It should not transparent nor revealing;
4) It should not be an attire specifically worn by men only.
So long as your attire fulfils the above conditions, you don’t have to worry. Remember Allah has not revealed religion to make life difficult; rather it is intended to make it easy and comfortable for us. Allah says, “He has not laid upon you in religion any hardship” (Al-Hajj 22: 78). “Allah wishes to lighten the burden for you; for certainly man/woman has been created weak!” (An-Nisaa’ 4: 28)

 

Allah Almighty knows best.
