A Guiding Word to the Muslim Woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to grant you a guiding word for the Muslim woman in light of contemporary challenges.

Answer:
The Muslim woman must be modest; she must be modest; she must cover herself; she must conceal herself so that nothing of her is visible when she goes out into the street. She must not adorn herself when she goes out, and she must not use perfume when she goes out, even to the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Do not prevent the women of Allah from the mosques of Allah, and let them go out in a state of disarray,” meaning in clothes that have no adornment and do not attract attention. Let them go out in a state of disarray.
O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garmentsيَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَاجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِن جَلَابِيبِهِنَّ
[Al-Ahzab 33:59]
That is more suitable that they will be knownذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰ أَن يُعْرَفْنَ
[Al-Ahzab 33:59]
meaning they are known for their dignity and…
And modesty, so that they are not harmed. The hijab prevents the harm of the open sinners; it protects them from the harm of the open sinners.
That is more suitable that they will be knownذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰ أَن يُعْرَفْنَ
[Al-Ahzab 33:59]
meaning that they are pious and chaste, so they are not harmed, and no one has any hope of them. The women who wear the hijab are not the object of the hopes of the open sinners. The hijab drives away the gazes of the open sinners and keeps the gazes of the open sinners at a distance. So when she goes out, she must wear loose, covering clothing that has no adornment. And she must not use perfume when she goes out.
And she must not
be soft in speech [to men], lest he in whose heart is disease should covetتَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ
[Al-Ahzab 33:32]
, she must not laugh with a man who is not her mahram and not her husband, she must not laugh with him and soften her speech to him, because if she does this, he will have hope of her, he will have hope of her, yes.
