Question: Fashion in Islamic or Arab culture for women? What How Why?
I agree that people must dress modestly. And I think if a woman wants to dress fully covered then she should. But I disagree with some of the expression against woman’s fashion, when a woman says she does not want to be looked at like a piece of meat. If women are seen are they being looked at as pieces of meat? That offends me and offends my culture.
It is rather a shame to hide beauty which Allah has given for all to be pleased by. When I go out of my house I see the trees and the sky and the mountains and the architecture, and all these things are beautiful. But it is also good to see women who are more beautiful than all of these things. So they should develop their high fashion to enhance the beauty of themselves and make a better world for us to live in.
Those who see no beauty in this world are those who have no hope.
When I am told that I am sinning that is offensive to me. Has beauty been banned? I do not understand.
Some of the answers I disagree with, I see beautiful women all the time but I do not think of having sex with them.
God/Allah requires culture. Fashion is a necessary part of culture.
The following is the answer:

I’m not Islamic, but I believe there is something in their bible which states that women should be covered except for hands and face. It’s not a fashion thing at all, it’s a religious belief. A woman can still be beautiful even if she is covered up.

Ok, let’s say that Muslim ladies’ fashion is changed to enhance their beauty. You know, common sense, that there are many perverts out there who like to stare, make cat calls, and make comments on beautiful women. Not all men, but many do. Let’s pretend for a moment (if you’re not already) that you are married. Now tell me, how will you feel if a man makes a pass at your wife because she’s enhancing her beauty? Will you enjoy that? Be honest. What if another man develops a crush on your wife and tries to make a pass at her? Will you enjoy that? Even worse, what if she enjoys the attention and makes a pass back?
Women dress modestly because they do not want men gawking at them. They want to be seen in society for their intelligence and grace. I as a woman (who was not always Muslim) never did enjoy when men try to make passes or cat calls when I walk by. If I’m interested, I’ll let you know. If I’m walking by, that does not mean I’m interested. So to me, even those who enjoy my beauty with respect still aren’t worth it to deal with those who don’t.
With the way styles are changing these days, even Muslim women are dressing not so modestly, and if you want to enjoy beauty, enjoy theirs. The rest of us would rather pass on your passes.
33:59 O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters, as well as all [other] believing women, that they should draw over themselves some of their outer garments [when in public]: this will be more conducive to their being recognized [as decent women] and not annoyed. But [withal,] God is indeed much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace!

Edit: And fashion varies with each and every culture.

When u go outside to enjoy nature, u dont think of having sex with the mountains, fondling the clouds, kissing the trees? Allah (swt) has given women beauty, but this beauty is for the pleasure of the husband. And just as well a man cant go out uncovered between his navel and his knees. If not working then he shoud be covered almost as much as the woman, with the exception of hijab……fashion exists only to draw attention to oneself….this is not healthy…and serves no positive purpose whatesoever except to make woman jealous of each other, the fashion designers rich, and men horny….sorry but this is the way it is….peace

Answer by sal_moe
firstly u just contradicted ur self, u said:
“…enhance the beauty of themselves and make a better world for us to live in”
whos us mate? you men, so we are supposed to dress up to make ur world more colourful and nice to look at?!!!!!!
secondly, ok fine ur not dirty minded, but trust me the majority ARE.
by covering up our selves we protect our selves and we protect you from the feeling of desier.
and any how who said that women that cover them selves up are not beautiful?
the same way that u expect me to respect ur culture, i hope that u can learn to respect mine.
