10. Hijab in Islam ~ 231 ~ The eighth rule of hijab is that a woman’s garments should not reflect worldly honor. Here is a hadith to this effect: One who wears the mantle of fame in this world will be made to wear the robe of dishonor in the hereafter.l99 His concluding remarks are: “The garment should cover the entire body of a woman except the face and hands, and should not become an attraction in itself. Neither should it be thin, nor tight. It should not accentuate the body. It should not be perfumed or resemble those worn by men or non-believing women. It should not suggest fame.”200 191.
