1 – The head-covering (Hijaab).
2 – Her refraining from applying perfume.
3 – The moderation of her pace such that the sounds of her shoes are not heard.
Allah the Exalted says:
“And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they conceal of their adornment…”
[an-Noor (24):31]
We have also been tried in modern times
with the high heels. Thus, you find that the woman who wears them and
makes a sound with her shoes. Perhaps she even becomes flirtatious in
her walking.
How truthful was the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) when he said:
“The woman is private (‘Awrah), so when she leaves (her home) Satan beautifies her.”
4 – If she is walking
with a female companion in the presence of men, then she should not talk
to her companion. This does not mean that the voice of the woman is
from her private parts (‘Awrah) which cannot be revealed; but rather the
men’s hearing of the woman’s voice could lead to temptation.
5 – That she seeks the permission of her husband (before leaving) if she is married.
6 – If the distance she
intends to go to is considered the distance covered when traveling, then
she should not leave except with someone who is a lawful-relative
(Mahaaram) of hers.
7 – That she does not mix with men.
8 – That she observes modesty.
9 – That she lowers her gaze.
10 – That she does not remove her garments in other than her own home if she intended by this uncovering herself.
For indeed it has come to us by way of the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Any woman who removes her
clothing in other than the home of her husband has indeed removed the
covering which had been between her and her Lord.”
