i was having a discussion with a friend of mine today who is learning about hijab and intends on wearing it but had so many questions and was kinda confused about the whole thing - especially about what is meant by 'proper' covering. for her, like so many 'new to hijab' muslimahs, learning the difference between what is merely a covering for your skin to what is concealing your body is the first step.
my friend was confused, thinking that as long as her skin wasnt showing and she wore a scarf that she was dressed appropriately by islamic ideals. to correct her i got this pic below, sent her the original and then sent her my very badly edited one.
my point was proven instantly to her - this model has all her skin covered but her body is not concealed, therefore throwing a scarf on top of the outfit would not matter at all or somehow magically make her skin tight outfit proper hijabi wear.
she got my point and hopefully a few of the sisters out there dressing like the above (in tight clothing, skinny jeans, leggings, etc) while wearing a scarf, will as well.
