Hijab for Men & Women:
One of the misconceptions that are widespread within the Muslim community is that ‘Hijab’ is specific for women and men are absolved from the compulsions of Hijab. Hijab is a compulsion on both men and women.
In fact, Allah Ta’ala commanded men first to observe Hijab;
“Say to the believing men that they cast down their looks and guard their private parts; that is purer for them; surely Allah is Aware of what they do.” (Quran: Surah an-Nur 24:30)
The verse is clear in describing the Hijab of men, which is to lower their gazes, and not glance upon non-Mahram women, as well as to dress modestly. Immodest dressing includes tight and transparent clothing.
Allah Ta’ala then describes the Hijab of women :
“And say to the believing women that they cast down their looks and guard their private parts and do not display their beautification except what appears thereof, and let them wear their head-coverings over their bosoms, and not display their beautification except to their husbands or their fathers, or the fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sons of their husbands, or their brothers, or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their women, or those whom their right hands possess, or the male servants not having need (of women), or the children who have not attained knowledge of what is hidden of women; and let them not strike their feet so that what they hide of their ornaments may be known; and turn to Allah all of you, O believers! so that you may be successful.” (Quran: Surah an-Nur 24:31)
This verse also commands women to lower their gazes, cover their bodies except the face and hands (which are not obligatory to cover but recommended) and to hide their beautification, except to their Mahram relatives. Keeping things simple, without going into details, it is Haram for Muslim girls to beautify themselves for the viewing of ghair Mahram men. Many women argue that they wear make-up for self-satisfaction, and it’s not their fault that men gaze at them.
This ‘excuse’ is invalid, as Allah Ta’ala says in the Holy Qur’an; “Help one another in goodness and piety, and do not help one another in sin and aggression; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil).” (Surah al-Ma’idah 5:2)
By applying make-up in the presence of ghair Mahram men, women are aiding them in sin by stimulating their desires
