I saw something really weird. A hijabi sister with matching headscarf and handbag, the pattern of the cloth matched. Next to her was another woman, her head wasn't covered, yet she seemed more "modest" ????

I wouldn't be happy if my wife dressed like the hijabi sister, or if she had her head uncovered like the other lady. The hijabi sister's clothes were a bit too "fitted", is that the right word?

fitted? Ohhh...thats not a good one is it.:-\
But where the co ordination is concerned, I dont see what is wrong with that.
I always colour co ordinate...(it can be irrritating when you dont get the colour you want though-:-\ ).
Handbags? Oh no, now that is going a bit far for me. They never stay on the shoulder and the worst thing: the bags made nowadays...u cudnt even fit a pack of tissues in comfortably.:rant:

Oh well, thats MY opinion.:)

Allah ma3akum
p.s: my point: colour co ordination can be nice.:)

quoted from Sheikh Saud Shuraim:
Also, know my Muslim sister that to conceal your face and allow your eyebrows, cheekbone, and bridge of the nose to remain uncovered is clear error.

Some women use this as a ploy to cover up their inadequate features.
They will uncover what they like and cover what they dislike.

If our woman folk exit their homes having beautified themselves, uncovering more that what they cover, perfumed, while using their eyes and movement to attract the attention of men, they are indeed calling to deviance and disorder.

^thats one of the reasons i dont like handbags. I prefer a backpack.
 
:sl:

Yes, broter MST...good point.:)
by the way, when I mentioned colour co ordination I would like to add that going off and wearing bright this and bright that is not good. In the home its fine.But not in front of other males...:)


Let me give you an example. Ill pick on myself...as I must judge myself before I judge others.:)

I go to college and wear:

Black jilbaab and the rest of my clothes are black too. Why?

Well u see, to the West... When u wear black...its as though u are dressed rather smartly. Many times I have been told so....:)

According to Islam, it is modest, because I dont have bright clothes that will attract any attention.
Im not saying that Islma says we must ONLY wear black....but what I am saying is....cover yourself modestly. So, when ppl see you, they see you as someone smart (and with a bit of taste in clothes). That way, u are pleasing Allah and you dont get stared at by every Tom,George and Harry.:)

Arent I...clever.:coolsis:

E7dina siratim mustaqeem.Ameen.

Allah ma3akum and I hope I have not offended anyone.
p.s: when I sed colour co ordinated, u can see how easy it is for college (only black). Its only wen I have to go to dinner parties....it can get a bit out of hand.lol.

Grey is a duller colour and stands out less in daytime I think. In colour psychology in the west, black worn by women implies subservience to men.

Actually here in England especially, black is, and will remain to be the 'in' colour cuz it 'slims' you down. Every gori (white woman) has a little black dress in her wardrobe ;D

But on-topic again, the best colours for muslims sisters to wear are those that dont attract the eye.

Do you have any idea how cool that sounds? She could cover her face with her handbag, and everyone would think that she was just a faceless fabric-headed creature.

Imagine the possibilities! Instead of saying 'talk to the hand', they could just cover their face with their purse and everyone would be like, 'whoah, where's Fatima gone?'
