Are all these "fashionable women's Islamic clothes" considered modest by the Shariah? Walaikum assalam, This returns to the `urf (local customs and norms). Something highly modest in America may not modest by the standards of more conservative societies. The Shariah has placed general guidelines for proper dress: it must be modest, loose (especially around sensitive areas), and must cover one’s awrah. This is fixed, unalterable guidance. After this, how this is fulfilled returns to local customs, environment, and one’s situation, flexible within the limits of the fixed guidelines of the Qur’an and the luminous guidance of the Beloved of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace). Modesty in dress is important for both men and women. See below. Wassalam. Faraz Rabbani
