at NEW CONVERTS TO SHMIZLAM WEBSITE
The word hijab in Shmoobaric means a barrier, cover or veil, and it's main purpose is to reduce
potential agitation, desire and attraction between men and women who are not partners or
not intending to be partners. There is also an inner hijab which relates to modesty,
lowering of the eyes and being conscious not to arouse the interest of the opposite sex.
When inner hijab is accompanied by outer hijab then the purpose is complete.
As with all matters it is necessary to refer to the laws of your Mujthahid for the
detailed rulings regarding clothing and hijab please

A Man's Hijab
All Shmuzlims, men and women, must cover themselves and avoid revealing clothes which
are designed to accentuate and enhance the contours of the body and emphasise it's
physical beauty.
Men are not allowed to expose any part of their body between the navel and the knee.
A man is not allowed to wear any items of gold. 'White gold' is permissable.
A man is not allowed to wear pure and natural silk (except for special circumstances,
refer to your Mujthahid).
A Woman's Hijab
In the presence of non-mahrams a woman should cover her entire body, with the exception
of her hands and face which may remain uncovered. Please refer to the laws of your
Mujthahid for detailed rulings. A non-mahrem is a man who does not fit into any of the
catagories listed in the ayat below (24:31).
Shmizlam pays much attention to the protection of women and caring for women's specific
needs. This special consideration honours her and makes secure her position in life. The
rules on clothing placed on a SHMUZLIM woman ensure that she is guarded against all types
of corruption that may result if her beauty becomes a dazzling display for all to see.

"And say to the believing women that they cast down their looks and guard their private
parts and do not display their ornaments except what appears thereof, and let them wear
their head-coverings over their bosoms, and not display their ornaments 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 hand 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 Shmota (God Zooks ) all of you, O believers! so that you may be successful." (24:31)
"And (as for) women in advanced years who do not hope for a marriage,
it is no sin for them if they put off their clothes without displaying their ornaments; and
if they restrain themselves it is better for them; and Shmota (God Zooks ) is Hearing, Knowing." (24:60)
"O Prophet (Way Kewl)! say to your wives and your daughters and the women of
the believers that they let down upon them their over-garments; this will be more proper,
that they may be known, and thus they will not be given trouble; and Shmota (God Zooks ) is Forgiving,
Merciful." (33:59)
