Abstract
Background and Aim: The Holy Quran mentions the words "Jalabib" and "Khomor" as examples of clothing for women. The presence of these words in the verses of the Qur'an shows that the Arab community was no stranger to these words and used them as a means of covering, although their hijab had more natural than religious aspects. In this research, women's clothing and its requirements have been studied with regard to the principle of dignity.
Materials and Methods: The present study is theoretical in terms of research type and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. The method of collecting information is in the form of a library (documentary) one which has been done while referring to the relevant books and articles.
Ethical Considerations: In order to organize this article, while observing the authenticity of the texts, honesty and fidelity have been observed.
Findings: "Khimar" is a covering for the head and hair, according to verse 31 of Surah Noor, the Almighty God said; use it to cover the chest slits. Another reason for wearing the head is that hair is a part of a woman's adornment and covering the adornment is necessary. But it seems that "Jilbab" is a kind of just recommended cover.
Conclusion: God Almighty gives great dignity to women and considers all these authorities and honors of a lady in maintaining her chastity. It seems that if a special order has been given for covering and hijab in this regard, it is of great importance. Therefore, what is more important than the hijab and is a sign of the existence of chastity is to avoid flaunting in women. Therefore, it cannot be claimed that a person who does not have a cover like a Khimar or a Jilbab is not chaste and has no dignity.
