Fathwa, - Covering for Muslim women

Question
What is the reason Muslim ladies need to cover the body and hair?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be
upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
No doubt, wearing Hijab )covering all the body of a woman( and
dressing modestly bring many benefits first of all to the woman
herself and then to the whole community in general. These benefits
include the following: Immorality of women as well as their going
outside without covering their whole bodies cause much harm and bring
many ill effects. Allah commands women to cover themselves from the
gaze of men and forbids them to wear revealing dress.
Allah is addressing Muslim women in the Qur'an as they exclusionary
listen to ot and act accordingly. Allah Says )interpretation of
meaning(: }O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women
of the believers to draw their cloaks )veils( all over their bodies
)i.e.screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see
the way(. That will be better, that they should be known )as free
respectable women( so as not to be annoyed. And Allâh is Ever
Oft­Forgiving, Most Merciful.{]33: 59[. And He also Says: }And stay in
your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of
ignorance, and perform As-Salât )Iqamât­as­Salât(, and give Zakât and
obey Allâh and His Messenger. Allâh wishes only to remove Ar­Rijs
)evil deeds and sins.( from you, O members of the family )of the
Prophet SAW(, and to purify you with a thorough purification.{ ]33:
33[.
Allah knows best.
