"Hijab and Jilbab Are Not the Same, Here Are 5 Types of Syar'i Clothing that Muslim Women Must Know"

According to the Shafi'i school of thought, the 'aurat' of a woman is her entire body except for the face and the palms of her hands.

Dream - Islam has commanded women to cover their aurah. This is certainly not without reason, namely to protect women.

According to the Shafi'i school of thought, a woman's aurat (parts of the body that should be covered) includes her entire body except for her face and both palms. This is based on the interpretation of Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 31, which, according to Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), excludes the face and both palms. Furthermore, based on the prohibition by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for women in the state of ihram (pilgrim's sanctified state) to wear gloves and niqab (face covering), as narrated by Bukhari from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), if the face and both palms of a woman were considered aurat, then Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would not have prohibited their covering.

The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Next, because the face of a woman is needed in buying and selling, while both palms are used to take or give something in daily activities. Well, in an effort to cover the aurat, it is not uncommon for Muslims to still be confused about the difference between jilbab, hijab, khimar, niqab, and burqa. To understand it better, here are the differences as summarized by Dream through various sources."

"Differences in Muslimah Syar'i Clothing"

In Islam, there are several types of syar'i clothing for Muslim women, namely jilbab, hijab, khimar, niqab, and burqa. What are the differences between all these types of syar'i clothing?

1. Hijab

Hijab originates from the Arabic language, namely 'hajaban' which means 'barrier' or generally 'covering something'. For example, dividing curtains, mosquito nets, dividing boards, and the like. However, hijab and jilbab are two different things. Not all hijabs are jilbabs.

2. Jilbab

Jilbab is a loose gown that is extended to cover the entire body until it reaches the ground. With this, the jilbab will not show the curves of a woman's body. The jilbab worn by women usually covers the entire body except for the hands, feet, and face.

3. Khimar

The translation of the given text from Bahasa to English while preserving the HTML tags is as follows: The khimar in the Quran is called 'khumur'. It is a cloth that covers the head, neck, and extends to cover the front and back of a woman's chest (including the collarbone). This khimar must extend straight downwards from the head, covering the entire chest.

4. Niqab

Niqab is a hijab that covers the head and almost the entire face, except for the eyes. This niqab is a long garment for Muslim women that can cover the neck, face, and chest.

5. Burqa

Burqa has similarities with niqab. However, it almost covers the entire face including the eyes. Well, in the eye area there is usually a fabric that is shaped with small holes so that one can still see.
