Satr-E-Awrat – Covering the Nakedness of the Body in the light of Hadith

Hadith 1: Ibn Adi reported in Kaamil from Ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘When you pray your Namaaz then tie a waistcloth and cover yourself with a sheet, and do not imitate the Jews.’

Hadith 2: Abu Dawud, Tirmizi, Haakim and Ibn Khuzaima have reported from Umm ul Momineen Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Allah does not accept the Namaaz of a Baaligh female, who prays without wearing a head covering.’

Hadith 3: Abu Dawud reports that Umm ul Momineen Umm-e- Salma رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا enquired, ‘Can a female pray her Namaaz without wearing pants, but by only wearing a dress (cloak) and a head covering?’ He  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘When the cloak is so full (i.e. long) that it chides the back of the foot.’

Hadith 4: Darqutni reports from Umar bin Shu’aib who reports from his father, from his grandfather, that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘From below the naval up to the knees is the ‘Awrah’ (nakedness which needs to be covered)’.

Hadith 5: Tirmizi reported from Abdullah ibn Mas’ud رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘Awrat is Awrat’ (i.e. a female is one that should be concealed), for when she emerges shaitaan glances at her.’

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Bahaar-e-Shariat Volume 3)
