In your opinion...what is considered a modest enough dress
so in your opinion i want to know what you consider a modest dress and what you consider kinda slutty. i want you to take the religious and cultural aspect out of it...and put yourself in the shoes of a woman who grew up in the west ...now...wearing tights or skinny jeans is considered completely normal and acceptable here...and I've even seen somali girls (especially ones who hail from england) wear turbans instead of hijabs. also is dress that stops at the knees but shows no cleavage acceptable? and what about pants suits for professional woman...etc.
all opinions appreciated....just be kind and helpful instead of rude and hateful...
and I'm begging you..for the love of god....don't bring qabil into this.

I do,I'm not married yet but personally i'd be content with my wife wearing a long jean skirt that reaches the ankles and hijab.
To me atleast,a woman exudes femininity when their is a hint of physical mystery about her.

Re: In your opinion...what is considered a modest enough dre
I have seen unmodest xaliimos wearing hijab and a REALLY tight skirt that shows the outline of their panties, and I have also seen modest xaliimos without hijab and who wore jeans and sweater, kind of like this. So really don't know what is modest and what is not anymore. Bottom line is I'm pretty sure Allah ain't gonna ask me about what a xaliimo was wearing on Judgment Day, so wear whatever the fuck you want.

Re: In your opinion...what is considered a modest enough dre
Modesty as far as we muslims are concerned is NOT subjective! It is not defined differently depending on the person. It has an objective and a universal definition which is covering your body from head to toe not revealing anything. Your topic is pointless.

Depends where you are.....in the west knee level skirt and blouse can be considered modest.
For Somali women....face, hands and ankles.
PS what's with those turbans?.....some are almost a foot high.
