Are the verses of the hijab specific to the women of Medina only, or to a certain time, or to the presence of harm, or are they general for every time and place?
Allah Almighty commanded women to observe in Surahs Al-Ahzab and An-Nur, and Muslim women complied with this command. The reason for the revelation of the verse in Al-Ahzab was to distinguish free women from slave women, to prevent evildoers from harassing them. However, the ruling of hijab does not cease with the cessation of its cause; rather, the lesson is in the generality of the wording, not the specificity of the cause. The evidence for the obligation of hijab is abundant from the Quran, the , and the consensus of scholars. Moreover, the practice of Muslims throughout the ages has consistently shown women adhering to complete hijab, which confirms that it is a firm religious obligation that cannot be abrogated or altered.
