Can the word "muhajaba" (veiled woman) be applied to one who covers her hair but whose clothing does not conceal her features, or who adorns her face and nails in a way that violates the required modesty?
The Islamic is not limited to covering the head; rather, it includes other conditions related to clothing that is modest, opaque, and loose. Anything that contradicts this, such as tight, transparent, short, or revealing clothing, is considered forbidden tabarruj (display of adornment). Furthermore, adorning the face with makeup is forbidden in front of non- men, even if some say that uncovering the face is permissible, because its intent is often to cause fitna (temptation) and attract attention, which contradicts the purpose of the Islamic hijab. Therefore, anything with which a woman adorns herself that attracts the attention of men is forbidden, and a woman who does so is not considered to be wearing a proper Islamic hijab but rather is mutabarrijah (one who displays adornment).
