The Concept and Limit of Womens Adornment in Quran Commentary

The holy Quran has dealt with women`s adornment and its decree in 33 of Ahzab and 60 of Nur. The proposed definitions from the commentators and jurisprudents are various but similar to each other. This paper intends to explain the concept and limit of adornment precisely. Analysis of adornment elements indicates that the domain of women’s adornment is wider than manifesting embellishment and adornment of their coverage and includes other manifestations such as adornment in behavior, speech content, etc. and any kind of showing off including dressing, behavior and the content of speech from women in front of unlawful men that may cause committing sin is deemed as adornment.
