As Muslim women, we should know well which parts of our body are aurat and need to be covered. But is that only the matter of covering it? As what we’ve learned, there are certain criteria to be followed in covering aurat properly. It is not only covering your body so that your skins are not exposed, but it is more than that. The dress or clothes that you wear should not be tight as well whereby it can reveal the figure of your body.
The same principle goes with your arm, which is also included in the parts that you should cover. With regards to this, we can see many people nowadays wearing handsock. Basically, there are two different types of handsock due its length – one is up to the elbow, and the other one is up to the shoulder. By wearing handsock, aurat of the arm is not been exposed to others especially non-mahram as well as non-Muslims, which is something good I could say.
But what is actually the need for wearing handsock? Is it used just to cover the skin of arm from been exposed? Or is it something more than that?
Wearing handsock, in my opinion, should be considered as a supplement and a complement for the proper dressing, and not to be used just to cover the skin of our arm from been exposed. It means wearing handsock with short sleeve T-shirt to cover the arm is not yet considered as covering the aurat. That is not the way of covering aurat properly as taught by Syarak.
The same problem goes to those wearing handsock with attractive patterns. They might easily want to show their nice and attractive handsock to others, which is wrong. Wearing handsock with attractive patterns with that intention is against Islamic teachings of covering aurat properly for Muslim women.
However, if a woman wears long sleeve dresses such as Baju Kurung or Jubah, and also wears handsock raises up her hands to get something located in the high place, making her hands with the handsock appear to others, then in such a case, it is forgiven by Syarak.
In short, just to remind all of you, handsock should be worn with the proper dressing, i.e. dress with long sleeve, and not be worn with short sleeve T-shirt because whether they realize it or not, their handsock is tight and can show exactly the shape of their arm just like those wearing short skirt with the long sock… what for?
To all Muslim women, please don’t forget this hadith by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): “That among the signs of the Day of Judgment is that there will be women who will be dressed but will be naked, so curse them because for they are truly cursed! And they will never ever smell the fragrance of Paradise”.
This hadith also related with this problem of wearing handcosk with short sleeve T-shirts because it can be classified as (part of the) dress that show the shape of your arm… so, let’s muhasabah ourselves... do we want to place ourselves in Hell for not covering aurat properly? Nauzubillaahi min dzaalik…
