What are the rules about the wearing of clothes in Islam?

Answer 1

you have to dress modestly; meaning cover your body from your neck to your ankle avoiding tight fit clothes and wearing loose clothing so the figure of your body is not shown.

Why? Think of it like this, you find a sweet but it has no wrapper on, would you buy it and eat it? No. Because it's been out in the public; anyone could have touched it. Same concept can be applied to women. Women wear loose clothing and cover themselves to stop men looking at them

Answer 2

Islam, as the last religion, settled for Muslims the general rules and Guides and made teachings to them to guide them in all aspects of their lives and to help them to lead a good life. These rules, Guides, and teachings are based on Quran, the Muslims holy book, and the sayings and practices of prophet Mohamed (peace upon him). They are valid from early days of religion God revelation to prophet Mohamed in year 610 AD until the last day of the universe and the Day of Judgment.
