Law of Hijaab
The law of Hijaab requires that the whole female body (from head to feet, including the face) be concealed in the presence of ghair mahram (with whom marriage is permissible).
A woman should not emerge from the house unnecessarily. If she has to, due to some need, then she should cover her face and body with the outer garment e.g. 'Burqa', so the face and shape of the body are not exposed. It should be kept in mind that the outer garment should be of simple quality and the eyes should be covered with a net or cloth so as not to be a cause of attraction. The veil should not be put on in such a way where the outer garment is of good quality or thin cloth or wrapped round the face so the shape of the nose are exposed.
Allah says in the Holy Quran,
"Oh Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veil) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu reported Allah's messenger sallallahu alaihe wasallam having said this, "Two kinds of people would be in the worst situation in Hell. First, those officials who would carry with them whips looking like the tails of cows and they would use them for whipping people. Secondly, those women who would be naked despite wearing clothes (due to wearing see through and tight clothes) who would attract strangers (men) towards them and will themselves be attracted to them. Their heads will be on a side like the humps of fast camels. They will neither enter Paradise nor would they even smell the fragrance of Paradise which will reach for distances."(Abu Daud)

What is purdah system?
As a general rule, purdah is a cultural rather than a religious tradition. In other words, although purdah is associated specifically with some religions, this association is not really accurate. While purdah stems from religious values about modesty and proper comportment, it does not in fact have a grounding in religious teaching. In fact, some religious authorities are opposed to purdah for this very reason. At its most simple, purdah simply involves the isolation of the sexes. Men and women are traditionally separated by a screen for prayer, for example, and they may be discouraged from associating in public. In the home, women often have a private area such as a zenana, or harem, where men are not allowed, and men and women are never left alone together, unless they are married. In some cases, purdah is enforced with the use of veils and other garments which are designed to isolate women. A harem, incidentally, is simply an area of the house where men cannot go, rather than a collection of odalisques, contrary to popular opinion. There are a number of reasons why purdah may have become so common in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Although it is linked with the spread of Islam, historical evidence suggests that the sexes were separated long before the period of Muslim conquest in the region, and similar traditions of isolation around the world make it impossible for Islam alone to be responsible for purdah. Purdah rules may stem from a desire to control and protect women, and from traditions where men and women have very distinct and separate roles. Purdah is also about the manipulation and show of power to some extent, as only wealthy people can afford to have separate women's quarters, for example, or to isolate their women so that they do not have to come into contact with society
