Is the attire of female media professionals, which is characterized by colors and embellishments, despite being full-covering, concealing, non-transparent, and non-descriptive, in accordance with the rulings of Islamic Sharia, especially since Sheikh Al-Munajjid mentioned that one of the characteristics of the legitimate hijab is that it should not be intended for fame?
The Islamic head covering (hijab) for women does not have a specific type or color. Rather, it has conditions mentioned by scholars, and whenever these conditions are met in any garment, it is considered a legitimate hijab. A woman is permitted to go out in colored clothing, provided that these colors or patterns are not provocative or attention-grabbing. As for the prohibited "libas ash-shuhrah" (clothing of fame/vanity), it is attire that deviates from the commonly known clothing of Muslim women in its color or shape, such that it draws attention. We also alert that a woman's appearance in media is a gateway to fitna (temptation/strife) and corruption.
