The question

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 answer

The Islamic head covering () 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.
