This behavior and its instances are called “tabarruj” (bedizenment) in the Islamic narrations. Notwithstanding the viewpoint of those who follow the superficial enlightenments of recent centuries and do not consider bedizenment so reprehensible, this article set out to look for the decree on this behavior in the related qur’ānic verses and Islamic narrations. The exploration of Islamic sources indicated that bedizenment is one of the clear legal prohibitions and is one of the grave sins. Based on the Islamic legal and judicial principles, the perpetrator of this sin is deprived of the right to give testimony in the courts of law. The article at hand revolves around the Qur’ān 33:33, the viewpoints of the past Qur’ān exegetes and philologists, and a novel reflection on the connection of the various parts of other verses related to it.}, keywords = {Legal clothing,Hijāb,Testimony,Fisq,Tabarruj}, url = {https://jcis.ut.ac.ir/article_76655.html}, eprint = {https://jcis.ut.ac.ir/article_76655_529cda80ab8e82e956199bb75b66dc16.pdf} }
