Abstract
Research carried out on the Quranic verses dealing with Hijab (Islamic Veiling) reveals that, when all things considered, verdict vis-a-vis Hijab was not announced offhand or all at once but gradually and piecemeal as it was revealed upon the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) only after his Excellency. This is the reason why this verdict has left an indelible mark and gained permanency. The passage of time and conditions have influenced the dynamics of the Islamic Jurisprudence and made some verdicts undergo some changes. For the same reason, we can appropriate verdicts which can be practically conducive in our era. As a result, it is essential to explain the philosophy behind Hijab as the demands of the current circumstances in our society can, for ensuring safety of the women, alter the boundaries of Hijab.
