A Treatise On Hijab
"And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband's fathers, or their sons, or their husband's sons, or their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful". (Soorah An-Noor 24:31)
The evidence in this verse, indicating that it is obligatory for a woman to screen herself from unrelated men, is from a number of standpoints:
1. That Allah, the Most High, commanded the believing women to guard their private parts - and the command to guard the private parts is also a command to employ the means of achieving that. No rational person can doubt that among those means is the covering of the face, because uncovering it will lead to men looking at it, contemplating over its beauty, and developing lustful feelings for her. The consequence of this may be that contact is made and a relationship begun. It was reported in a hadeeth that the Prophet said,
الْعَيْنَانِ تَزْنِيَانِ وَ زِنَاهُمَا النَّظَرُ»
"The eyes commit adultery and their adultery is looking (with lust)."

The proofs from the Qur'an include the following:
The First Proof: The Words of Allah, Most High:
وَقُل لِلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَرِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إلا ما ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوهِنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ . إلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ ءَابَا بِهِنَّ أَوْ اب ءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَابِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي أَخَوَتِهِنَّ أَوْ نِسَابِهِنَّ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَنُهُنَّ أَوِ التَّبِعِينَ غَيْرِ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ أَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَى عَوْرَاتِ النِّسَاءِ وَلَا يَضْرِبْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْفِينَ مِن زِينَتِهِنَّ وَتُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا أَيُّهَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ )

رسالة الحجاب
(باللغة الإنجليزية)
No one denies that the modesty which is commanded by Islamic Law and by convention includes the decency and decorousness demanded of a woman, and the kind of behavior that will ensure that she is kept far away from situations of temptation and suspicion. Further more, there is no doubt that the greatest act of modesty that she can perform
is to wear the hijab, which
covers her face. It is the best
thing with which she can adorn
herself, because it protects
her and keeps her far removed
from temptation.
