IMPLEMENTATION OF MUSLIMAH CLOTHING OBLIGATION IN NON- MUSLIM COUNTRIES

The purpose of writing this paper is to study and explain the implementation of Muslim fashion in Western countries. In the midst of Islamophobia and globalization, Muslim women face bans on wearing Muslim clothing by local governments, even in countries with a majority Muslim population like Indonesia. In addition to the above issue, living in countries where the majority are non- Muslims, the availability of Muslim clothing is scarce. How should Muslim women respond to this challenge? Should they submit to the ban and remove their hijab, or should they fight to have the ban lifted? How can Muslim women overcome the limitations of Muslim clothing in these countries? This study is conducted using a literature approach. Through this research, it can be concluded that Muslim clothing is a necessity and there is no dispensation for removing it. It requires the struggle of all elements of society, especially scholars, preachers, and Muslim women, to lift the ban. Thereshould be no ban on Muslim women wearing the hijab because other Abrahamic religions (Christianity and Judaism) also have commands to wear head coverings. From this study, it is also known that Allah does not limit the style of clothing. The Qur'an and the Hadith only provide general guidelines on covering the aurat. Therefore, Muslim women can overcome the limited availability of Muslim clothing in non-Muslim countries by utilizing and modifying local fashion to cover their aurat
