Mrs Sambo said this at the Annual World Hijab Day, organised by the Coalition of Nigerian Muslim Women held at the National Mosque Abuja.
She stressed that wearing the hijab is very important for all Muslim women in obedience to Allah’s injunction, adding that some modes of dressings in the name of fashion are not only contrary to Islamic dictates, but indecent and immoral.
Coordinator of the group and National Ameerah of Women in Da’awah, Hajiya Maryam Othman, said that the hijab proclaims the identity of a Muslim woman as a conscientious and obedient servant of Allah, downplays her physical attractiveness and protects her and the society against all kinds of indecency and harm.
