Sažetak
The article claims that the specific dress codes, common for certain
Islamic countries, are the consequence of the pre-Islamic traditions and patriarchic interpretations of the Qur’an and hence are not in accordance with one of the basic goals of every religion – correcting erroneous social structures. Even though we can conclude from the Qur’an regulations, presented in the first part of the article, that the strict dress code was not set in order to give women a subordinate position, nevertheless some of the practices of covering which are common today and which are presented in the second part of the article, are set by the Qur’an. Therefore the article in its third part emphasizes the need for re-reading of the Qur’an and for re-establishing the primary aims of the Islamic religion.
