In the 4th year after Hijrah, scholars agree that the Hijab commandment was revealed. It’s widely accepted as the most reliable opinion among Islamic scholars. The instructions came gradually, mainly through verses in Surah Al-Ahzab and Surah An-Nur. These revelations often responded to social events, like when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) married Zaynab bint Jahsh or when there was a need to protect the modesty of his wives and other believing women from harassment. Although some historical views propose the 3rd or 5th year A.H., most experts stick with the 4th year as the established time for this formal obligation.
