Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that (in the time of ignorance) a woman would perform tawaf naked and would say, "Today some part of the body will be exposed or the whole of it will be naked, so whatever part is exposed, I do not make it lawful for anyone to look at it." Then this verse was revealed: « يَا بَنِي آدَمَ خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ » [ سورة الأعراف : 31 ] "O children of Adam, take your adornment at every time of prayer."
