Background and aim: One of the most important pillars of a religious society is adherence to hijab and chastity. This has been mentioned many times in the Holy Quran and the Hadith of the Infallibles. Compliance with ethics and professional dress code will make patients calm and increases professionalism in healthcare settings. The purpose of this review article is to examine the role of hijab and chastity from the perspective of the Holy Quran and the importance of observing ethics and professional dress code among medical staff.
Materials and methods: The present study is a critical review based on library search and examination of verses of the Holy Quran and searching in Persian and English databases, including SID, Magiran, Iran Doc, Iran Medex, Google Scholar and PubMed using the keywords “hijab”, “chastity”, “ethics” and “professional dress code” without time frame. 72 documents were initially examined in this field and finally, 13 documents were evaluated.
Findings: From the perspective of the Holy Quran, hijab is a barrier and an obstacle, but most jurists analyze hijab in terms of appearance, speech, and behavior and explain its beneficial effects in individual and social life. Moreover, chastity means self-preservation and restraining the human soul from taboos and sensual desires. Students and medical staff are required to observe ethics and professional dress code in most universities worldwide.
Conclusion: According to the Holy Quran, hijab is not a physical restriction but a multidimensional tool for preserving individual dignity, enhancing mental well-being, and reinforcing social foundations. This concept aligns with professional ethical principles in healthcare settings. Therefore, integrating the religious concepts such as hijab and chastity with professional ethical standards can improve the quality of healthcare services and strengthen patient trust.
Keywords: Hijab, Chastity, Holy Quran, Medical staff
