Covering For Men Like Women
Assalamualaikum
Today we see some men who like get much beautiful. Maybe wear makeup also,and bracelets, lockers, rings and tattoos and all that things that women do for making themselves beautiful. So is there any hukam for men also to cover themselves or their zeenah (beauty)?

There’s nothing of that sort mentioned in Quran, except for the directive mentioned in Surah Nur. However, men are asked to not copy women and vice versa which would after a certain point tantamount to changing one’s fitrat.

Asalamoalaikum Sir!
Your Response brings an informative insight, but may I ask a question?
The derivative from surah noor commands women to cover themselves to conceal their bodies, but based on the actions of Aisha RA ( she concealed her face also, bringing more meaning to the ayah ) this causes women to follow her footsteps also, causing women even nowadays to cover their face.
What I’d like to say is that it is not necessarily a female action ( the act of covering the face ), as it is not specifically stated by Allah SWT, but rather a difference made from preference.
And in today’s society, it is much different from a time period in the past, where women used to keep their feelings of attraction within themselves. There are many women who will find a man they find attractive, and actively stare, make comments, etc, what is usually vice versa.( I by no means am trying to say that this behaviour is done by women only. I’m just saying that this behaviour is also now common for women. Both men and women must avoid this behaviour )
Based in this outcome, shouldn’t men also try and cover their face? Because for women, if they find a man thinking they are attractive, they will as a result wear niqab so that they do not cause distractions for the opposite gender any further.
By default, if the scenario is vice versa gender, shouldn’t a man do the same, if he meets women whom find him attractive?
Sorry if this is a silly question.
