Furthermore, some coverings, such as wigs, that are worn as ornaments are not enough. Similarly, clothes that are considered to be ornamental clothes are not enough.

Therefore if the direct way were the criterion for calculating distance in religious issues then it should have been explicitly mentioned in narrations.‌
