"Sesuaikan etika dan busana Anda dengan lingkungan masjid".
That statement is quite common in our surroundings especially when we enter yard of a mosque. Some mosques warn visitors with such a statement I quote above. This is the second mosque I know having such a statement to remind visitors to adjust their clothes based on Islamic rule, at least to cover their 'aurat'. Please refer to Islamic book concerning about this, you may find it easily in your local bookstore.
The first mosque I know having a statement like that is Al Azhar mosque near Blok M area. The statement is written in such a big font size that everyone can see the statement clearly from a distance. Alhamdulillah, in Ramadhan 1413 H/2010 M, I found similar statement qlued on a wall in Al Maghfiroh Mosque around South Jakarta. Well, in my prediction, there would be a lot of mosques having a statement like that to remind visitors to adjust their clothes based on Islamic rule. What about the mosque in your surroundings? Has the management of the mosque (DKM or Dewan Kemakmuran Masjid) already warned their visitors? If not yet, why don't you advice the management about this?
Hmm, I guess there would be a growing number of mosques that will have a statement like this. Alhamdulillah, all praise is to Allah. I also remember that in some Islamic boarding school (pesantren) have similar statement like that, but in 'stronger' statement since they -perhaps- have more power. They remind their visitors with a statement like this:
"Anda memasuki kawasan wajib berbusana muslim/muslimah".
(You enter compulsory moslem/moslemah-dress area).
