Every Muslim should wear shariah-compliant clothes as admonished in the Holy Quran and Hadith. Covering awrah is a command from Allah for all Muslims and they should obey this Islamic Shariah Law. This paper discusses the heuristic evaluation of a shariah-compliant fashion e-commerce prototype for Muslim women. The prototype aims to help Muslim women to find and purchase shariah-compliant clothes easily and furthermore allows more Muslim women to cover their awrah. Besides, the fashion e-commerce also has the capability in giving suggestion to the users based on their body shapes and size.The prototype was evaluated using heuristic evaluation technique with three software ergonomic experts. Although the evaluation indicates that the information provided is useful and the prototype is well-designed, it also revealed few design issues that should be refined in order to improve its usability before testing it on the real user.
