The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (XII)

Yeah true.

This will vary from person to person, depending on the dynamics of the individuals circumstances. But generally we are told to obey our parents so long as we are not disobeying Allah. Hijab is compulsory in Islam and if someone says they shouldn't wear it then they are going against Allah's command.

Maybe she can get the local imam to speak to them, or just keep trying to convince her parents, in a nice manner without being rude or anything. If the parents still stop her then they will be sinful.

I got another issue:
What can one do if their parents who are also muslims not allow them to wear a hijab. Despite showing them hadith and Qu'ran etc.? And they know about this already.

(Not sure if everyone read this so posting again)

Thanks in advance.

Yeah that is what I was thinking. She is scared to speak against her parents though and does want to disrespect them.

So is it still her fault and like will she be sinned? And she is deciding to wear it outside without her parents knowing. And then take it back off when she returns.

This is sooo rare, it is actually confusing.

Asalaam alaikum guys. I really want to know if the hijaab/niqab is compulsory for women in islam. some say that it is while some say that its not. What do u guys have to say.

The evidence that Hijab is compulsary are many. One may refer to the books A Treatise on Hijab by Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen & The Hijab of the Muslim Woma as in the Quran and Sunnah by Sheikh Al Albaani for full list of the evidences.

Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen brings 11 evidences in that book.

Some of the evidences scholars give are:

Allah says:

And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.

[Quran 24:31]

Allah also says:

O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.

[Quran 33:59]


Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

Asma, daughter of AbuBakr, entered upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wearing thin clothes. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turned his attention from her. He said: O Asma', when a woman reaches the age of menstruation, it does not suit her that she displays her parts of body except this and this, and he pointed to his face and hands.

Sunan Abi Dawud 4104

The scholars of Islam are in agreement that Hijab is compulsory. By Hijab it refers to covering the entire body except the face and the hands.

As for Niqab scholars disagree on whether it is compulsory for a women to cover her face or if it is highly recommended with both sides having strong evidences.

Allah Knows Best

You don't have to obey them in this case.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no obedience to any created being if it involves disobedience towards the Creator.”

[Al-Bukhaari, Muslim]

Wearing Hijab outside or in the the present of Non Mahrams is something that is compulsory. So one should not obey ones parents if they do not allow one to wear it. Rather they should obey Allah.

But one shouldnt be harsh or rude with their parents. They should be patient and try to explain what Islam says on the issue and that you want to do this etc

It is similar with non Muslims parents. For example when I used to pray and my dad would enter my room shouting at me, telling me to stop, im crazy etc when im praying - I shouldnt obey him. Rather I should obey Allah as prayer is compulsory.

But I shouldnt get angry or shout or argue as that is a sin. Rather I should be patient, try to explain to them etc

Respond to harshness with kindness is always the answer.

And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better [Quran 41:34]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said :

Kindness is not to be found in anything but that it adds to its beauty and it is not withdrawn from anything but it makes it defective.

Sahih Muslim 2594 a

Hope This helps.

With hijab I thought the hanafi ruling was that the feet can be left uncovered? Or is that only during salah?

And say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve."

[Quran 18:29]
