veiling

Bi ismillahir rahmanir raheem

Women have to understand something as it seems they are making the same mistake, your personnel experiances do not change the law or commands of Allah. The black and white truth is that the hijab is obligatory now seperate this from your perssonel expiriance and discuss the issue from there.

The discussion is, is the hijab Obligatory i commented on that. A person should first make clear what Allah has commanded us then say there are dispensations becouse of this and this situation. not simply say it should not be worn becouse of this and this situation.

read what i said in other posts and you will see you have said exactly what i did elsewhere, that the hijab is obligatory but there are diepensations such as physical danger where it would be permited to take it of with the intention of avoiding this real harm.

But i suggest you not make such comments a blanket statment as your situation is only for you and other people live elsehwere and do not have the same experiance as you so they have no excuse.

If a person does not like the hijab and does not wear it becouse of that but uses the dispensation you mentioned than this is blameworthy on there part, they can not hide anything from allah as he knows what is in our hearts.

Maybe we can get some good points, when we discussion this issue from your research.

Ok, I see what I can do on the weekend

This is an issue that will go on till eternity.

 me too .

I think it is wrong to say a mans opinion does not mean much on issues related to islam. The prophet (saw) was a man and had opinions on womens issues. Also most of our scholars who us women look to for rulings and fatwas are men. Therefore gender does not play an issue for me. there is no sexism in islam. A fact is a fact, whether its uttered from a mans mouth or a womans. Hijab is an islamic obligation. That is a fact. whether one wears it or not is their own choice and only allah can judge them. personally i find it amazing that the more and more i hear hijab as an issue in the media, in discussions and the more it is attacked. i see the total opposite effect. everywhere i look the hijab is becoming more and more visible by the day masha allah. i agree with jenni when she says that if one feels unsafe the ruling on hijab changes. i have heard this from dr jamal badawi. but must stress that he said "unsafe" means extreme circumstances where you feel that actual physical harm will come to you because of it. also when the danger is clear a woman should put the hijaab back on. seems logical to me. but there are differences of opinion on the matter.

Queenie, I am saying on this issue a man does not know what it feels like to wear it or be a woman. It is sort of like a man giving you pregnancy advice. It is nothing against men or cerntianly has nothing to do with the prophets opinion. I was just referring to Rami and how men make stern comments against us sisters when they don't have to live as women or mothers or for some sisters single mothers. They DON'T usually understand the suffering that women in the world go through otherwise why are women in the world and in many Muslim countries in SUCH A TERRIBLE STATE??????
