Muslim - Sisters Can you confirm this document for me please?

1) Around her husband, a sister may dress however she chooses. There are no restrictions on what the husband can see or touch.





2) Around the mahram relatives, women, and children (a complete list of exemptions is given in Surah an-Nur ayah 31), a sister should cover her awra. There are different opinions on the extent of this. The most sensible that I have seen is from the upper chest to the knee. This includes the region that is also awra in men (navel to knee) and extends upwards to cover the woman's bosom, which is a special concern for her. Display of the hair, arms, lower legs and feet, is universally agreed to be halal for this category.





3) Around non-mahram men, a sister must cover all of her body except her face and her hands. The face is the circle of the face only and does not include the ears or any of the hair. Just think about what you wash in wudu. The covering of the hair, neck, shoulders, and upper chest must specifically be accomplished by the khimar (headscarf). The arms, torso, and legs should be covered by loose, opaque clothing that obscures the shape of the figure. A long-sleeved blouse and a jumper, a long loose tunic and a long skirt, or shalwar kameez are all examples of what is acceptable. As well, most scholars say that the feet must be covered with socks and shoes although a few scholars allow the wearing of sandals.





4) Outdoors and in open public places (such as the market or the masjid), a sister must wear a jilbab as an outergarment, that is, over her other clothes. If she is wearing a khimar, then the jilbab only needs to cover from the shoulders to the ankles, such as a long coat. If she is not wearing a khimar, then the jilbab should cover the head and neck as well.





The above rules set out what you need to wear in each situation in order to be observing correct hijab.





Note: Most sisters, including myself, approached hijab in several stages. Usually the first stage is the modest clothing such as the blouse and jumper, tunic and skirt, or shalwar kameez. The second stage is to add the headscarf (properly called khimar). The third stage, often taken much later after reading up on the dalils, is to add the jilbab when outdoors. In the way of things, I expect that most sisters who are reading this have already adopted the modest clothing and are worried about the khimar.











Deciding to Wear Hijab





This is where the difficulties usually come in. For many sisters, it truly is a jihad. I remember very vividly how scared I was the first day I put on the headscarf and went out into public. As long as you are just wearing the modest clothes, nobody has to know that you are a Muslim. Once you complete your hijab with the headscarf, you are suddenly announcing to everyone who sees you that "I am a Muslim". Here is some advice based on my own experiences.





Wear it for the sake of Allah SWT

So for all the young Anglo-American, middle class ditzes who think that suddenly converting to Islam is *the* IN thing to do, (now that many have discovered that interracial dating is so "last season"), you must be aware of these fashion considerations.


Somehow I just can't see too many valley girls jumping on this bandwagon because, after all, the clothing standards would "totally suck" as far as they are concerned.
Reply:1)True


2)What u sai is true.That is also mentioned in cristianity, but no one listens, the only people who did are nuns.


3) No, the women's ear can show


4)The women can wear anything,but it must not be too tight that it can show ALL the curves and the figure of the body Report It

Reply:HanzZDaGrrl_14, like I said, the fashion statement alone would be enough to make most American girls run for their lives. And I remember those poor women under the Taliban, looking like piles of blue laundry with tiny, screened peepholes just big enough for their eyes. Report It

Reply:Thanks for reminding us of the importance. It sometimes feels like a great challenge especially when you live in a western country, I feel singled out sometimes and try to avoid public places. But deep inside I know why i wear it and that keeps me strong.

Reply:I agree with number one. Number 2 I usually refer to Sura 33 verse 55 on the relaxations of the dress code. Number 3 I follow Sura 33 verse 59 by covering everything except the eyes(well I don't do that). Number 4 I do the same thing as number 3 and I think you are required to wear an overhead Abaya.
Reply:i'm not sure about the jilbab part, but the rest is true. i'm still not scarved. but i will inshallah.
