Bismillah Wa Inna Alhamdalillaahi Wahdahu Wa SalAllaahu Wa Sallam 'Alaa Khaatim Al-Anbiyya' Wa 'Alaa Aalihee Wa Ashaabihee Wa 'Alaa Manittaba'a Hudaah

I ask Allaah, the Noble Lord of the Great Throne, that He be your Protector in this World and the Hereafter, and that He makes you blessed wherever you are, and that He makes you from those people that, when given, are thankful, and when tested, are patient, and when they sin, they repent. And verily these three are the keys to happiness.
I pray you are all in the best of health and the richest of emaan insha?allaah wa ta aala ameen..

As Salaamu'alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuh

Insha?allaah I hope this will aid you sister:

The Islaamic hijaab

Question:

What is the Islaamic hijaab?

Response:

The Islaamic hijaab is for the women to cover everything that is forbidden for her to expose. That is, she covers everything that she must cover. The first of those bodily parts that she must cover is her face. It is the source of temptation and the source of people desiring her. Therefore, the woman must cover her face in front of those men that are not mahram. As for those of who claim that the Islaamic hijaab is to cover the head, shoulders, back, feet, shin and forearms while allowing her to uncover her face and hands, this is a very amazing claim. This is because it is well-known that the source of temptation and looking is the face. How can one say that the Sharee'ah does not allow the exposure of the foot of the woman while it allows her to uncover her face? It is not possible that there could be in the Esteemed, Wise and Noble Sharee'ah a contradiction. Yet everyone knows that the temptation from uncovering the face is much greater than the temptation that results from the uncovering of the feet. Everyone also knows that the most sought after aspect of the woman for men is the face. If you told a prospective groom that a woman's face is ugly but her feet are beautiful, he would not propose to such a woman. However, if you told him that her face was beautiful but her hands, palms, or shins were less than beautiful, he would still propose to her. From this one can conclude that the face is the first thing that must be covered. There are also evidences from the Book of Allaah and the sunnah of our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam). There are also statements from the Companions, the leading Imams and the great scholars of Islaam that indicate that it is obligatory for the woman to cover all of her body in the presence of non-mahram men. This obviously indicates that it is obligatory upon the woman to cover her face in front of such men. However, this is not the place to quote all those authorities.
And Allaah knows best.

Rulings derived from the Evidences on Hijaab

Author: Shaikh Zayd bin Muhammad Al-Madkhalee

Source: His treatise "Wujoob Sitr-il-Wajhi wal-Kafayn"

Produced by: Al-Ibaanah.com

First:

A clarification of the rulings that can be derived from the evidences on Hijaab, and they are as follows:

1. The obligation of the legislated Hijaab is definite and binding on all of the believing women, there being no room for lenience or negotiation with regard to abolishing it or belittling its status and its significance.

2. A clarification that the Prophet?s chaste wives and noble daughters serve as the best examples and most outstanding role models for all Muslim women when it comes to implementing the issue of Hijaab.

3. The prescribed Hijaab is that which covers a woman?s adornment, garments and all of her body, which includes the face and the hands.

4. The obligation of wearing the Hijaab on the Muslim woman consists of honoring her status, raising her rank, and protecting her dignity and personality. In fact it protects the whole society from the avenues of mischief and corruption appearing in it and the spreading of vile acts amongst its people and inhabitants.

5. A severe warning to the Muslim woman against her wearing that which will make the eyes of men look towards her or which will make their hearts incline to her or which will incite the causes of mischief. Such enticements include wearing perfumes and cosmetics. However she is permitted to wear these when she is in the presence of her husband or her male guardians according to the limits of the noble Religion.

6. There is nothing wrong with children, young boys and whoever else falls under their ruling, to enter into a woman?s presence due to the lack of there occurring any fitnah or danger from them, as is apparent from the Qur?aan.

7. The obligation of repenting to Allaah in general and to seek forgiveness for falling short of abiding by the Hijaab in particular, hoping for Allaah?s Contentment and Mercy, and desiring to attain success in both this world and the next life, acting on Allaah?s statement:

?And turn in repentance to Allaah, all of you, O believers, in order that you may be successful.? [Surah An-Noor: 31]

The Conditions for the Proper Hijaab

Author: Shaikh Zayd bin Muhammad Al-Madkhalee

Source:  His treatise "Wujoob Sitr-il-Wajhi wal-Kafayn"

Produced by : Al-Ibaanah.com

Second:

An explanation of the conditions required for the Hijaab to fulfill its religious objective. Below is a list of the Hijaab?s necessary conditions:

1. The Hijaab must cover a woman?s entire body, based on Allaah?s statement: ?O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the believing women to cast their jalaabeeb over themselves (i.e. their bodies).? [33:59] You have already come to know from what we have written previously that the jilbaab is a long garment that is ample enough to cover the entire body and that the meaning of the word idnaa (to cast) is ?to lower? and ?to let down? as was stated previously.

2. The garment must be thick, not thin and transparent. This is since the objective of the Hijaab, which is to veil a woman?s entire body and her hidden and apparent adornment, cannot be achieved with a thin garment. Therefore, that which a great amount of covered women wear today, which they call the ?abaa?ah (cloak) or the malaa?ah (mantle), but which are transparent and describe the skin, such that the onlooker can see what lies beneath the garment, is not considered a legitimate Hijaab since it only brings about an increase in her ability to entice (men) with her attractive and alluring features. And yet they only wear it so that it could be said: ?They are wearing Hijaab.? So we seek Allaah?s refuge from deception, the harm of which only falls on those who love and are infatuated with it.

3. The Hijaab must not be a source of decoration in itself, such as by it being colorful and flashy, causing eyes to turn towards it and hearts to be diseased (with temptation). We explained previously the meaning of Allaah?s saying: "And (tell the believing women) not to display their zeenah (adornment) except for that which is apparent from it.? [24:31] So since it is this way, then every Hijaab that does not prevent the display of one?s adornment in front of male-strangers, is not a valid Hijaab.

4. It must be ample and loose, since a tight garment outlines the body and reveals it in front of male strangers. So it goes against the objective that is sought after from the obligation of Hijaab. Furthermore, from the various types of tight clothes is that which is called pants, since it does not properly cover what it goes over. On top of that, it describes and outlines the body, as well as resembling the dress of men, and the Prophet (sallAllaahu ?alayhi wa sallam) cursed: ?The man who wears a woman?s garment and the woman who wears a man?s garment.? [Reported by Abu Dawood and An-Nasaa?ee]

5. It is also required for the Hijaab not to be perfumed, since fragrances cause men?s desires to be incited and for them to be tempted, against their wills. So a woman who does this carries the sin of her action as well as the sin of those who respond to her active call to this type of fornication. It is reported in a hadeeth collected by the Sunan compilers and others that the Prophet (sallAllaahu ?alayhi wa sallam) said: ?Indeed, when a woman perfumes herself and then passes by a gathering, she is such and such? ? meaning a fornicator. And in another narration, he (sallAllaahu ?alayhi wa sallam) said: ?Verily, when a woman perfumes herself and then passes by a group of people such that they can smell her scent, she is a fornicator.?

These, O Muslim brothers and sisters, are the conditions required for the Hijaab to achieve its intended objective. So we must fear Allaah and be dutiful to Him by obeying what He has commanded and abstaining from what He has forbidden, and by following His Messenger (sallAllaahu ?alayhi wa sallam), for indeed this brings success in both this life and the next.

bismillaah walhamdulillaah wassalaatu wassalaamu alaa rasoolillaah wa ba'd
assalaamu alaikum.
Q:I have heard it is not permissible for women to wear pants, or anything else that resembles men. How about if the woman wears this under her abaaya so that she can conceal the legs properly? Does this prohibition apply to the "shalwaar" which is the pants worn by men and women from pakistan, India and Africa? And does this apply to the medical scrubs, which is a uniform that the medical workers wear that is exactly the same for men and women? How about "tights" (also called leggings or panty-hose)?
Barak-Allaahu feek

Answer:
Yes, people in the west wear pants, even muslims, even Ekhwaan Muslimeen. Their wowen attend and give lecture while she is wearing pants. Saheeh (correct), for that this woman asked about the rule of wearing pants.

Wearing pants are NOT allowed for women or for men because it resembles Kuffar except if it is covered. It is (labaas) no harm if a Thobb is worn over the pants. This is, also, which is Sitr (Covering) for a woman. It is narrated by Swaid Bin Qais "We gave Bai'ah (pledge) to Rasoolullah Peace and Blessing be upon him and we were wearing pants...."

The people of knowledge differ in regard to whether Rasoolullah Peace and Blessing be upon him wore pants or not. Some of them said there is no daleel (evidence) that wearing pants is allowed or forbidden. Nevertheless, Rasoolullah Peace and Blessing be upon him bought pants and He bought them for nothing but to wear them.

It came by Hadeeth Mawdooa(Fabricated) that Rasoolullah Peace and Blessing be upon him said, "may Allaah have mercy" or "may Allah forgive the women who wear pants" but this Hadeeth is fabricated (lie).

Based on this, the rule of wearing pants is the same for men or for women. It is permissible to wear them under the clothes. But wearing them without putting anything over them is not correct because it resembles kuffar.

We seek refuge in Allaah from committing sins. Verily it is narrated that Rasoolullah Peace and Blessing be upon him said, "whoever resemble poeple, surely he is one of them"

Spoken by Alaamah Shiekh Abee AbdulRahman Yahyaa El-Hajooree may Allah preserve him.
