After listening to the debate on BBC Website I thought that it would be a good idea that the brothers post some articles concerning the Hijaab as a reminder to the Muslims and a rebuttal of the apologists and a refutation of the disbeleivers. What is shocking is that Salma Yaqoob says 'In Iran and Saudi Arabia the Hijaab is a tool of oppression because it is forced on women and if I was their I would campaign against it'
I have attached the debate.

O CHASTE MUSLIM WOMAN! STICK TO THE ADVICE OF THE INHERITORS OF THE PROPHETS (i.e. THE SCHOLARS UPON THE PATH OF THE SALAF) AND GIVE NO CONSIDERATION TO THE VIEWS OF THE MALE AND FEMALE CALLERS TO THE HELL FIRE
Sheikh Saalih al Fawzaan stated:
That which is obligatory upon the MUSLIM WOMAN is that she excises patience upon her religion, and upon that which is specified for her in the rulings of the Sharee-ah. And that she should consider /regard this as her صلاحها (that which brings her absolute goodness and righteousness) and her فلاحها (that which brings her salvation/success) in this life and the next; and that which opposes this is her هلاكها (that which brings her destruction/loss) in this life and the next.
This is what is obligatory upon her.., to exercise patience and to be adhering to her religion, and not to turn her attention to the callers to misguidance. That is because they do not want good for her, rather they want evil for her. The callers to the gates of hell fire want to cast the woman in the hell fire by way of her opposition to the rulings of Allah. سبحانه وتعالى .

Advice to the Muslim Woman
AUTHOR: Shaikh Saalih bin Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan
TRANSLATED: Al-Ibaanah Book Publishing
PRODUCED BY: Al-Ibaanah.com
ABOUT THE BOOK:
This book is a complete translation of a transcribed lecture from Shaikh Saalih Al-Fawzaan entitled: ?Naseehah Lil-Mar?at-il-Muslimah? (Advice to the Muslim Woman). The source used for this translation was the book Muhaadaraat fil-?Aqeedah wad-Da?wah, a large compilation of over 25 transcribed lectures from Shaikh Saalih Al-Fawzaan on issues of Creed and Methodology (vol. 3, pg. 281-299, Markaz Fajr, 2003 Edition)
In this particular lecture, Shaikh Saalih Al-Fawzaan covers many important topics related to women, such as veiling, being in privacy with male-strangers, traveling without a mahram and other things that are critical for a Muslim woman to understand and implement.
This treatise will be included as the fourth essay in the forthcoming second publication of the veiling book published by Al-Ibaanah Book Publishing, which will be entitled ?Four Essays on the Obligation of Veiling? by the Will of Allaah. May Allaah facilitate its publication.
EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOK:
"Both a man and a woman must cover their private parts with ample coverings, since this preserves morals. As for shamelessness and nudity, these are things that lead to the corruption of morality, the loss of honor, and the spreading of lewdness. But when the private parts are concealed with the covering that Allaah has instructed the men and women to abide by, this protects the private parts from fornication and homosexuality and it protects the private parts from the unlawful things that Allaah has prohibited."
"Allaah ordered that the women be asked from behind a Hijaab. What is meant by the word Hijaab is: Anything that covers a woman whether a garment, a wall, a door or any other object that can be used to screen a woman from a man when he is talking to her or asking her about something or handing her something. All of these should be done from behind a Hijaab, i.e. from behind a screen or covering. So he should not make any contact with her while she is unscreened or lacking covering and exposed. Rather, she must be behind a screen that covers her, regardless if it is her garment, her door, a wall or so on. This is since this is 'purer for your hearts and their hearts' from temptation. If women screen themselves by way of a Hijaab and the gaze of men does not fall upon them, the hearts of both the men and women will be saved from temptation and enticement. This is clearly visible in the Muslim societies that strictly adhere to the Hijaab."
"As for what we hear about today from some ignoramuses that a husband?s brother, paternal uncle or other male relative can greet his wife, shake her hand, be alone with her and enter into her presence ? this is baseless. It is not permissible for a non-mahram to enter into the presence of a woman (without Hijaab), nor to shake her hand, nor to be alone in privacy with her unless there is someone else in the house through which the privacy will be removed. But as for him entering into a house that has no one in it but her, and he is not one of her mahaarim, then this is the forbidden type of privacy and it is dangerous."
If a woman has a need to speak to a man that is not one of her mahaarim, she may speak to him, but with a casual tone that has no softness or gentleness in it and not in a joking or laughing manner. Rather, her speech must be ordinary and in accordance with what necessity dictates ? i.e. a question and an answer ? as per the need only. She must not speak in a tone that appears friendly, laughing or teasing, or in a mellow or beautified voice, thus stirring the desires of the one who has a disease in his heart. This is based on Allaah?s saying: 'But rather speak in an honorable manner.' [Surah Al-Ahzaab: 32]"

Advice to the Male-Guardians of Women
Shaikh Saalih Al-Fawzaan was asked: ?What is your advice to the male guardians of certain women that are lax when it comes to the issue of the Hijaab and who are engrossed in exposing their alluring bodily features to male-strangers in the markets and other places? What is the role of a woman?s male guardian in safeguarding her Religion??
So he replied: ?Allaah says: ?Men are the protectors and maintainers of women because Allaah has favored some of them (i.e. men) over others (women).? [Surah An-Nisaa: 34] Allaah has enabled and entrusted men to take care of and be responsible for women. And He commanded the women to obey Him and forbade them from disobeying Him. This includes the Hijaab.The Hijaab is one of Allaah?s commandments. So therefore it is an obligation on her male-guardian to require her to wear it, regardless is he is her direct male-guardian such as her father, son, brother or someone who has guardianship over her, or if he is the general guardian, such as the Muslim ruler who may mandate the Muslim women to wear the Hijaab.
So the Muslim ruler may oblige the women of his country to wear the Hijaab, in the general sense, while the male guardians in charge of households may oblige the women who live in their homes to wear the Hijaab (in the specific sense). They are responsible for these women. If the women knew that the general ruler in charge of her affairs as well as her specific male-guardian oblige her to obey Allaah and abandon disobeying Him, she would not put up any resistance in these matters. But when the male-guardians show laxity in these matters, the women become audacious. And there are callers to evil, lewdness, and hypocrisy behind them who encourage them to unveil and take off the Hijaab.
So the matter today is dangerous. It is incumbent upon a woman?s male guardians ? both the general and the specific ones ? to assist and aid one another in obliging the women to abide by the Hijaab. It is also an obligation upon the male guardians, may Allaah grant them correctness, to silence the tongues of those who invite to evil and corruption ? those who call to unveiling and to the removal of the Hijaab. This is what Allaah has entrusted them with.? [Ta?ammulaat fee Awaakhir Surat-il-Ahzaab: 47-48]
