say you wear a hijab out of the house but sometimes in dawats (where there’s usually msotly women )may just wear a dupatta
if a guys family was coming to see you should you wear a hijab or just dupatta?
the only real thing with wearing a hijab is thy wont really get to see how you look?
Re: dupatta or hijab?
why do you need to cover yourself in front of guy’s female family members? i don’t think you need to wear either hijab or dupata on your head. As for the guy, i am not sure what is the Islamic verdict on this.
Re: dupatta or hijab?
what if everyone is in the same room?
is there anything wrong with wearing a hijab in such a settng?
Re: dupatta or hijab?
There is no right or wrong answer to this. It depends on how strict you are about wearing the hijab. The girls I know that actually wear hijab on a daily basis don’t take it off in front of ANY men…including men who visit them for rishta purposes. If it’s a serious rishta that requests it, they will do it with the guy/guy’s mom/girl’s mom in a separate room, but the guy’s dad/brother or any other men in the family don’t get to see it.
Do you plan on wearing dupatta in front of your FIL/BIL and other male family members after the wedding? However you plan on presenting yourself AFTER the wedding to the male members of his family, that’s how you dress during the first meeting.
Hijab isn’t a niqab, they can clearly see how your face looks. If the guy or his mother wants to see your hair, they can request that and you can walk them into a separate room without the FIL or any other male members.
Re: dupatta or hijab?
You can invite the ladies in another room where you can sit without head covered.
there is nothing wrong in removing the hijab in presence of his male family members or in his presence but that’s what i think but as i said earlier i am not sure about what Islam says about it and if you are following the hijab religiously then you should get the Islamic perspective on this.
Re: dupatta or hijab?
Hijab is supposed to be taken in front of ALL non mahram males.

Sell them what they are buying. If they are moderate than dress accordingly. Are they looking for a girl or a garment? Choice of clothing is a basic right for humans.
Re: dupatta or hijab?
they don’t really wear a hijab. however i would like to after marriage and feel that maybe if i don’t in this setting i might give the impression that iam okay with not wearing it. i guess its probably best to wear it .
Re: dupatta or hijab?
Dressing according to the rulings of Hijaab is an obligation upon adult Muslim females and needs to be worn in front of all adult males (with a few exceptions) and this is between you and God. If that is how you dress normally then that is how you should dress. Your duty to God should come before how your potential rishta would like you to be dressed.
It is inevitably your choice but you should not never feel the need to dress in a certain manner due to other’s expectations.
Re: dupatta or hijab?
People like people who are like them, this world is full of aging stubborn singles. Many people will marry only hijabis and many won’t consider hijabis.
Re: dupatta or hijab?
Don’t mislead them into believing you’re someone else than who you truly are. This will cause you to marry someone who is not compatible with you and is the fastest road to unhappiness/potential divorce.
If you plan on wearing hijab on a daily basis after marriage including special events etc., then make sure the guy’s family knows that from day 1. And the best way to let them know that you’re serious is by wearing it in front of them from day 1. If they have a problem with it, then you and your family will know immediately that this is not the right rishta for you.
Re: dupatta or hijab?
Stick to what you’re comfortable with. I personally wore hijab at my rishta meetings.
I recall one potential MIL continuously complimenting my sisters hair (she doesn’t wear hijab) - that was kind of awkward but she didn’t ask to see mine. I’d find it kind of awkward having to sit there and remove my hijab for a woman to just see my hair.. Like what is she going to do, make a decision based on how my hair looks.. hmm
