Have you ever seen such couples? What do you think of them?
The other day I saw a woman fully covered wearing big woollen cardi and everything and just leaving the hands and face open with her husband who was in T and shorts, I thought other people specially the non-muslims would see this as oppression.
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
^ Yeah ... You should have told that woman to buy more clothes for her oppressed husband ... ! LOL
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
^this is not what you said when you saw them.
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
it could mean may be the lady is more practicing
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
^ exactly
why should they care about what other people might be thinking? If someone does, muslim or non-muslim, automatically assume it's oppression then there's something wrong with themselves and not the couple.
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
^not really. you need to understand the behaviour of a society you live in, in Western countries they will look at this as an oppression on women.

Could be, maybe she was cold and he was warm?
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
If you care what others think or not it comes off as oppression to non-Muslims.
But thinking about it, I have never seen a molvi type guy strolling with a moderate type of a woman. Interesting!

I have, couple of times.
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
Okay, this bothers me actually.
When a woman has to cover up completely and her husband can waltz around in a pair of shorts, take off his shirt on the beach, etc.
Is that fair? NO!
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
Is there a possibility that the women likes to dress conservative and the guy doesnt and they let each other be?
Is that fair? YES!
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
ive seen hijabis on the beach with husbands in shorts lol. i agree it probably does give a bad impression to the non muslims who are already sure that muslim women are oppressed.

Oh god, thats not the point. Its not always about a relationship problem or oppression or blah blah.
It just means its so not fair when its 100 degrees outside and she has to wear hijab and he gets to parade around in shorts.
Thats all.
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
Were the shorts below knee length?
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
It is unfair only if the wife didn't want to cover up but the husband *made *her do so while he walked around in chaddis.
But there's absolutely nothing wrong with it if the wife herself chose to dress that way. We're all responsible for our own actions and no one else's. Allah mian isn't going to ask the lady why her husband wasn't observing the prescribed male hijab. The husband is going to have to answer that himself.
However, the men have a **duty **to advice (not force) their daughters, wives etc about hijab and if they fail to do so, they will be held somewhat accountable.... which is why most religious muslim men usually ask their wives to cover up in public.
As for what non-muslims think, phuleezz, even muslims refusing to drink alcohol is oppression to the non-muslims. ¬¬
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
Not all women are like that, some do allow proportionate amount of clothing for their husbands. That guy was unlucky.
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
How can we call what God allows unfair or oppression???
Re: fully covered wife and husband in shorts in summer
Are you suggesting that women would still take off shirts?! astagfaar -phoonks fatwa-
