In the name of Allah ,The Most Gracious,The Most Merciful
Asalaamu alaikum Sisters and Brothers in Islam,
We have often talked about growing beards…some people justify themselves by calling it only a sunnah.I am not sure that someone ever talked about the issue of women wearing hijjab in pakistan,or not.
Do you think that a woman should cover herself according to Islamic teachings and Scholars.If she should then,does pakistani media supports the idea of hijjab?
And if she should’nt then is’nt that hyppocracy…by name Muslim…by action kafir…
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
I think it is fardh for a woman to wear hijab,, but there is no point in wearing it if it is transparent or if she is wearing a hijab but tight clothing,.........here's sum evidence,.......
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment save to their own husbands or fathers or husbands' fathers, or their sons or their husbands' sons, or their brothers or their brothers' sons or sisters' sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack vigour, or children who know naught of women's nakedness. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn unto Allah together, O believers, in order that ye may succeed.}* (An-Nur 24:31)
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
Here's the actual definition of Hijab
Hijab is the proper Islamic dress code, which is primarily intended to safeguard the modesty, dignity and honor of men and women. By wearing Hijab, women protect themselves from any lustful gaze or act that may expose them to temptation or harassment of any kind. On the other hand, it protects men from indulgence in vices and unlawful acts.
Hijab does not only refer to head cover, but to the whole dressing of a woman. This means that there are certain requirements for a woman's dress to be Islamic: It must cover the whole body.
It must not be tight or transparent.
It must not delineate the parts of the body, especially those parts that are sexually attractive.
It must not be a dress that is usually worn by men. Hence, a Muslim woman is permitted to wear whatever she likes as long as her dress has all the legal requirements of a woman's Islamic dress code, and it covers the `awrah (sensitive parts of the body that a woman must cover in front of non-mahrams). This is agreed upon by all scholars and jurists.
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
Everyone has talked about hijab before. Do whatever you feel is right, teach ur daughters to do it, and why tehy should (if u feel they should) but dont force it on em, or anyone else and don't think or talk ill of any woman who doesnt wear a scarf. Not wearing a scarf is not the biggest sin in the world, dont' act like it is.Simple.
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
Thanks for the reply........
But I also asked about the doings of pakistani media in order to establish Islamic etiquettes .........
why the pakistani media is following western and hindu culture
"media reflects our culture or Media is trying to remove our Islamic identity"
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
Sorry sis if I offended you.......
I or inzi did'nt say that we should force the women to wear scarf .........and we did'nt say that those women who dont wear scarf are " "..........
"And Its not about that,that we should do whatever we want to,This is'nt Islam.This is "hedonism".To live only for ourselves not for Allah........
I am a woman myself.Its a command of Allah and his Messenger(saw) to cover ourselves.
And another thing Islam speaks about a man's hijab before speaking about a woman's hijjab.
"Say to the believing men that they should lower thier gaze and guard thier modesty:that will make for greater purity for them:and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do."(24:30)
Then it speaks about women's hijjab in(24:30)
Yes we can't force our daughters or anyone else to wear hijjab even we can't say to them in the presence of this Media.
The Media is the "mind bender".
As women we should cover ourselves.........Its an obligation.....wearing scarf is'nt an obligation.........you can cover yourself with chadar or something else better.You can't reveal your body except face and hands.Some women even cover thier face and hands.
At least you agree that not covering ourself is'nt a "big Sin"
its a "small sin"..........we should'nt think that any sin is a small.........
And those women who don't cover themselvs according to Islamic teachings they should'nt be worried because thier male mahram will be answerable To Allah in akhira for not taking care of his Female mahram.
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
I believe it could be better discussed here, as it's got more to do with Pakistan than the Islamic stance alone.
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
The girls on Pak tv are wearing less and less clothes these days. The odd thing is that the average Pak woman does not wear clothes that are shown to be worn on tv by the actresses.
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
Should women even be allowed on t.v. (with or without hijab) where men can look at them with their evil, lustful glances? :halo:
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
Pakistani media, Pakistani government etc..... are not "Islamic" and I don't think they wish to be either.
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
mehnaz - then one should not even bother leaving their house.. dont you think so?
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
Its just like in rest of the world, what you see on TV/movies is not necessarily a full reflection of their society.
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
Agreed. :p
Nia, there are people out there who think like that though, people who believe women should not even be t.v. in any form cause it's inappropriate and 'unislamic'.
Personally, I've seen the female journalists on GEO/ARY and I don't think there is anything objectionable about the way they are dressed or present the news. They are covered, they normally have the dupatta covering their chest, although not necessary their heads.
If we are going to look at it from an Islamic point of view, 98% of the dramas/music videos currently aired shouldn't even be shown on Pakistani t.v. For a lot of people, it's bad enough that the country is obsessed with Indian dramas shown on Star ... have you seen how their actresses dress? Tauba, tauba. :p
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
Hijjab is only the first step. Every Pakistani woman should be forced to ware a total head to toe burqa and it should be called abaya from now on.
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
and "expats" should be lashed 100 times for using the term "abaya" :p
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
you forgot that they should be washing mens feet when they come home and then drink that water. oh and cooking and cleaning and if they refuse to we should beat 'em with our chapal.
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
SubhanAllah!

I hope both your statements are jokes! Islam is never an oppressive regime ... If the media engine promote "goodness" then the culture will take a few years to adjust and goodness will become the norm. No Muslima will want to come out with half her clothes on. Therefore there is no need to force anyone. As for the term abaya it's only a word ... actions are more important aren't they?
Only 20 years ago Muslim women in Pakistan never used to step outside without their Burka/Abaya on ... I am testimony of this ... In such a short time frame there has been a massive change in the cultural mindset of Pakistan ... this is nothing short of a revolution, but unfortunately it is in the wrong moral direction ...
Re: Women in Hijjab in Pakistan
i dont understand girls who r wearing hijab but still show their hair from the front, im like whats the point, plus their wearing western clothes.
