Characteristics of the Female Hypocrites

His book Al-Munafiqoon (pg. 79-80) [The book is available in English]


1. Exposing Their Beauty

Tabarruj or exposing the feminine, physical beauty that is to be concealed from all the non-mahram [1] male population, and seeking to be a source of enticement and fitnah is a sign of Hypocrisy.


Tragic it is to see many women displaying themselves out in public as if they are pieces of meat selling themselves to the onlookers who want nothing more than to defile them.


The norm today is to find that the female physique has become the cheapest commodity that is displayed in the market place. In fact the female physique is seen as a tool to sell other products and services.


The woman who does not guard her modesty and does not draw the veil over her beauty, is a woman who is seeking to displease Allaah and His Messenger while showing love and obedience to the Devil and his Legions. Her deeds are the deeds of the unbelieving woman and her clothes are the clothes of the deviants even if she was to claim to have Eemaan (faith) and chastity.


Allaah says: “O Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover yourselves (screen your private parts) and as an adornment. And the raiment of righteousness, that is better. Such are among the Ayaat (signs) of Allaah, that they may remember (i.e. leave falsehood and follow truth).” [Surah Al-A‘raaf: 26]


The Messenger of Allaah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) warned the women by saying: “Those who make Tabarruj are the Munafiqaat (female Hypocrites).”

2. Al-Mukhtali‘aat: Women Who Ask Their Husbands For Divorce For No Reason


In the Hadeeth narrated by Ahmad, an-Nasaa'ee, and at-Tirmidhee on the authorities of Abu Hurairah and Thawbaan, Allaah's Messenger (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

“Al-Mukhtali‘aat are the female Hypocrites.” [2]

Khul‘ is defined by the scholars as being the same as removal of one's garment. This means when the woman seeks to remove (i.e. divorce) her husband from her. This understanding is taken from the words of Allaah:

“It is made lawful for you to have sexual relations with your wives on the nights of fasting. They are a Lîbaas [i.e. body cover or Garment] for you and you are a Libaas for them....” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 187]


The legal understanding of the term (khul') implies that a woman pay a man (her husband) a certain amount of money to end their marital union. If the money (property) is not exchanged then the khul‘ is incomplete and void.


On a whole, the process of khul‘ is sanctioned by Islamic law if done properly and asked for due to the right reasons. Valid reasons for khul‘ vary by circumstance, but in general a few valid reasons for seeking khul‘ are:


1. The husband is of a harsh temperament

2. He harms (abuses) his wife

3. The woman fears that by remaining with him, she will not establish the dictates of Allaah in what He has obligated on her, such as mutual love and companionship.


The khul‘ that is prohibited and earns a woman what we have described from the words of Allaah's Messenger (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) is that which is done without a valid religious, moral or proper reason. This type of khul‘ leads a woman to nifaaq (hypocrisy), because she scorns the laws of Allaah regarding mutual love and companionship.

JazakAllah for the share

Jazâkumullâhu khayr sisters.. Nice read..

Nice read, but I was wondering what is the case for one who accuses such women of nifaaq, I mean you see a lot of muslim women thses days dressing like that

As salaamu Alaykum,

That was very very beneficial Thanks sisters!! :rose:

ASlamuAlaykum,

thnkoo

I don't think that a woman should have to justify her reasoning for getting a divorce. She might have a personal reason. Maybe she just plain doesn't want to be with the man anymore. What's wrong with that? If a woman wants a divorce, then a woman wants a divorce! And she deserves that right. No need in unecessary misery.

I kind of agree, im guessing that by saying "divorcing for no reason" means that the woman doesnt like her husband anymore and is unhappy with him and will only get more unhappy with each passing day in which case isnt divorce better

^In that case she is allowed to have divorce and thats not with out a reason! lol thats a big reason!

true say sis cheese

jazakaAllah khar sisters

wasalaam

so why on earth would someone just have a divorce for no reason? theres no reason or logic there at all. How can a couple be completely happy one day and end up in a divorce the next... it makes no sense
