The Prophet Muhammad SAW and Women . ![]() The Obligatory Conditions for an Islamic Hijab In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful . (4)Hijaab Must Be Roomy, Flowing And Not Tight!! The Hijab is a safeguard against Fitna. If tight, it will be descriptive of the woman's body and this violates the purpose of Hijab. Usamma Bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "كَساني رسولً الله- صلى الله عليه وسلَّم- قُبطِيَّة كَثيفة مما أهداهَا له دِحية الكَلبي، فكَسَوتُها امرأتي، فقال "مالكَ لم تَلبِس القُبطيَّة؟" قلت: كَسَوتُها امرأتي، فقال: "مُرها فلَتجعَل تَحتَها غُلالة وهي شِعارٌ يُلبِس تحتَ الثوب فإني أخاف أن تَصِفَ حجمَ عِظامها" "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) dressed me with a thick Qubtyeeyah (cotton dress from Egypt) which was a gift that he received from Duhia Al-Kalbi. So I gave it to my wife to wear. He (PBUH) said : "What made you not to wear the Qubtyeeyah?" I said: "I dressed my wife with it. " He (PBUH) said: " Order her to put an undergarment (or gown) under it, because I am afraid it may describe the size of her bones.(3) (3) Reported by Ad'Diya' Al-Maqdissi, Imam Ahmed, At-Tabarani, Al-Baihaqi, and Ibin Sa'd. It is also reported that Al-Haithami said: "amongst the chain of narrators is Abdullah Ibin Aqeel whose narrations are good; yet according to some scholars there is Da'ff (weakness) associated with him, and that the rest of narrators are Thuqat (men of confidence regarding reporting). Ad-Dahabi said: " the level of Abdullah Ibin Aqeel's narration is not below the rating of "good" (In Meezan Al-I'tidal: Measure of Balanced (verifications); Arabic). (5)The Hijaab Must Not Be Perfumed With Incense!! The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "إيما امرأةٌ استَعطَرَت، فَمرَّت على قَومٍ لِيَجِدوا ريحها، فهي زانية" "Any woman who perfumes herself and passes by some people that they smell her scent, then she is a Zaniyah (prostitute).(4) (4) Narrated by Imam Ahmed, An-Nissa'ee, and Al-Hakim who said: "it has an authentic chain of narration" and Ad-Dahabi agreed. (6)The Hijaab Should Not Resemble Men's Dress!! The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "ليسَ مِنَّا من تَشَبَّهَ بالرَّجالِ منَ النَّساءِ، ولا مَن تَشَبَّهَ بالنَّساءِ من الرَّجالِ" "Women who assume the manners of men are not from us andalso those of men who assume the manners of women.(5) Abu-Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that: "لَعَنَ رسولً الله-صلى الله عليهِ وسلَّم-الرجل يلبس لبسة المرأة والمرأة تَلبَسُ لبسَة الرجل..." "The Prophet (PBUH) cursed the man who wears the dress of a woman and the woman who wears the dress of a man."(6) knowingly condones and facilitates the Zina for his wife."(7) (5) Reported by Imam Ahmed and Abu Na'eem. Al-Albani authenticated it in his book "Al-Hijab" (PP 66-67).(6) Narrated by Abu Dawoud, Ibin Majah, Al-Hakim, and Imam Ahmed. Al-Hakim said:" it is an authentic hadeeth in accordance with the conditions of (Imam) Muslim," and Ad-Dahabi agreed. It was also authenticated by Imam Al-Nawawee. (7) Narrated by An-Nissa'ee, Imam Ahmed, Ibin Khuzayemah, Ibin Hab'ban and authenticated by the scholar Ahmed Shakir. (7) The Hijaab Must Not Be Resemble The Garments Of The Kuffar!! The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "من تَشَبَّه بِقَومٍ فَهُوَ مِنهُم" "The one who takes the similitude (manner) of a certainpeople becomes one of them.(8) Abdullah bin Ummar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "وعن عبد الله بن عمرو- رضي الله عنهما قال: "رأى رسول الله- صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَليَّ ثوبيَّنِ مُعَصفَرَيْن، فقال: "إنَّ هذه من ثياب الكُفار، فلا تلبسها" "The Prophet (PBUH) saw me wearing two clothes dyed in saffron, whereupon he said: these are the clothes (usually worn) by the Kuffar, so do not wear them."(9) (8) Narrated by Abu Dawoud, Ahmed (as part of a another hadeeth), Ibin Taymeeyah said that the hadeeth has a good chain of narration (i.e. that reported by Abu Dawoud) and that it is a "good hadeeth"; As-Siyouti said :"it is "Hassan: Good" and Ibin Hag'er reported it in "Fath Al-Bari" and supported it with another evidence (a Murssal) with a good chain of narration. (9) Saheeh Muslim, V. 3, hadeeth # 5173 (8) The Hijaab Is Not For Fame!! |
