The BBC are conducting a poll on their website to ban the HIJAB and NIQAAB in british schools.

The poll asks:Should the veil be banned in schools?
Please support our sisters in Britain by voting

As-Salam-o-aliekum,

I think that security is possibly a valid concern. I thought that I might ask (to help "moderate" Muslims vote more readily), does a finger print identification machine cost less than a x-ray checking machine? I think some schools in America have x-ray checking machines; they shouldn't have a clear reason to check the face for security.

Is this worthy of the world affairs section; can we link to this thread in one of its threads (that deals with the veil)?

I will vote NO as well......I am a Christian but my wife wears something similar to a Hijab in the church, We don't call it a hijab. But if they ban it for any reason anywhere else it will go all over.

It is a womans religious and God given (and required by God) right to cover themselves, and show modesty.

I will NOT let any law:heated:, prevent my wife from covering herself!

This may be more focused on Islam, and or Muslim women but I'm supporting this one all the way!

We .......Orthadox type Christians or conservative and traditional Christians, still try to uphold the teachings of the Bible correctly. And this is in our Bible as well. (women coverd)

God bless.

I would say good luck, but i don't believe in luck, God provides what will happen.

Hijabs are headscarves, which cover the hair. A niqaab, or veil, may be worn in addition. The veil covers the face.

Bullying and chewing gum? I doubt it. For theft yes.

Only a minority wear the Niqaab, the probability of someone wearing the Niqaab and committing a crime is very low. There has only been 3 or 4 cases involving the niqaab.

If people are really worried about crime, you might as well implement the criminal jurisdiction of Islam, that will tackle the source of all crime.

If there is genuine suspicion that a women with niqaab has stolen anything then she may be searched by a female police officer just like any other women would, there is no issue there. But how can that be a reason to ban niqaab? Will turbans be banned for Sikh men because of the issue of theft incase he hid anything under his turban? That is an absurd statement to make to say the least.

It is well versed that women can wear the Niqaab. The Niqaab helps the women, instead of people judging her on how she looks, she'll be judged upon what she says.

:wa:

Its called a Kirpan, a dagger.

Canada was about to ban kirpan, a dagger that Sikhs carry back in 2002, however it was not seen as a dangerous weapon because on religious grounds. Canada supports Sikhs carrying the Kirpan.

Careful not to generalise, yes women are expected to obey the husband but in some cultures women are not informed of their rights, for example how the husband is expected to financially support her.

In some cultures, people do exploit the rights they are given by the Sharia...

Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, There are two valid view points on the hijab. One view held by the Ullima is that the niqaab (covering the face) is wajib (compulsory) and other Ullima hold the view it is Mustahab (recommended and the best thing to do but not compulsory). So how can you things like "I don't see any reason why they should wear it"?

You should understand that the Niqaab is from the Quraan and Hadith and even if you hold the view of it not being wajib it is still THE BEST thing and recommended and anyone who wears it is to be respected. Anyone who discourages the wearing of Niqaab or denies it being in Islam or makes fun of someone who wears it they should fear ALLAH for making a mockery of his deen. Before making such erroneous statements please look into the subject in more detail because it is clear you have insufficient knowledge of where niqaab stands in Islam. It is a most beautiful thing and we as Muslims must support it and not make such heretical statements which clearly go against the Qur'an, sunnah and the ijma(consensus) of the scholars of Islam.

And ALLAH (swt) knows best.

We should not attempt to conceal this reality, we all know that there are many many Muslim men who are abusing their wives. The worst kind of hypocrites are those who abuse Islamic teachings for their own personal satisfaction.

This applies to both men and women. There is good and bad everywhere. These generalisations have no weight or substance.

Not concealing it, I'm showing you the source of the problem. People do exploit the Sharia and take verses out of context. Education about Islam is ridiculously low amongst some Muslims in my area.

Now there are approximately a billion Muslims across the world from different backgrounds, that is why I stated be careful not to generalise. If you have statistics then I would like to see it.

Now we have problems forced marriage problems, acid burning in Bangladesh and so on. Not denying there are problems.

Yes there are scholars who go against the teachings of the Qur'an however it does not change the fact that the Niqaab is well versed in the Qur'an and the Hadiths.

brother you should be very careful what you say when talking bout the religion of Allah swt and what our beloved prophet saw has revealed to us through hadith evidence. its one of the main reasons why many sisters wear niqaab because the wives of the prophet saw never came infront of any other strange man

Yeah sure "Allahumma" basically means "Oh Allah...". It is a more grammatically correct way of saying "Ya Allah". We say it a lot in supplication so as to show meekness and humility, calling upon our lord, completely submitting to him and asking of him to accept it from us. For Allah loves those who humble themselves in front of him supplicating to him with complete submissiveness for supplication is the weapon of the believer and it is a very powerful weapon and more powerful than we can ever imagine.

No, they must always obey God first...

And for their imaan being "higher";

Three men went to Prophet Muhammad once and wanted to express their sincerity. The first man said, "I will fast everyday and never eat during the day again." The second one said, "I will remain celibate to worship God for the rest of my life." And the third one proclaimed, "I will pray all night every night and never sleep again."The Prophet was not impressed with their zeal. He told them, "I am the Prophet of God, and I eat and fast, I also marry and sleep at night. Whoever does not follow my path is not one of my followers."The message from the prophet is that faith should be practiced in moderation. The Prophet warned his followers against religious extremism in all its aspects.


Never obey your husband when he is oppressing you, and doing things that are unIslamic...

asking your wife to wear niqaab isn't unislamic brother and it's not extremism if it was the prophet peace be upon him would have forbidden the women from wearing it, but the fact is he didn't, there's 2 opinions on it, one is that it's obligatory upon the women to veil her face, and the other is it's preferred that she covers her face. so to say it's something unislamic or not required is incorrect.

Imaam Malik's MUWATTA Book 20 Hadith # 20.5.16
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that Fatima bint al-Mundhir (Radhiallaahu Ánha) said, "We used to veil our faces when we were in Ihram in the company of Asma bint Abi Bakr As-Siddiq (Radhiallaahu Ánha). "This again proves that not only the wives of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) wore the Niqaab and that even though in Ihram women are not supposed to wear Niqaab but if men are there they still have to cover the face.

Abu Dawood Book 14, Hadith # 2482
Narrated Thabit ibn Qays (Radhiallaahu Ánhu): A woman called Umm Khallad came to the Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) while she was veiled. She was searching for her son who had been killed (in the battle) Some of the Companions of the Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said to her: You have come here asking for your son while veiling your face? She said: If I am afflicted with the loss of my son, I shall not suffer the loss of my modesty. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said: You will get the reward of two martyrs for your son. She asked: Why is that so, oh Prophet of Allah? He replied: Because the people of the Book have killed him.


Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 7, Book 72, Hadith # 715
Narrated 'Ikrima (Radhiallaahu Ánhu) narrates "Rifa'a divorced his wife whereupon 'AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. 'Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil." It is a very long hadith but the point is the women of Sahaba wore the full veil.


there's much more evidence than this however this is satifactory I believe. there's numerous narrations that proove the women of the sahaba wore the veil over their faces.
