Very weird situation...
:salam:
You
do have a problem. A major problem that is likely to
never go away (shy hugs, innocent texts/conversations, and whatever other shy, innocent things that are likely going on as well).
Unless you and your wife read, reflect on, and
sincerely attempt to practice the following information.
Granted that Islam has truly become a strange thing and attempting to follow Islam in this day and age is like holding a burning coal (statements of our Prophet :saws:), doing so will completely solve your problem. Your predicament is truly illustrative of the truthfulness of our Prophet :saws:. The various instructions of Allah :swt1: and His Prophet :saws: are seen as strange, weird, extreme, and unreasonable
by people who profess to be Muslims - let alone non-Muslims. If Muslims themselves don't care, non-Muslims can't be blamed. It's our own fault.
The recommended information I have alluded to is in the form of a book titled:
Hijab: The Islamic Commandments of Hijab (click on the title to the left for a free PDF copy)
The author is a senior Shaykh and founder of
Darul Uloom Al-Madania and
Darul Uloom Canada - both being institutes of higher Islamic education in North America.
One thing that may stand out is the fact that the Islamic concept of Hijab
is not a headscarf and it has
nothing to do with personal freedom and feeling liberated. It's goal is to prevent
zina of any kind - which constrains a person in many ways. In authentic narrations the Prophet :saws: said that the world is a prison for a believer and paradise for a non-believer.
If you and your wife read, reflect on, and
sincerely attempt to practice the commandments of Hijab, I guarantee this particular problem will go away permanently and you will never have to worry about another man committing zina with your wife again (
again, there are many types).
