halal or haram ?

[Hamza Asadullah]

Asslamou Alaikoum Warahmatou ALLAH Taala Wabarakatou,

I really want to help my husband with finance because in european country everything is expensive and one person salary is not enough for living

I tried to do business but always i failed then i decide to have a permanant job but my husband didnt accept it because of the flirt people outside , Now the opportunity is to do some modelling pictures and get paid good without any problems because the cameraman is a woman and the work will be in the studio there is no men and no people to watch plus the clothes are respect then a good payment then i decide to take it , My heart want it but my mind didnt accept it yet because iam confused if it is halal or haram in the islam and i couldnt find any proof in the quran nor in the sunnah to make know that is haram please any advice plus i decide to do only some pictures and make money and stop it jazakoum ALLAH SWT kher

Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb sister, firstly can i ask what type of clothes are you going to be modelling? Will you be in your hijaab and jilbaab or what type of clothes? Will you have to wear makeup? Where will these pictures be shown? What company is it for?

 

[nilufer]

Is your husband okay with you taking the job?

Have you prayed Istikharah?

sister honestly no but i can try and convince him and may be taking him with me to meet them ,i didnt do istikharah yet but iam thinking to do it Jazaki allah swt KHER

 

[Asiyah3]

I'm also waiting for you to answer brother Hamza's questions. Will you be wearing jilbaab and hijaab? (Do you at the moment wear hijaab?)

Sister i dont wear hijab but i cover my hair and wear long clothes and also i will modelling with a long clothes for the company catalogues thats all

Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, Then sister you should certainly begin to wear hijaab and jilbaab in order to cover yourself properly as hijaab and jilbaab are the only ways to cover the body and head properly. Not doing so will obviously bring unwanted attention from men and also cause the anger of Allah because you are not taking full care and attention in covering yourself properly.

You are a jewel who's beauty should only be for your husband eyes and for no other soul.

What about wearing make up when going out? You did'nt answer my last post sister.

I dont really wear make up out side i make my self a bit natural

sister,

Catalogues can go anywhere. It's not just women that look at catalogues, but men too. If you are wearing just scarf and jilbaab, all sorts of men will look at your face, regardless of if you are wearing make up or not. Sometimes on the street you notice someone's staring at you, and you turn your face away. But in a catalogue, any sick person will be able to look at your picture in a catalogue and fantasise about you if they so wish. And you won't be able to escape from them, or move the picture from them. I am not saying that this will happen, but that can, on occassions, be a potential. For that reason, I think you should avoid this job, and go for some of the alternatives that people have suggested.

I am giving you the same advice I would give if you were my blood sister.

Allah knows best.

Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, Sister not wearing hijaab or jilbab means that you are exposing that which should not be exposed to anyone but your mahrams. By modelling you would be doing even worse by showing the whole world that which should be covered. So clearly it is forbidden for you to take this job. Rather you should concentrate on bettering yourself as Muslimah and increasing your imaan and fear of Allah which would lead you to wearing the hijaab and jilbaab inshallah. This would also significantly reduce the amount of unwanted attention that you get and since you are happily married this should be easier for you to do.

and Allah knows best

Sister,

A few points for you to bear in mind.

1) People may see you every day as you walk in the street, but would you then hand out photos of yourself to people on the street, including men? In effect thats the equivalent of you having your photograph in a catalogue. You shouldn't do it in a scarf and jilbaab, let alone without. You say you fear Allah, so don't do it. Allah will reward you, if He wills, with something better and halaal.

2) You said only women would be taking the pictures, but can you guarantee that no men will look at the catalogue? (see my post above for exactly what I mean by this)

3) I don't know of any modelling company that does not put make up on the models.

4) Consider some of the other options that people have suggested.

I know this is not an easy time for you, but trust in Allah and pray to Him to provide you with a means of living that does not displease Him. Also, explore other avenues. Make a real effort to see what other work you could do. May Allah ease your difficulties. Ameen. My du'aas are with you sister.

Sister suppose if i find an other job it will be same problem because nobody want to accept me with hijjab and covering hair so i have to put make up and wear modern clothes everyday and working with men and you cannot convince me that in any country even the muslims countries to give jobs to girls with hijjab so what about iam living in european country no way

Second in every muslim countries i saw so many girls wearing the hijjab and wearing the make up plus they wear jeans and thight clothes

Go to any islamic channel TV you will see all the presenters wearing the hijjab and puting so much make up and modern clothes they are also muslims but thats the way to make the money

 

[Raaina]

Is this just like a one of shoot? or a continuous contract?
If your husband doesn't want you to work and its just a one off, maybe you could explain its just once, there are no men and it'll help finacially, tell him you'll buy him a gift or something

Sister i already convinced my husband because he will be with me at the same day of taking the pictures and i will do only some temporary pictures thats all plus he knows i will be wearing long respect clothes plus it is a good money there and it will solve our finance problems but i was asking if it is halal or haram and some people here said it is haram and at same time iam confused because i saw so many muslims girls on the islamic channels working there as presenters wearing make up and modern clothes and they are presenting religion topics all the nations are watching them so really confused

 

[Raaina]

Oh i'm sorry sister, I must of missed that bit,

hmmm

I'm new so I dunno
Did you say you couldn't find anything in the Qu'ran about it being haram? maybe you could ask someone at a mosque?

 

[Insaanah]

Sister,

Sister suppose if i find an other job it will be same problem because nobody want to accept me with hijjab and covering hair so i have to put make up and wear modern clothes everyday

That is no justification for not wearing hijaab sister.

Also, modern clothes and make-up nowadays cost so much money and are very expensive. If you stop buying these, and look at other areas you can save money on, you might find lots inshaAllah.

and working with men and you cannot convince me that in any country even the muslims countries to give jobs to girls with hijjab so what about iam living in european country no way

I live in a European country too. Most of my friends have jobs. Most of them work in hijaab, some in a mixed environment. Wearing hijaab has never been an obstacle for them in the way of getting a job. In fact, people respect them for it, and ask them about Islam.

Second in every muslim countries i saw so many girls wearing the hijjab and wearing the make up plus they wear jeans and thight clothes

We don't take our deen from them. We take our deen from Rasoolullah sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam.

Go to any islamic channel TV you will see all the presenters wearing the hijjab and puting so much make up and modern clothes they are also muslims but thats the way to make the money

Firstly, they are not an example for us. The beautiful example for us is that of the azwaaj mutahharaat (radiallaahu 'anhunna). Many people think that if something's happening on an Islamic channel it's ok. It's not, if it's not in accordance with Qur'an and sunnah.

Secondly, that might be a way to make money, but its not the right way for a Muslim woman to make money. Think about wearing hijaab, think about other options, and also see what other ways you might be able to save money.

I can only advise you sincerely as I would my own sister. May Allah help you and ease your circumstances. Ameen.

Let me ask you a couple of questions: who's order and command is it for women to cover? By Who's will does a person to get any job?

If it is the command of Allah for women to cover then will you disobey him and go against his commands? Only by Allah's will does a person get any job, and do you think that not covering because other people don't approve of it is a good enough reason not to cover? Will you be able to say that to Allah on the day of judgement that you did not cover just because the non Muslims around you did'nt approve of it?

You mentioned before that you will repent one day for not covering, do you think Allah does not know your intentions? Do you think and that death may not take you at any second? Surely your way of thinking is the way shaythan wants you to think and he is misleading you.

I live in the UK and there are countless women who wear hijaab, jilbaab and even niqaab and they work in many different types of jobs because it is Allah's will that a person finds any job not the will of the employer because Allah can change the heart of any person and it is only by his will that any leaf falls from a tree. Always have bare this in mind

Go to any islamic channel TV you will see all the presenters wearing the hijjab and puting so much make up and modern clothes they are also muslims but thats the way to make the money

If a person wants to jump off a cliff will you join them? Similarly if a person is causing destruction upon themselves then will you also do the same and cause yourself destruction? Then why would you want to follow the path of those who causing themselves destruction?

Do you really think that this income will be halal for you? Do you want to consume haraam? Consuming haraam will cause your deeds and dua's not to be accepted and wil take blessings out of your life as well as causing further problems with your financial situation.

There is no solution in that which is haraam. Search for a solution in that which is halal even if it is more difficult. Abide by the commands of Allah and he will make things easier for you and know that there is no reason for you not to cover as you are married so you do not need to impress anyone and you know now that it is ONLY by the will of Allah that you will get any job then there is certainly no reason for you to cause the wrath and anger of Allah upon you for the curse of Allah is on those women who do not cover for that which they are ordained to cover and they will not smell the scent of paradise.

Advertising your awrah to the world is not haraam? Sister you are clearly being misled by shaythan. I would suggest that you ask any scholar and they will confirm this to you.
