I plan to begin wearing hijab very soon. I have a few questions about hijab that I am hoping you will be able to answer for me. My first question is about printed scarves. Is it okay to wear them as a hijab? I know that there are some sisters who say that it undermines the concept of modesty, which is the entire purpose of wearing hijab, but there are also sisters who argue that Allah (s.w.t.) loves all things that are beautiful, and that as such there should be no problem with a printed scarf. Also, there are no Islamic stores in my area so i have a great deal of trouble buying hijabs at regular retail stores. So what if I only wear a printed scarf for convenience purposes, and not with the intention of being attractive to men, etc? I am unsure of what the correct view is. Can you advise me about this?
Also, I am going on a vacation very soon and I will be visiting a theme park and going to the beach. I am very afraid of my scarf getting caught in a machine or flying off during a ride. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? I have no underscarf available to me, so that is not an option. Also, what can I wear to the beach? I plan to wear a loose, long sleeved tee-shirt and leggings-- is this sufficient? Obviously I don't want to wear a very nice scarf as the seawater would most likely ruin it. So what do you recommend I wear to cover my hair? Any advice you have on this matter would be appreciated.
Look at this man, I am not against anyone wearing such but obviously they must be tired of carrying it and obviously its hard to drive to walk in tight place and so on
its getting bigger & bigger as years pass, eventhough the scientific theories proves that human head is actually getting smaller

Amen Sister, I hope they didnt read this before otherwise its too sad story.
“There are two types of the people of Hell that I have not seen yet: men with whips like the tails of cattle, with which they strike the people, and women who are clothed yet naked, walking with an enticing gait, with something on their heads that looks like the humps of camels, leaning to one side. They will never enter Paradise or even smell its fragrance, although its fragrance can be detected from such and such a distance.” (Narrated by Ahmad and by Muslim in al-Saheeh).

I know in the UK it's the biggest craze going as of yet, the 'hump' style..which is totally ridiculous astagfirullah
Sometimes I wonder if they actually fix something along with their head to make it look big. I mean, even if we fold the longest, thickest hair, it won't be that big, will it?

Salam sister I hope you're doing fine. Here in ME this one is abundant and we knew what they are putting inside
the size varies
Infact many are like these, women with hijab but almost 3/4 of the hair is showing off.
Mentioned for educational purposes only, we hope not to offend anyone
not only that, u can say women with thick make up are just abundant everywhere in the mall
which cost them like 200$ each time they go to saloon
dont get me wrong, they are too beautiful, Arabs are too beautiful, but then they loose their beauties becoz of such thick make ups

Yes they use them flowery things, they wrap their hair in a bun, and put this clip flower on top and themn wrap their hijaab on top of it...hijaab has become a fashion accessory these days..so has wearing an abayah/jilbab.. the hadeeth 'Actions are judged by intentions'...really does come to mind here.

Salam Sister
I am a woman and I'm confident im normal, alhamdollelah, inshallah I will have normal mind till death
so speaking as normal woman forget about riana (lol)
i know and it is very clear to me that when i want to be extra beautiful, my intention is to grab someone's attention whether a man or woman (during non Muslim time & perhaps even now), i dont wear make up but sometimes i feel wearing make up, so i do it at home now that I'm muslim, a month ago, a Muslim sister told me "oh u look older bcoz u like dark clothes, in 1-3days i was trying to wear bright clothes but i came back to where I am comfortable lool"
now when I want to wear something new, maybe bcoz i am bored with wardrobe then that's something else
so normal is something and "extra or OVER" is something else.
salam

What I don't understand is, if those women put so much make up, how do they clean it all up for wudoo?
And do they re-apply the make up after shalah? it must be a hassle.

well the truth, most of them do not pray, this is fact, I lived here for 8yrs, I worked with them, I mean I observed them truly, i read news on daily basis,
If you know the "SHEERA" or "WAXING", 99% of Arab do full body waxing in Saloon, whereas, as Muslims we cant show our body to anyone except the husband or wife.

Seriously.... Even I think twice before wearing mascara. The days are going short, and everytime I wear it, I'll have to wash it off for the next prayer.

Salaam brother,
I imagine some of them do, but I consider it a waste of time. You would be surprised how many women need to apply a lot of makeup to think they are beautiful. It's so sad. I avoid wearing makeup for this reason-- there's nothing less attractive than runny mascara
I've seen women with enough makeup to make Bozo the Clown look normal. They sneeze and we have a nuclear winter because the dust blocks the sunlight for weeks.
I have been thinking about the hijab lately. I don't think I will be ready to wear it for a while, but I want to research it more. Does anyone have any good websites or books that talk about it? (History, reasons for women wearing it in Islam, etc)
Thank you!

May I ask how old you are? In Islam, a woman is considered a woman the day she starts her menses, as the Prophet Muhhammad (pbuh) did not sleep beside our beautiful mother of islam Aisha until after her menses started.If this is the case for you..you are a woman and capable of making your own decisions about hijab and its not your parents decision. In Hadith it say,"
"Ayesha (R) reported that Asmaa the daughter of Abu Bakr (R) came to the Messenger of Allah (S) while wearing thin clothing. He approached her and said: 'O Asmaa! When a girl reaches the menstrual age, it is not proper that anything should remain exposed except this and this. He pointed to the face and hands." (Abu Dawood)"
So Why Wear Hijab?
There are several reasons:
1)So that we may be recognized as a believer and not a non-believer (kufr).
2)So that we may not draw attention of the mens..and protect our modesty so that we not be harassed.
Surah Al-Ahzab (33:59) states: "O Prophet [PBUH] Tell thy wives and daughters and the believing women that they should put on their outer garments; that is most convenient in order that THEY MAY BE RECOGNIZED (as Muslims) and not be molested."
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 282:
Narrated Safiya bint Shaiba:
‘Aisha used to say: "When (the Verse): "They should draw their veils over their necks and bosoms," was revealed, (the ladies) cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their faces with the cut pieces."
3)For prayer..wudu and prayer not valid if a woman hair is not covered...
Narrated 'Aisha: The believing women covered with their veiling sheets used to attend the Fajr prayer with Allah's Apostle, and after finishing the prayer they would return to their home and nobody could recognize them because of darkness. (Book #10, Hadith #552) Sahih Bukhari
also about prayer..make sure u have your feet covered during prayer..wear socks..because it is not valid if feet not covered.
Oh no! I don't always cover my feet! I didn't realize that.... do none of my past prayers count?
Asalaamu Alaikum, My sister you just reverted very recently so you are not expected to know the A-Z fiqh of prayer straight away. Therefore you should ask of Allah to forgive you and you will find that he is most understanding.
Now that you are aware of this in order for your feet to be covered while you pray, you can wear socks that are not transparent or wear a very long skirt that would fall and gather over your feet, and not move such that it uncovers the feet during the movements of her prayer. So it would be better to wear socks so that there is no risk of long skirt uncovering feet during prayer.
Are you currently in touch with any sisters groups in your area or any practising sisters that you meet up with or learn from? If you have anymore questions or need any resources then please do not hesitate to ask.

Can you both give me any daleel(from quran and sunnah) that says that 'feet MUST be covered during prayer or your prayer's invalid?'
