sos didn't know that. I think in the current climate in our country, it's gonna be harder for sisters to fully cover the face. For example all it'll take is for a suicide bomber to dress fully covered to blow himself up and a whole can of worms will be unopened. Hey root can you tell us why you think it's "unatural" and "non-fitting" in Britain please?
 
oh.. niqaab could be a madhab thing.. i guess. but not everyone even follows a madhab though anyway. i think its more of personal understanding of the deen and research one does regarding the veiling of the sahabiyaat
 
this is outrageous!

Ok I am confused with some terms.What does niqaab mean?And also isn't the hijab concept kind of compulsory for Muslim women?

And what does that man mean blend in with the crowd?This is apostacy ofcourse.

Never heard of such thing as British Culture.I thought UK allowed freedom in dress code,etc.

It would have been less surprising if it was a non-Muslim leader but a MUSLIM!

any prophecy has come true?

bro niqab is which covers the face of the sister and the hijab is the headscarf that should be worn. And i think it would be beter if all muslims started to at least focus more in Islam again and that way we could show we all together on the same side and prepared not to give up what Islam tells us to do.
 
there we go.. hijab isnt a headscarf akh. hijab is what fully veils the entire body, just not the hair.

islamic dresscode is focusing on islam and if we dont come to understand how a muslim merely dresses [which is for the protection of our own selves] then how will we come to properly communicate with others?
 
but is there anyone who agrees that the sisters in the UK should remove their hijab because of the recent events ?
 
NooralHaya - UNNATURAL? the prophet's [sallallahu alayhi wasallam] wives practiced this, how could you say its UNNATURAL?

I personally call it unatural because of mans greatest tool communication:

Whether subtle or intense, facial expressions are the key to how we identify human emotion.

In addition, facial recognition plays a very important role to us all wether or not you may acknowledge this. Sub-conciously we use face recognition to build trust & not lust.

As humans we tend to use facial recognition in two modes, people who resemble us are taken as friends and we are quicker to trust them. However, at the same time we find face resemblence unattractive which supports the notion that instinctly we avoid family traits and thus avoid the costs of inbreeding:

Men with feminine faces will be luckier in love as most women are attracted to them rather than masculine men,

and what do you mean british culture? who cares about british culture

The British care.

its about following islam. wearing the hijab isnt part of the british culture either. i think if someone decides to live somewhere other than an islamic country, they should be well aware that doesnt excuse them from following what Allah ta'ala has commanded them to do

As I said, I don't see anything wrong with wearing an Hijab but I fail to see why one needs to cover ones full face. Some cultures in the world today see women not covering up other than genitalia including women (excluding breasts), yet your culture and my culture (I make a destinction) because you have, would not look positively to people walking around naked. What of British Culture if we declared "open season" for cultures to practice their culture in full. Let's turn a blind eye to the children physically abused by African Adults due to suspected demon posession, afterall it is their culture and thus they should be free to exercise it......... Surely your position is madness

so you're saying that one shouldnt follow Allah ta'alas orders to lower their gaze then as well? if it seems so important to use the face to tell how a person may "feel" or what not. when communicating between the 2 genders [which should be rare] whys it essetial to know the emotion of the person? you say what you have to say and go on with your life. i agree that certain things in culture shouldnt be practiced, but NIQAAB IS NOT CULTURE AKHI ITS RELIGION.

The guy in the article said 'women should remove the veil'. To me, the 'veil' means the niqaab rather than the hijab.

About blending in, we are taught as Muslims to blend in - i.e. by not wearing bright colours or styles that attract attention to ourselves. However, we are not taught to blend in to such an extent that we lose our own way of life.

Maybe the author misinterpeted the man's remarks (like half the people in this thread :p)

Seriously, I'm sure a Muslim leader wouldn't urge women to remove their hijabs.

salams :sister:[content removed].I don't understand the reason why they're so scared of Bush and Tony Blair.If Allah is with you a 100% then why be scared of the enemy.Like before one guy said that Christianity is men without a religion, and Islam is a religion without man.Beginning to see his point.

Salaam dear sister,


In my personal opinion if they actually tell us to take off the hijab or niquab, then they are not faithful muslims. Instead they are following the non-muslim ideology that women should take off the hijab because they just want us to dress normal like any other man or woman walking down the street. If they want this to happen to us, then why do they call themselves muslims for? They have a different ideology then us, they are practically following the non-muslim ideology which is a shame. Instead of using the constitution " freedom of religion" they are implying that muslim women should not be able to encounter freedom of religion in this society which is a shame. that shouldn't give a hoot in hell about our safety by taking off the hijab if anything they are supposed to encourage us to leave it on. Instead they are follwoing the other "non muslim" ideology, and wait- they are supposed to be leaders..not FOLLOWERS. So what kind of request is this to take off the hijab or niquab? Just as long as Allah(swt) made it an obligation for us to wear hijab we MUST remain wearing hijab we cannot follow a man's order.

:sister: Nooral Haya where in the religion does it say that the niqaab is obligatory for a women to wear.Even scholors are going crazy on each other because of this issue. Some Mujtahid-Imams from the mazahib have taken this view. Another Islamic opinion is that veil has not been made compulsory for women in Islam and that their face do not have to be covered under any circumstance. This view has also been held by some Mujtahid-Imams from amongst the mazahib.

I agree 100% Shukri, as a matter of fact there is no where in the quran where it says that niquab is mandatory it is on the basis of one's own will to wear it or not.
