Why cover hair in islam




















It must cover her entire body except for the face and hands; Hanafi scholars permit uncovering the feet. If a woman reaches menarche nothing should be seen [of her body] except this and this and he pointed to his face and hands" [reported by at-Tabarani. If a woman has reached puberty nothing should be seen of her body except this and this' and he pointed to his face and hands.

That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.

In fact, I myself used to argue the same position prior to embarking on a more detailed study of Islam. One of the arguments commonly used for such a position is that the verse does not specifically say to cover the hair but rather speaks of only covering the chest. A third argument is the assumption that the issue of women covering their hair is open to different interpretations and it is therefore a matter of valid scholarly disagreement whether it is an obligation or merely a recommendation.

None of the aforementioned arguments are strong. Covering the hair for a woman is a clear obligation in Islam and she will be sinful for abandoning the practice, unless there are extreme circumstances which warrant an exception to the general rule. It is very important for every Muslim to know the dress code that is required of them so they will be accurately practicing the teachings of Islam. It is important to understand that the word used only has the meaning of a headscarf, and not any other article of clothing.

It cannot refer to a scarf that is draped around the neck nor to a shawl that is used to cover other parts of the body.

For me, hair care is not just for people to see, but it is a part of my self-esteem. When my hair is properly taken care of, I feel beautiful regardless.

Just as we wax and do other hygienic care that no one sees, the same applies for me and my hair care. My aunt owned one and getting my hair done was lovely.

But trust and believe, this hair is laid under my hijab! Read more about the complicated relationships we have with our hair at My Hair, My Story. News U. Politics Joe Biden Congress Extremism.
