Is it permissible to prohibit women who are not covered in the proper islaamic covering from entering the masjid ? (after they have been given the proper naseeha) Please advise the daleel.
Jazzakallahu khayrun
Praise be to Allaah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon him after whom there is no Prophet.
If a woman comes to the mosque wearing improper hijab, then according to Islam she should be advised and have explained to her – with the daleel or proof – the fact that hijab is obligatory, and the seriousness of neglecting it. If she then complies, then praise be to Allah. If she does not comply, then do not let her enter, because of the fitnah (temptation) and evil involved in her actions. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Any woman who has put on bukhoor (incense, fragrance) should not attend this ‘Isha’ prayer with us.” (Reported by Muslim, 675). And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said concerning women’s going out to the mosque: “Let them go out unperfumed” (reported by Abu Dawood, 478), i.e., not wearing any perfume. Women have to go out wearing complete Islamic hijab, and not wearing adornment or perfume. And Allaah knows best.
2. Her passport picture is without hijab – can she travel with it?
It is known that it is a must to put a personal photo on the passport. My problem is that my picture on the passport is without hejaab; as I was young when I got the passport done. My father has renewed my passport but did not change the picture, and when I asked for the picture to be changed, I was told that it can not be changed so long as it is valid. It will become invalid in one year, I fear travelling like this but my father loves to travel and he will force me to travel with him. Enlighten me please my Allah guide you!.
Praise be to Allaah.
The fact that you do not want men to see your picture without hijab indicates that Allaah has blessed you with faith and modesty. This is how a Muslim girl should be, keen to observe hijab, cover herself and be chaste. May Allaah increase you in steadfastness and faith.
Your father should understand that you are keen to cover yourself, and he should appreciate that, and not force you to travel now, because you do not have the right to enable men to see your picture unnecessarily. But if he insists and forces you to travel and you cannot stay behind, then you may destroy the passport so that you can apply for another. If that is not possible, then there is no sin on you for travelling with your father.
But if the picture of you was taken before you reached puberty, then the matter is easy, because hijab was not obligatory for you at that time.
And Allaah knows best.
3. Sitting with non-mahrams in complete hijab
Must a woman wear jilbab in the house in front of non-mahrams such as brother in laws or can she wear loose fitting clothes and head scarf?.
Praise be to Allaah.
What Allaah has enjoined on women is to conceal their whole bodies from non-mahrams, including the face and hands. The clothing should be loose and not show the shape of any part of the body, and it should not provoke desire.
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
It is permissible for a woman to sit with her husband’s brother or cousins etc., so long as she is wearing proper Islamic hijab, covering her face, hair and all of her body, because she is ‘awrah and a source of temptation, and so long as there is nothing suspect about this sitting with them, and she is not sitting alone with any one of them.
With regard to sitting alone with one of them, or in a suspicious manner, that is not permissible.
It is more important that a woman should observe hijab in front of her husband’s relatives such as his brothers, because the husband’s relatives can enter upon her and sit with her without anyone denouncing that, then that may lead to regrettable consequences. See question no. 12837.
4. What is the age at which a woman should observe hijab in front of a boy?
What is the age at which a woman should observe hijab from a boy – is it when he reaches the age of discernment or when he reaches the age of puberty?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Allaah says in the passage where He speaks of those to whom it is permissible to show one’s adornments (interpretation of the meaning):
“…or small children who have no sense of feminine sex”
[al-Noor 24:31]
If a child shows some awareness of a woman’s ‘awrah and starts to look at her and talk to her a great deal, then it is not permissible for a woman to uncover in front of him.
This varies from one boy to another in terms of natural disposition and in terms of the company that he keeps. A boy may have a greater interest in women if he sits with people who talk about them a great deal, and if it were not for that he would not be particularly interested in them.
What matters is that Allaah has set the guidelines for this matter when He said (interpretation of the meaning):
“…or small children who have no sense of feminine sex”
[al-Noor 24:31]
i.e., these are among the ones in front of whom it is permissible for a woman to show her adornments, if they have no interest in women.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him), Majmoo’at As’ilah tahumm al-Usrah al-Muslimah, p. 148
Among the things which indicate that a child has started to be aware of a woman’s ‘awrah are the following:
- He describes women to others
- He can distinguish between a beautiful woman and an ugly one
- He compares the way women look
- He stares at women for a long time
Undoubtedly movies and soap operas, as well as social corruption, lead to children being aware of women’s ‘awrahs at an early age, so we have to be very careful. We ask Allaah to keep us safe and sound.
Shaykh Muhammad Saalih al-Munajjid
