Hijab

A hijab (Arabic: حجاب‎ ḥijāb) in common English usage is a veil worn by some Muslim women in the presence of any male outside of their immediate family, which usually covers the head and chest. The term can refer to any head, face, or body covering worn by Muslim women that conforms to Islamic standards of modesty.

Women . Heaven . Hijab . Man . Friendship

Can men and women be friends in heaven, or is it still prohibited? If so, would women still be required to wear Hijab in heaven?

Paradise is the place of every good act and every noble thought as Allah mentioned in Quran that all ill feelings will be removed away from the chests of people of Paradise (Al-A'raaf, verse 43 and Al-Hijr, verse 47).

Friendship between man and woman who is not Mahram to him will not be imagined in Paradise and no one in Paradise will think about it because it is not a noble thought. Women with out Hijab is also not a noble thought so no woman in Paradise will think about about it.

Ear . Head . Hijab . Plastic Surgery

I have an upcoming ear surgery for which it is necessary for me to refrain from wearing anything on my head during the procedure. Would it be considered allowed for me to completely remove my Hijab due to this necessary requirement?

If it is a necessary procedure, and you have no control over the medical staff all being females, then you are allowed to undergo the surgery. Just try to ask the nurse or an accompanying family member to try and cover you as much as they can.

May Allah ta'ala grant you shifa` and speedy recovery.

Hijab . Employment

I work as a teacher in France, where removing the Hijab is a requirement for teachers. In this case, would my salary be considered allowed since I am being paid for my teaching skills rather than my physical appearance?

You as a Muslim female is responsible to obey the rules of Allah including wearing full Hijab where ever you can be seen by any non Mahram (outsider) man. This responsibility is more important than doing any specific job which prevents you from obeying Allah, as far as there are other jobs which don't prevent you.

If you teach in a girls school where no man can see you with out Hijab, then it is permissible because you don't need to wear Hijab among females, but you must be sure that no man at all can see you with out Hijab.

If the job exposes you to men and forces you not to wear Hijab, you should look for another job which does not prevent you from obeying Allah (SWT).

Hair . Iftar . Hijab . Adhan . Du'a (Supplication) . Woman

Is covering your hair with a scarf when you hear the Azan or when making Dua at the time of Iftar necessary for a Muslim female, or is it an innovation?

Bismihi ta'ala

There is no shar'i basis for this, and it is not necessary at all.

And Allah knows best.

Women . Hijab . Paradise

Will women have to observe Hijab in paradise as well? If so, why is that if paradise is not a place of duty but a reward?

Bismihi ta'ala

Heaven is a place of reward and bliss. There is no taklif in Heaven. There are no ahkam, or rulings or laws. Women or men do not need to observe mandatory laws that are only legislated for us here in this dunya.

We just need to make sure we perform our duties in the best way possible, so that we are fortunate and blessed to end up in the everlasting abode of Heaven, in shaa Allah.

And Allah knows best.

Hair . Scalp . Hijab . Conversion to Islam . Wudu (Ablution)

As a Muslim revert, how can I manage the excessive production of oil in my hair caused by wetting my scalp during Wudu, especially since I cannot wear a Hijab outside or wash my hair more than twice a week?

Amina Inloes, Amina Inloes is originally from the US and has a PhD in Islamic Studies from the University of Exeter on Shi'a hadith. She is the program leader for the MA Islamic Studies program at the... Answer updated 3 anni fa

Often, the production of hair oil adjusts naturally over a few months to a change in hair routine. So, possibly, your hair will adjust by itself.

In the meantime, I suggest using the minimum water and doing the minimum necessary amount of washing for wudu (rather than anything extra/mustahhab).

This will vary between schools of thought. For instance, the 4 Sunni schools of thought require wiping the entire head (but have some minor differences regarding wudu between each other). The Twelver Shi'i school of thought requires wiping a quarter of the head with 1-3 fingers by using the remaining water from wudu (not taking extra water).

Historically, most people did not wash their hair daily, and certainly did not have access to commercially produced shampoos, so, in and of itself, performing wudu regularly does not usually require people to wash their hair more frequently (although individual circumstances vary).

This is venturing outside the scope of responses offered here, but you could look into advice online by people starting the "no shampoo (no 'poo)" routine in reducing oiliness. Possibly dry shampoo might be helpful. Of course you have to decide what is best for yourself, your health, and your circumstances.

Lastly... doing wudu doesn't usually make people's hair oily. It is possible that this is happening for yourself, since everyone is different. However, if you haven't already, you could look into other causes, such as hormones, stress, diet, or an underlying health condition. If you have recently converted to Islam, this could be an underlying stressor, if it has come with shifts in your life or challenges.

Best wishes!

Women . Wedding . Hijab

Do women need to cover heads in a party or wedding where only women are present?

Bismihi ta'ala

If it is a women only event, and there are no men or baligh males, then you do not need to observe hijab. Of course, in this age, you must make sure if someone is recording, you trust they will not share it in public.

And Allah knows best.

Hair . Hijab . Forehead . Scholars

Is it compulsory to cover all the hair when we wear Hijab or can we let some hair fall loose on our forehead? Are there different views on this matter according to the Shia scholars?

Wearing full Hijab means covering all your hair and body except your face and hands. Leaving hair show with out covering it will invalidate the Prayer.
