Is it permissible for Shia female scholars to publicly speak and upload videos viewed by non-Mahram men if they observe full Hijab and wear no makeup?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

In Pakistan, where mixed gatherings at weddings are common, is it permissible for girls to wear culturally embellished dresses and makeup while adhering to proper Hijab?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Muslim female is ordered by Allah in Quran not to show her beauty to outsiders (Non Mahram). Sura An-Noor, verse 31. This order is for every time and everywhere with no exception.

May cultural practices are not accepted by Shariah yet done by some people out of carelessness or other un Islamic reasons.

Is a Muslim woman considered to have sinned if she lives in an area where Hijab is banned but has no alternative but to remain there?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Muslim woman must perform full Hijab where ever she lives. If Hijab is banned in a country and she needs to go out of her house, she will be then required to move to another place where she can perform her duty in Hijab.

As an Indian, Hijab is prohibited at my school, so I do not wear it there. However, I desire to wear a Niqab in other places, which makes me feel hypocritical. What options do I have in this situation?
Amina Inloes

There is no Islamic problem in wearing niqab in some places but not others. However, sometimes there is a cultural idea or social pressure that someone who wears certain types of garments should not be seen differently. So you should decide what you feel is best for yourself. Sometimes an advantage of trying new clothing in some places is it gives us a chance to experiment with  it and see whether or not it is something we want later in life.
