Forehead

In human anatomy, the forehead is an area of the head bounded by three features, two of the skull and one of the scalp. The top of the forehead is marked by the hairline, the edge of the area where hair on the scalp grows. The bottom of the forehead is marked by the supraorbital ridge, the bone feature of the skull above the eyes.

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.

Narrations . Feet . Scholars . Forehead

Is it true that some narrations say that kissing a person's hands, feet or forehead is not permitted and that it is only for the Prophet or Imams? If so, why do we see our scholars permitting it?

The authentic Hadeeth in al-Kaafi encourages kissing the hands of the Prophet (SAWA) and his Holy Progeny and any one whose hands are kissed for the sake of them. No doubt, kissing the hands of your parents is very good and also the hands of pious scholars who are servants of Ahlul Bayt (AS) and the hands of any believer as far as this kissing his hand is for the sake of Allah and not for worldly matter.

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

We have narrations like this however some scholars do ta'wil of these narrations and state that if kissing someone's hand such as a righteous scholar, is done with the intention of glorifying Ahlul Bayt (as), then it is permitted. This is because many respect the righteous scholars due to them being those who spread Ahlul Bayt's (as) teachings, and there narrations from the imams (as) themselves emphasising on respecting the righteous ulema as well as keeping away from the evil ones.

May Allah grant you success
