Is wearing a scrunchie under a Hijab to add more volume considered allowed according to Islamic teachings?
Amina Inloes

Within the Sunni hadith collections, there is a narration condemning women who have hair that looks like a camel hump. So, some Sunni Muslims today interpret this to mean that one should not wear a big scrunchie.

Whether or not one acts on that hadith and whether one interprets it to mean this hijab-style, is a personal decision. Apart from that, hijab-style is also a personal decision.
As a final year Journalism student with good videography skills, I am having trouble finding a suitable job. News companies typically use music and feature non-Hijabi women. What should I do?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Trust Allah and be sure that He will never let you down. Never try taking a job which contains sinful act. Keep on searching for a clean lawful job. Allah Has all the Powers to get you a lawful job. Never lose hope.

My mother threatens me that she will not allow me to go anywhere but school if I don't wear the Hijab. Is she allowed to do this in Islam?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Your mother is concerned about your life and your future in this life and hereafter. She wants you to obey your Creator Who Created you and Who is looking after you in every moment. We don't enforce religion on others, but you need to understand and submit to the will of Allah on every Muslim female to wear Hijab. You question whether the action of your mother is allowed in Islam, leads me to ask you frankly: If you are really concerned about what is allowed or not allowed, then ask yourself : is it allowed in Islam for a female to go out with out Hijab?

It is very difficult to find a male barber in my small town and almost all barbers there are women. Is it okay if a woman cuts my hair when I don't have any sense of attraction to them at all?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is not allowed for a Muslim male to let a female (Non-Mahram) to touch any part of his body or hair, even if there is no sense of attraction.

Wassalam.
