What about scarves/hijabs....?

Question

Muslim women are supposed to dress modestly, wear a scarf (hijab), and wear loose-fitting clothing. What do you think of Muslim girls who do wear a scarf w/loose-fitting clothing? How about a scarf w/tight clothes?? What is ur impression of each one?? Please dont make any rude comments, this is a serious question and I want serious answers.

Answer 1

It was originally intended for ALL women to wear hijabs. Not because they are being controlled. It is to keep other men from gauking at you. Sex is what turned the world wrong. If more women would just simply say "No" to pre-marrital sex, we wouldn't be objectified. We don't have to give our bodies to men just because they tell us they love us. Women should be able to say, "That's good you love me, now prove it!" Not all men are like that. But since the beginning of time, men have figured to tell a women what she wants to hear to get what he wants from her, than he bounces. Sound familiar ladies?

Answer 2

Hi A Being,
This is a great question because even though
I'm not Muslim I've always thought that the Muslim girls are very beautiful. (I guess it's a religuous reason for the scarf, right? I don't really know.) But the tight clothes do make a women look more feminine and modern. Of course I think that the "style" of the clothes is going to make all the difference (more than if they're loose or tight).
Anyway, thanks for asking a good one.
by the way...
Will U Pleez pick my answer as the best. U R very sweet.
Thin-Q vry mch!

Answer 3

I was raised Muslim, but am no longer religious (agnostic/atheist), so I can speak from some personal experience, having donned the hijab at one point for about nine months.

The confusion about why some women wear hijab in different combinations is less of a religious question, as opposed to cultural (the lines between religion and culture are easily blurred).

I used to look at Muslim women who wear scarves with gobs of makeup, in elaborate wraps, with showy clothing as hypocrites. But that is not the case - each combination thereof, are reflections less of religious impression than that of cultural.

The hijab itself is a cultural reflection of modesty, whose roots extend far beyond Quranic revelation, and mostly reflective of regional developements of what is considered "modest" - including both male and female requirements.

Answer 4

I think it is unfair for any Muslim woman whatever her age to be covered in the first place.Now this is my own opinion and many would disagree with my viewpoint. Having said that it doesnt matter to me if one wears a head scarf with loose clothing or tight fitting attire...as it is still unnecessary,unhealthy and pure subjugation of women whilst the men can wear anything they damn like!!.

I live in a country where the head scarf has become fashionable rather than for pure religious reasons. This sickens me as this is religious bigotry - double standards. Its no better than making all the women/housewives/girlfriends looking and acting like the "stepford wives"!!!.

Summary:

I think women shouldnt be wearing head scarfs ( known as the tudong in Malaysia ) or dressed completely from head to toe to "please their men " or what they call " following the requirements revealed in the Holy Quran " cos they, their men and muslim society as a whole ( particularly in Malaysia ) have got it all wrong.

What happened to all human beings being equal in God's eyes???!

Answer 5

If a Muslim woman chooses to wear tight clothing with her hijab, she is committing a sin, and will be punished for it on judgment day. I don't think the tight clothes are worth the punishment.

Answer 6

Wearing hijab doesn't mean to wear loose clothing at all!!!! I am Muslim and I wear hijab and I don't wear loose clothes and also I don't wear tight clothing. I dress nicely and every day I wear different color of hijab and I match my cloth to my hijab,, hijab doesn't mean very loose and dark or black clothing..I usually wear pink and blue and all other colors and this doesn't matter at all.

Answer 7

I would think it was a part of her culture and respect it. The other scenario seems contradictory to me. It's like a "little bit pregnant"...there is no such thing. Or more simply put, "You are or you aren't."

Then I have to wonder....perhaps such a gal wishes to be true to her faith, but embrace a different culture. I find this perfectly understandable. It is so hard to be true to yourself and still feel a part of your surroundings. It takes courage to "stand out" and away from the accepted norm...no matter where it is or where you originate. I would have a lot of compassion for such a girl.

Answer 8

as far as i am concerned..muslim girls usually wear only black color scarves and loose fitting dress the only reason i can say is that..black is less attractive dress in terms of sexual attraction and loose fitting dress did not show off women's body, size in compare too north american society, where they show off body by wearing small/tight dresses. Which in result attract guyz/mann and sometime leads to pre marital sex...in quran pre marital sex is unacceptable and that's why they have black loose fitting dress and black scarves..LOL..i am hindu..soooo i dunno much more then that..but still if you have any question u can contact mee

Answer 9

If I may say so, dress code imposed by a religion is obsolete. All people - men and women - should have the freedom to wear what they like.

Answer 10

i believe the propose of the scarf and loose-fitting clothing is to hide themselves from men other than their husband. when you get married a women is to be devoted (not to be confused with sub servant) to her husband, why should it matter what other men think. Just think, it keeps other women's husband's eyes where they belong.... with his wife.
