is it haram NOT to where the hijab?

Question

i know women arent forced to wear it and i like the concept of people judging you by who you are not what you look like.but i have this cousin who doesnt wear it and everyone practically hates her for it.so is it haram not to wear it?

this really didnt help, just gave mixed answers and more confused now then ever.

Answer 1

The Quran doesn't force the woman to wear the hijab, but the people who are Muslims and those who teach Islam are forcing the women to wear it.
Take for example those who are judging your cousin. They are judging her for not wearing it. That is one way of forcing women to wear the hijab. In countries like Saudia, Iran, Pakistan, Afgainstan, etc. they are forced to wear it. Maybe it is not the religion, and it is just the Muslims. but still they are forced to wear it.

Answer 2

She might desire to the added fabric to cover her chest. which would be lots greater beneficial than a VOLumized Hijab. A volumized i think grabs interest and this spoils the purpose of Hijab.. What do you assert? it is okay while you're trying it at homestead, i think of. basically Allaah knows the wonderful. pay attention to a Lecture approximately Hijab and the complication-unfastened thought of Hijab and in shaa Allaah you will get your answer. might Allaah forgive me for something I stated incorrect! Ameen!

Answer 3

Islam told its women believer to wear a modest suit..
Hijab is not haram if not wear...Women should wear an attire that close the whole body except face and hand..
Women also can choose to wear veil and a casual fit..

Answer 4

According to the Q'uran, which makes darn good sense in light of the fact that people are silly things, making judgements either way (for wearing it, not wearing, wearing too much covering, wearing too little, wearing clothes too revealing, and so on and so forth ad nauseum) you're supposed to cover a certain amount of your body. There's much discussion, in various circles about "how much?" is correct, but the bottom line... if you're a Muslimah, you're expected to have 2 forms (note: TWO) of hijab, internal and external. It DOES protect you, from certain people who would judge you on what you wear, or look at you as a sex object and so forth, it DOES NOT protect you from the zealots who will judge you for wearing it... so, go with what you believe is correct within those guidlines for you as a Muslimah, and what makes you feel comfortable in this wacky Western world (assuming you're here in the West) and so forth. Certain forms of hijab are culturally adopted in other cultures, so in the West, you have a WIDE range of options to choose from. I just read a book about a Western Muslimah who designs wonderful hijab for ladies in the west: Michaela Corning... you'd have to do a search on her because I don't have a website.

Research, educate and go with your own decisions within what you believe.

Answer 5

The men myself being one will try to see you naked if they could be they a 16 year old or a 70 year old man, Islam wants you to dress modestly so that your breasts are not visible to the eye and you other parts of the body are covered if that is a kind of sin in some body's eyes then hi jab is fine for me and my family. No it is not haram Muslim women wear Hijabs and many are without them

Answer 6

yes it is,its a sin , when a limit is told by Quran then there is no question in it. order of quran is an order, but i wont agree with the idea of hating that gal as its her personal and she is answerable to Allah for that, and rest of the humen have no rights to treat her with hate, try to show her the way and its upto her whether to accept it or not, this is between her and Allah .

And Btw i dont agree with this idea of hijab of heart , in quran it is given in literal meaning as well, Yes it is must for a lady or a muslim to have a fair heart and follow all teachings of islam, but saying that i m fear in heart so i don't need wearing hijab, its no excuse!!!...there are different orders for appearance and deeds..everything has its own explanation, so we can't mix up things. Be good and do wear hijab too. there is seperate punishment for not wearing hijab and for being unfair by heart.

Answer 7

What is the punishment of not wearing Hijab?

Fatwa

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. Hijab is a duty ordained and prescribed by Allah The Almighty on women. Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {O Prophet Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested…}[33: 59] The Holy Qur'an. In another Surah (chapter of the Qur'an) Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {…that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! Turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss. }[24:31]. Therefore, it is imperative on the Muslim men and women to submit to the commands of Allah and His Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) in accordance with the true faith (Iman) Allah The Almighty Says: {It is not fitting for a Believer, men or women, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger, to have any option about their decision: if anyone disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path.}[33:36]. If the woman does not fulfill the duty of Hijab, then she is prone to the punishment and wrath of Allah. However, there is no authority from the Qur'an or Sunnah (sayings of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam)) indicating clearly the type of penalty. Even if it is but a minor penalty, nobody can endure the Hellfire for a moment. The Muslim woman should fear Allah The Almighty and fulfill her obligations towards her Lord. If a woman committed a sin she should repent as quickly as possible before it is too late. Allah knows best.

Answer 8

To my knowledge, covering your head and face is sunnath. I don't think not wearing the hijab is haram. Its ok as long as you wear decent clothes which cover your body.
I am a muslim and I don't wear it. There are lots of women who don't wear head scarves or veils in the community I live in. We don't have a problem with it.

Answer 9

Yes, it is.

But Hijab is not the name of a dress.
It just means to cover the body, except for the face and hands. The clothes must be loose fitting and not show the shape of the body, and shouldn't be flashy or attention grabbing.

Answer 10

The Koran requires women to cover most of their bodies including their hair. What she wears is her choice. The hijab is a cultural requirement, not religious.
