Father Kills 16 Year Old Daughter For Not Wearing Hijab!!?

Question

What Do You Think About This??

Answer 1

I think it's pretty awful that their fighting escalated to that level.

I also agree with someone was saying on cbc.ca in a related article that it wasn't exactly the hijab that was the problem, but more of a typical family argument that escalated. Like, for instance, in a family that was not of that religion where the girl wanted to wear short shirts, and her family really didn't want her to do that. In other words, stressing that the traditional customs of that religion were the issue, rather than family problems that shouldn't be allowed to exist in any religion risks pointing the blame in the wrong direction.

Some quotes from the article:
"...members of the Islamic community warn against anyone using the tragedy to vilify the head scarf known as the hijab." (supports above point)
"'She didn't want to go home … to the point where she actually wanted to go to shelters,' classmate Ashley Garbutt, 16, told the Toronto Star." (hints of much bigger family problem)

Answer 2

From Wikipedia: Many Muslims think hijab overlaying for females will have to be obligatory as facet of Sharia legislation. Wearing of the hijab was once enforced via the Taliban regime, and is enforced within the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Prosecutor-General, Abolfazl Musavi-Tabrizi has been quoted as pronouncing: "Any one that rejects the precept of hijab in Iran is an apostate and the punishment for an apostate below Islamic legislation is loss of life" The Taliban's Islamic Emirate required females to hide no longer most effective their head however their face as good, on the grounds that "the face of a lady is a supply of corruption" for guys no longer regarding them. Islam is a works-established faith, very legalistic. In his faith, that guy was once flawlessly justified in what he did. I suppose it's contemptable, however I'm a Christian, additionally deserving of loss of life of their eyes.

Answer 3

Hijab is the traditional Muslim head scarf.
I do not agree at all with fanatical religious beliefs. To them it seems common place to us it seems crazy. I find it hard to believe when someone tells me Muslim religion is peaceful. I can't imagine how that can be when they have such extremely harsh and archaic punishments. However, I know some other religions who have fanaticals who twist the religion to suit their own needs. It would seem Muslims take the cake though for extreme punishments over such minute issues.

Answer 4

A hijab is that piece of cloth that muslim women wear on their head. According to Islam they have to hide the whole face apart from the eyes.

And I think that it is ridiculous killing your own daughter because she has not worn it!!!

Answer 5

It all goes back to the girl child has no rights... she is dominated by the males in her family.. if they think that she has embarrassed the family in anyway they have the right to do this ( in their country) it is called Honor Killings.....disgusting as it is the parent would feel as though he has done nothing wrong... because she dishonored her family....what amazes me is they call themselves gods people.................

Answer 10

Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

May Allaah reward you with good for your eagerness to cover and remain chaste, and to make precautions, and to advise and guide the teachers and students. This comes under the heading of fulfilling the trust.

Secondly:

We cannot say that it is obligatory for a Muslim woman to cover the face with a multi-layered khimar. What is required is for her to cover the face, whether it is with a single layer or several layers.

Islam allows the khimaar and the niqaab. Those scholars who disallow the niqaab do not do so because it is not prescribed in principle, rather it is because some women choose a type of niqaab that does not meet the shar’i conditions, such as making the opening for the eyes too big. The same may also be said of the khimaar. It is not disallowed in and of itself, but because of its nature, if the fabric is too thin and the face can be seen through it.

The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked about the Islamic ruling on the niqaab. They replied:

As for the niqaab, Abu ‘Ubayd said, concerning the definition of niqaab among the Arabs: It is that from which the socket of the eye appears, and they used to call it al-waswasah or al-burqa’. As for the ruling concerning it: it is permissible. It was originally mentioned in the report narrated by ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: “A woman in ihraam should not wear niqaab or gloves.” According to another report he said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbid women to wear gloves when in ihraam.

The fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade the woman in ihraam to wear niqaab indicates that it is permissible to wear it when not in ihraam. Moreover it cannot be understood from this hadeeth that it is permissible for the woman in ihraam to uncover her face if non-mahram men can see her; rather she must lower the khimaar or niqaab (over her face) until they have passed her. The basic principle concerning that is the report narrated by Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawood and Ibn Majaah from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) who said: The riders would pass by when we were with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in ihraam. When they drew near to us one of us would lower her jilbab from her head over her face, and when they had passed by we would uncover (our faces). End quote.

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz, Shaykh ‘Abd al-Razzaaq ‘Afeefi, Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Ghadyaan, Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Qa’ood.

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (17/171, 172).

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked:

What is the ruling on the burqa’ (niqaab) if it is not worn for adornment, but for covering, and also wearing a cover (on top of it).

He replied:

There is nothing wrong with it, because it will not be seen, as it is going to be covered with something over it. But as for the burqa’ that is on the face and is not covered, we do not say that it is permissible, because it is fitnah and because women do not limit themselves to that. If women would stick to the eye opening then we would say that this is niqaab, which was known at the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and there is nothing wrong with it. But believe me, if you say that it is permissible for women to wear niqab up to the eyes and look out from behind the niqab, within a short time the hole in this niqab would widen to include the forehead and cheeks, then the cover would decrease until the whole face is exposed. This is well known to be the way of women, so shutting the door to that is the best way. End quote.

Liqa’aat al-Baab il-Maftooh (14/question 43)

Based on that:

We say to the teachers, sisters and all Muslim women: whoever among you wants to cover her face has chosen that which is most concealing for herself, and that which is better for religious commitment. But she has to adhere to the prescribed shar’i form of khimaar or niqaab. It is not permissible to make the opening of the niqab to show more than the eyes, and it is not permissible to make the khimaar so thin that it shows the face.

It was narrated from ‘Alqamah ibn Abi ‘Alqamah that his mother said: Hafsah bint ‘Abd al-Rahmaan entered upon ‘Aa’ishah the Mother of the Believers, and Hafsah was wearing a thin khimaar. ‘Aa’ishah tore it and gave her a thick khimaar to wear.

Narrated by Maalik in al-Muwatta’ (1693) and al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan (2/235). Its isnaad is hasan.

Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr said:

Any garment that shows the shape and does not conceal, it is not permissible to wear it under any circumstances, except with another garment that does conceal and does not show the shape, for the one who wears it is in effect naked, as Abu Hurayrah said, and this is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah.
