question about hijab, halal, haram,
sunnah.
It's a long one.
Well, hijab is quite simple. Hijab is an
obligation on Muslim women.
And uh, of course, it doesn't mean that
if a Muslim woman doesn't wear hijab,
she's no longer a Muslim. But she is in
sin. From the perspective of God, she is
in sin if she doesn't wear hijab. Hijab
meaning that she covers her body, the
whole of her body in loose garment from
head to toe. Uh nothing being seen of
her except her face and hands. And we
should also know because all the time we
talk about hijab, we always speak about
the hijab of women. But we should also
know that there is hijab of men.
The hijab of men. No, not just the
there's a mental hijab also. Yes, we
know about that hijab. But there's the
other hijab which is the external hijab
where it is prohibited for a Muslim man
to wear pants
which expose his private parts.
Because at the same time we say women
cover yourself but then we're walking
out with spandex pants and men. So
there's no double standard in Islam. As
a woman it is not acceptable hijab for
her to wear something on her head but
she wears a top which is so tight she
may as well not be wearing any top or a
bottom that is so tight she may as well
not be wearing any bottom.
We don't accept that as hijab. It's not
hijab. Similarly, for men, particularly
between the navl and the knee, their
garment should be so loose that private
parts are not exposed. And this is a big
issue because a lot of the Muslim
community, males in the Muslim community
have ignored this. And schol scholars
will tell you and you will know that one
of the uh conditions for the uh
correctness or acceptability of salah
is what?
Covering the private parts.
So covering the private parts is no
different for men than women in the
sense that between the navl and knee
which is the private area of the male
that is supposed to be covered in a
similar manner. The garment should be
loose. So pants
that are western style pants for Muslims
is really not acceptable unless you're
wearing a top which comes down to your
knee or you're wearing loose pants like
the shallir
Pakistani
pants the waist is like this wide you
know it comes together whatever this is
a point that you need to address
because if you are serious about the
dean then we don't have a double
standard one standard of exposing a or
covering a for men and another standard
for women no we have one standard in
Islam
