Something good to share, a reminder for parents alert, friends knowledge not to forget myself..about the right condition of our hijab. Sheikh Al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The right condition of hijab:
1) It should cover all the body apart from whatever has been exempted
“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
This aayah clearly states that it is obligatory to cover all of a woman’s beauty and adornments and not to display any part of that before non-mahram men (“strangers”) except for whatever appears unintentionally, in which case there will be no sin on them if they hasten to cover it up.
2) It should not be an adornment in and of itself
“… and not to show off their adornment…” [an-Nur 24:31]. The general meaning of this phrase includes the outer garment, because if it is decorated it will attract men’s attention to her.
3) It should be thick and not transparent or “see-through”
- because it cannot cover properly otherwise. Transparent or see-through clothing makes a woman more tempting and beautiful.
Concerning this the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “During the last days of my ummah there will be women who are clothed but naked, with something on their heads like the humps of camels. Curse them, for they are cursed.”
Another hadeeth adds: “They will not enter Paradise or even smell its fragrance, although its fragrance can be detected from such and such a distance. (Narrated by Muslim from the report of Abu Hurayrah)
4) It should be loose, not tight so that it describes any part of the body
The purpose of clothing is to prevent fitnah (temptation), and this can only be achieved if clothes are wide and loose. Tight clothes, even if they conceal the colour of the skin, still describe the size and shape of the body or part of it, and create a vivid image in the minds of men. The corruption or invitation to corruption that is inherent in that is quite obvious. So the clothes must be wide.
5) It should not be perfumed with bakhoor or fragrance
6) It should not resemble the clothing of men
7) It should not resemble the dress of kaafir women
It is stated in sharee’ah that Muslims, men and women alike, should not resemble or imitate the kuffaar with regard to worship, festivals or clothing that is specific to them. This is an important Islamic principle which nowadays, unfortunately, is neglected by many Muslims, even those who care about religion and calling others to Islam. This is due either to ignorance of their religion, or because they are following their own whims and desires, or because of deviation, combined with modern customs and imitation of kaafir Europe. This was one of the causes of the Muslims’ decline and weakness, which enabled the foreigners to overwhelm and colonize them.
“…Verily, Allah will not change the condition of a people as long as they do not change their state themselves …” al-Ra’d 13:11
8) It should not be a garment of fame and vanity
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him said: The messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever wears a garment of fame and vanity in this world, Allah will cloth him in a garment of humiliation on the Day of Resurrection, then He will cause Fire to flame up around him.’
