The governor said hijab is mentioned seven times in Quran, but not in the connection of women's dress code. It is in connection with 'purdah' which means that when you speak, you should have 'purdah' in between, Arif Mohammad Khan said.
Qur'an 33:59, tells Muhammad ask his family members and other Muslim women to wear outer garments when they go out, so that they are not harassed: O Prophet!
Hijab is a linguistic term that refers to a conspicuous barrier. This term appears in the Quran in numerous situations, indicating physical and metaphysical barriers. It is important to highlight that the Prophet of Islam did not enforce the veil in Arabia.
The Quran explicitly states that men and women are equal in the eyes of God. Furthermore, the Quran: forbids female infanticide (practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia and other parts of the world) instructs Muslims to educate daughters as well as sons.
Wearing of the hijab is a sign of a woman's willing submission to sharia, or Islamic law and custom. For a time in Muslim history, veiling, wearing a head covering that may or may not also conceal the face, was seen as a status symbol in addition to a practice of modesty.
Within the Muslim community, there has been a lot of dispute over whether or not covering the hair is mandatory (fard) to fulfilling the demands of Islam. If this is, in fact, the case, then choosing not to cover one's head would be impermissible (haram) in the faith.
Iran and neighboring Taliban-controlled Afghanistan are the only countries where the hijab remains mandatory for women. Before protests erupted in September, it was rare to see women without headscarves, though some occasionally let their hijab fall to their shoulders.
Exposing the intimate parts of the body is unlawful in Islam as the Quran instructs the covering of male and female genitals, and for adult females the breasts. Exposing them is normally considered sinful. Exposing intimate parts when needed, such as going to the toilet or bathing, falls under a specific set of rules.
GIRLS' EDUCATION IS A DIVINE COMMAND
In Islam, education is a divine command for both men and women. The Quran as well as the hadith leave no doubt that women, like men, are obligated to increase their knowledge and pursue it.
It never occurred to anyone of them that such talk is forbidden. Of course, if the conversation is frivolous or leads to suggestions that are not in line with the serious moral attitude of Islam, such conversation may be forbidden, but only because of its contents, and not for being between man and woman.
When alone in a room or at home, Muslim women are permitted to remove their Hijabs. When a Muslim woman is not wearing the hijab, she must cover her hair, even if she is not praying. Once they have completed praying or if they are not praying, they are free to take off their hijab.
Some scholars argue that purdah was originally designed to protect women from being harassed and seen as sexual objects. In contemporary times, some men and women still interpret the purdah as a way to protect women's safety while moving in public sphere.
(33:59) O Prophet, enjoin your wives and your daughters and the believing women, to draw a part of their outer coverings around them. It is likelier that they will be recognised and not molested. Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful. 110.
The experts recalled that under the current version of Iran's Islamic Penal Code, any act deemed “offensive” to public decency is punishable by 10 days to two months in prison or 74 lashes. Women seen in public without a veil could be sentenced to between 10 days and two months in prison or a fine.
Muslims are not expected to visualize God but to worship and adore him as a protector. Any kind of idolatry is condemned in Islam. (Quran 112:2) As a result, Muslims hold that for someone to worship any other gods or deities other than Allah (shirk (polytheism)) is a sin that will lead to separation from Allah.
YUSUFALI: And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their ...
While the Quran does not name any woman except for Mary directly, women play a role in many of its stories. These stories have been subject to manipulation and rigid interpretation in both classical commentary and popular literature from patriarchal societies.
The most respected of the Marjas are entitled Allamah. This Persian name for teacher is also used by some Sunnis to denote a teacher of extraordinary respect. Ulema/Ulama is the title that indicates that the teacher has come to awareness of the consensus, the ijma, of the Umma.
There's one hadith (meaning a prophetic tradition) by the Prophet Muhammad where he basically said that a man is not allowed to touch – the key word here is touch – a woman to whom he is a stranger, someone he essentially could marry.
According to hadith litera- ture, the Prophet prohibited men from wearing yellow: 'The Prophet, peace be upon him, has prohibited us from wearing yellow clothing' (al-Nasa'ī 1988).
Neither verse prohibits a woman from leaving her house or traveling without a mahram, nor does either require having a mahram in the workplace. The verses stipulate that when she leaves the house, a woman should observe the veil while outside.
Noting that not every activity associated with religion is an essential religious practice, the court held that hijab wearing is not fundamental to Islamic law as it did not form the cornerstone of the religion. After going through Ali's commentary, the court concluded hijab is not referred to in Quran.
Local laws require men and women to dress modestly covering shoulders and knees in public, avoiding tight-fitting clothing or clothes with profane language or images. It is not mandatory for female travellers to wear the traditional robe or abaya.
