Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: The display of adornment by women has become widespread inside and outside the Haram. There is much advice given, but they do not respond. Is there a word for the guardians? And what is the obligatory duty toward these women who display their adornment?
Answer:
It is obligatory for women to fear Allah. If they come seeking reward, how can they disobey Allah? Disobedience in this place is severe; the sin is severe. How can a woman come seeking reward, then commit sins and burden herself with sins? She must cover herself, veil herself, and turn away from the foolish, not paying attention to them. She must preserve her dignity and her religion. It is obligatory for the guardians of these women or girls to fear Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and take hold of their hands, not leaving them to their own devices. For some people bring their families, sons and daughters; he sits in the Haram praying and reading, while his daughters and sons are being foolish in the markets, and he does not look after them or protect them from these matters. This is not permissible for him. If he stayed in his country and in his home and looked after his children, it would be better for him than bringing them and leaving them to be neglected here.
And you, if you see any of this, must report it to the authority, the authority of the Haram. The Haram has authorities; the members of the authority should be informed of this reality, and the place where this evil is occurring should be made clear to them. Yes.
