The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is meant by the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) describing women who are “clothed yet naked, swaying and causing others to sway”? He said, “Their heads are like the humps of tilted camels.”
The Shaykh:
Naif?
The questioner:
What is meant by the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh:
“Clothed yet naked” means they wear clothing that does not cover them. So they are wearing clothes, they are clothed in terms of the garment, but they are naked in terms of the covering. Their clothing is on them, but it does not cover them. It is also said that they are clothed in the blessings of Allah, but naked in their gratitude for them. “Their heads are like the humps of tilted camels”: they enlarge their heads, putting wraps and things on them to make the head look large, making it look like two heads, enlarging it until the head is enlarged. All of this is not permissible. Yes.
