Condemning Women Exposing Their Heads in Commercial Centers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In some commercial centers, I find women exposing their heads or the hair on their heads. He says: In some commercial centers, I find women exposing the hair on their heads and their faces, so I ordered them to cover their heads. Is my action correct? And is my condemnation by the tongue alone considered valid in the Shari'ah?
Answer:
Do not enter that shop, the shop that has wrongs in it which you are unable to remove. Do not enter it; stay away from it. Covering the head is not sufficient; the full hijab is required, covering the face and the head. The trial of the face is more severe than the trial of the head. Yes.
