Question:
Do we await a response from your eminence through one of the newspapers or magazines regarding the issue that arose concerning the matter of hijab? And will there be a statement from the Permanent Committee regarding the concept of the Shari'ah hijab to remove the much confusion that has occurred among people in this matter?
Answer:
My brothers, the matter of hijab is clear and does not need debate or responses. The matter is clear, but these people do not want the truth. You cannot ever make the one who does not want the truth accept it, nor the one who wants the truth. Hijab is clarified, praise be to Allah, in books and treatises by imams and scholars that are printed and available. So let the one who wants the truth refer to them. Let him refer to the treatise on hijab by Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), let him refer to the treatise on hijab by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him), let him refer to the book on hijab and clothing in prayer, which is a treatise taken from the tafsir of the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah on Surat al-Nur. It is a concise treatise, and the one who wants length should go to the book. The book of tafsir of Surat al-Nur by the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah.
So the matter is clear, praise be to Allah. There is no issue. But the one who wants falsehood and wants to follow his desires, you cannot ever make him accept it. Even if you bring him the books of the world, he will not refer to them. Because he follows his desires. Have you seen the one who takes his desire as his god? Will you be a guardian over him? This one follows his desires, he does not follow the evidence. And the one who follows his desires, there is no remedy, there is no remedy no matter how much you write. So there is no need for writing. The writing is written and available. The one who wants the truth should refer to these books and these treatises. Yes.
