The Ruling on Mocking the Hijab and Considering It a Custom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad al-Shuwaish from Riyadh says: There is a lot of laxity regarding the hijab, and some people even mock it, or say that it is just a custom and has no basis in the Shari'ah.
Answer:
We seek refuge in Allah from such speech. This is a denial of what Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has made obligatory for women to observe the covering hijab, and this person denies it. This is a denial of a fixed ruling in the Book and the Sunnah. So he must repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness. Yes.
