What does a woman do regarding covering her face during Hajj?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What does a woman do in response to the question, brother? What does a woman do during Hajj? Do not the hadiths reported from the Lady Aisha indicate that when the riders passed by us, one of us would lower her jilbab over her face?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is the answer, but there is an answer to the answer. First, the hadith of the Lady Aisha contains Yazid ibn Abi Yazid al-Dimashqi, their freed slave, and there is weakness in his memorization. Second, this act does not indicate obligation, but rather indicates the recommendation we mentioned earlier. It does not prevent the woman performing Hajj or 'Umrah from uncovering her face, is that not so? I did not hear the answer... Arabic poetry. Rather, they come with new styles that the language of the Arabs does not know. This is, of course, clear. I now remember that the newspaper al-Muslimun had written articles on this matter. There is no doubt that this is one of the things that distances Muslims from their language, which they must know, because they cannot know the language of the Qur'an except by referring to the original language of the Arabs. If they come with prose that is exactly like the colloquial language, it is an incentive and a cause for distancing Muslims from becoming accustomed to their authentic Arabic language, by which alone they can know the meanings of the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
The questioner : O Shaykh, these poetic verses, O Shaykh, contain mockery of the religion and atheism.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is enough. This is not a question. Mockery of the religion, whether it is prose or poetry, whether this poetry is in the old Arabic meters or the new, modern meters. Yes.
