Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters from Jeddah indicated her name with the letters (N. A. D). She sent a message containing some questions.
In one of her questions, she asks: What is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Leaning, leaning others, their heads like the humps of tilted camelsمائلات مميلات، رؤوسهن كأسنمة البخت
?

Answer:
This is an authentic hadith narrated by Muslim in his Sahih from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
Two are the types of the denizens of Hell whom I did not see: people having flogs like the tails of the ox with them and they would be beating peopleصنفان من أهل النار لم أرهما: رجال بأيديهم سياط يضربون بها الناس
Sahih Muslim 2128
meaning oppression
and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined (to evil) and make their husbands incline towards it. Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise and they would not smell its odour whereas its odour would be smelt from such and such distance.ونساء كاسيات عاريات، مائلات مميلات رؤوسهن كأسنمة البخت المائلة لا يدخلن الجنة ولا يجدن ريحها، وإن ريحها ليوجد من مسيرة كذا وكذا
Sahih Muslim 2128
.
The scholars have interpreted this hadith by saying that they are clothed in the blessings of Allah, but naked in their gratitude for them. A group of them said in interpreting the hadith:
Clothedكاسيات
in thin and short clothes
Nakedعاريات
because these clothes do not cover, so they are in the ruling of the naked. This is a great abomination. It is obligatory for the woman to cover herself completely from her servant, from her sister’s husband, from her husband’s brothers, and from other non-mahrams. The covering must be complete for her entire body, head, and face from those who are not her mahrams. If she leaves off some of that, she becomes in the ruling of the clothed who are naked.
As for his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
leaning and causing others to leanمائلات مميلات
its meaning according to the people of knowledge is: (leaning) away from the truth, from the right, from chastity and uprightness, toward corruption and indecency. (Leaning) others toward that. So they are leaning away from chastity and uprightness toward corruption, fornication, and lewd acts, and away from the truth. They are leaning other women toward that, meaning: they call to lewdness and mediate in lewdness.
As for those who interpreted that as the tilted comb; this is an error, it is nothing. The correct view is that the intended meaning is leaning away from the truth, from chastity and uprightness, toward corruption and other than uprightness. Leaning other women away from uprightness and chastity toward corruption. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
As for (their heads like the humps of tilted camels), this is a sign for them, one of their signs: enlarging the heads. They gather things on them that enlarge and make them big. And it is as if it is a sign for them in some countries where these bad deeds are practiced. Yes.
