Hijab in The Quran 3 - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief Hijab in The Quran 3 2022-11-21 442 Views Hijab In this part of the article titled “Hijab in The Quran”, we shall discuss other relevant issues such as “working to earn a living”, traditional head cover and lots more. CAN WOMEN WORK TO EARN A LIVING?

Although the responsibility to provide for the family has been laid upon the man, but if required, women can also work to make a living: “Do not covet what Allah has favoured some with more than He has some others. Men have a share in what they earn and women have a share in what they earn. And ask Allah for His favours.

Surely Allah has knowledge of everything.” (1) RESPECTING THE PRIVACY OF OTHERS- MEETING PEOPLE WITH PERMISSION One of the Islamic etiquettes enjoined in the Qur’an is to seek permission when meeting people. The Qur’an says: “O you who believe! Do not enter houses other than your own houses UNTIL YOU HAVE ASKED PERMISSION and saluted their inmates; this is better for you, that you may be mindful.

But if you do not find anyone therein, then do not enter them until permission is given to you; and if it is said to you: Go back, then go back; this is purer for you, and Allah is Cognizant of what you do.” (2) BELIEVING MEN TO MAINTAIN PROPER CONDUCT Apart from the women, the believing men are also to observe this Islamic Hijab by maintaining proper conduct.

The Qur’an says: “Say to the believing men that they cast down their looks and guard their chastity; that is purer for them; surely Allah is Aware of what they do.” (3) The believers guard their chastity, this trait of theirs is further clarified in Surah 23; “Successful indeed are the Believers. Those who are humble in their Salat and who keep aloof from what is vain. And who give Zakat, and who guard their chastity.

Except before their mates or those whom their right hands possess (i.e with whom they are married), for they surely are not blamable. But whoever seeks to go beyond that, these are they that exceed the limits” (4) From the verses, the dress code can be summed up as follows; 1· Dress should be loose enough so that the obvious parts of the body are not made apparent with a woman’s movement. (5) 2· An extra covering (khummar) should be taken over the bosoms.

(6) 3· Only those parts which are already apparent from a woman’s adornment, i.e. those areas which are obvious whether a woman walks or remains still “ma zahara minha” (7) are to be kept exposed.
