Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Islamic Hijab (Veil) What The Holy Qur'an And Traditions Say About Woman And Social Life Obtaining Permission "O you who believe, do not enter houses other than your own houses, until you have obtained permission and greeted their dwellers; this is better for you, that you may remember."(Holy Qur’an, 24:27).

Resemblance Imam Ali (a.s.) quotes the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) as saying: "Allah curses those men who make themselves resemble women or those women who make themselves resemble men." [^1] Perfuming Outside Home Imam Husayn (a.s.) quotes the Prophet of Islam as saying: "Any woman who perfumes herself and leaves her home is cursed by the angels and deprived of the blessings of the Almighty Allah until she returns home."[^2] Evil Looks Imam Husayn (a.s.) quotes the Messenger of Allah as saying: "An evil look is one of the poisonous arrows of Iblis (Satan) and how an evil look causes long-suffering regrets." [^3] Avoiding the Forbidden Things Imam al-Baqir (a.s.) narrates: "Every eye shall cry on the Day of Resurrection with the exception of three: an eye which passed the nights guarding Muslims (their wealth, land, etc.) for the sake of Allah; an an eye which wept for fear of Allah; and an eye which was cast down against the deeds made forbidden by Allah." [^4] Looking at Women Imam al-Sadiq (a.s.) was asked whether it is lawful for a man to look at the face of a woman whom he wants to marry and also to look at her from behind.

He said: "Yes, there is no objection for a man to look at a woman whom he wants to marry including her face and to look at her from behind." [^5] Saluting Women Imam Husayn (a.s.) says: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) used to salute women and they used to reply his salutation.

While the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (a.s.), also used to salute women, but he disliked to salute the young among the women and said, 'I feared that her voice would admire me and thus affect me so I would commit sin more than get reward." [^6] The Punishment of Chasing Women Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (a.s.) says: "A young man from the Ansar met a woman is Madina. At that time, women used to wear a veil, so he looked at her while she was coming toward him.

Men she passed by he continued looking after her until he entered one of the alleys. He continued looking as he passed along the alley until a bone on a wall slashed his face and the woman passed out of sight.
