Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Your Questions Answered (volume 5) Q. 90: Looking At Woman Not Observing Hijam On reading "Your Questions Answered'. I came to a part in which you have stated that a Muslim could watch a film provided: (a) it had no music (b) It was not immoral and (c) it didn't have dancing in it. What about the namahram women we see in it who are unveiled? A.

The face of those ghair-mahram women may be looked at who do not observe rules of hijab-provided that look is not with lust. Q. 91: HIJAB BEFORE MALE SERVANTS Why is it necessary for a woman to wear hijab in front of her male slave? Does he not have the similar instincts and feelings of a human being that he should be allowed on the beauty of his mistress? Does a women have to wear hijab in front of her servants? A.

Women are not allowed to remove hijab in front of those male servants who might be having even a little bit of lust. Qur'an clearly says "they are not obligated to observe hijab before only those male servants who have no need of women" (see Sura an-Nur,ayat 31). Q. 92: ABOUT MUSIC We have a few tapes that our brothers got from Iran.

The tapes are full with chants supported by drums, which is definitely a musical instrument and also I heard other supportive instruments?" (The above question was asked from a Caribbean country. Another brother asked from another country): I have seen a programme on Iran in which there is a scene which shows the Iranians acting out the tragedy of Kerbala during Moharram/Safar. During the show, music is constantly being played. Is this allowed in the Islamic shari'ah A.

The law about music, according to Ayatullah al-Khoui, is as follows:- Music is haram... doing it as well as listening to it or earning by it. It does not mean merely good voice, but it is prolongation of voice with variation of tune and crescendo in a particular charming way (as is found in the gatherings of lahv and pleasure parties) and the musical instruments.

It makes no difference even if the words sung are haqq (right, true) like recital of the Qur'an, du'a, Marthiyah etc.; rather his punishment will be increased if he uses music in things (like Qur'an etc.) which are intended for obedience of Allah Ta'ala.
