muslim women hajib

I’m Muslim too, And In the Quran, its optional for the woman to wear the “Hijab”, but if she wear’s the “Hijab” she wears it for Allah “God”. No one can force her. It’s not good for the girl to wear the “Hijab” and then after a certian age take it off. Its Bad. Either you wear and thats it, Not wear it and take it off cause you don’t have your period anymore.

wow musleeemah you hit the nail on the head to to speak. thats my understanding of it, you wear in submission to Gods wishes, not for anyone elses (through my studies of islam). though it has been used to control and lower womens position in some parts but that is common b/c man will use God word to do his own will. which is sad. im a christians by the way and I think that muslim women wearing this for God to be modest/moral is good, if they so choose. I see it as how some christian groups do the same like the amish here in the states. they wear plain colthing and are very modest.

stop your random preaching… I want an actual quote from the quran that says a hijab is necessary…

The hajib is optional in the US. Many Muslim women do not wear it.

where in the quran does it say the woman has to wear a hijab?

In many Muslim countries the hijab is optional…cultural / peer pressure is most of the reason for the head dress.

“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear therof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31).

Acually,you’re just supposed to cover your head at puberty.It can be with a scarf or anything!:)Just to cover the hair in public.

Despite the assertions of some conservative Islamic scholars that niqaab is waajib (fard) or mustahaab (obligatory or highly recommended) there is no basis in the Qur’an for this claim. While conservative scholars try to finesse the Qur’an and Hadith together into a tortuous justification for imposing these assaults of women’s sovereignty, all independent authorities confirm there is no basis for these restrictive claims. Moreover the idea that God, or Allah, prefers women veiled, or that a woman’s entire body, or that everything except face and hands, is awrah (pudenda) to be ashamed of, or that women need to be veiled to protect themselves from the ravages of men, and society from immorality, is a false teaching, used by men to control female reproductive choice, and to limit women’s access to educational, social and political independence.

Hijab is NOT the head covering it is actually to be modest. Covering the hair is not hijab if the chest area is showing and the shape of the body. It doesn’t say in the Quran to specifically cover the hair, “”And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear therof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms”” this is from the Quran in the Surah titled The Women. It is an act of modesty and morality to cover up. It doesn’t matter how old you are. You don’t wear hijab because someone forces you, you wear it for God! No one forced me to wear it, not my husband, no one! If you don’t want to wear it, don’t. All muslim women should be proud to wear it however, it shows everyone that we are muslims!!! =D
