Scholar says something perfectly logical and reasonable backed up by evidence but not popular Ppl who are upset: Nah we will follow what our fathers followed

As a Christian I say this man is a Very Great and Good man, May God Bless him

We need more people like this guy

Modesty is the main message , wearing clothes where the shape of your body is not revealed,

Thank you for this series and I really enjoy watching the interaction between you and Safiya and the way she asks her questions without reservation and with curiosity and you don’t dismiss her. Very heartwarming.

This is how I was taught since I was a boy back in '70s. Scholars in my country agree with this position and their wifes and daughters are not wearing jilbab, just simple traditional head cover. Jilbab only came in '90s after our young men returning from Saudi started assuming teaching position, so now we have two positions. Comparing both positions is fun and exciting exercise, except lately those pro jilbab started to consider the non-jilbab as sinners, not as sisters differ in fiqh.

Great information. May Allah Bless you All for your hardwork.

I love this hijab series. I thank Allah for showing me scholar like Dr.Shabbir Ally . He is a very sensible scholar, he interprets quran & hadith logically rather than just presenting his own emotions. As long as Allah has not clearly instructed women to cover their hair, women are free to choose to wear hijab or not wear hijab. But unfortunately many hadiths are interpreted with a patriarchical perspective. For example, if a women wears perfume she is sinning, if she wears makeup she is sinning, why is she sinning? Because she is stimulating men's desire. Everything what a women does is to ensure that she doesn't trigger mens desires. Most hadith interpretations are to ensure men are protected from women. This gives a picture asif islam is for men only. Whereas the islamic society during the lifetime of our prophet was a very inclusive society .men and women attended sermons , prayers and all community work together. Nowhere we can see our prophet seggregating men and women except in prayer. Then why are the scholars showing a wrong picture of Islam. Listen to scholars like @Dr. Shabbir Ally @Javed Ahmed Ghamdi @ Mufti Abu Layth you will start loving Allah more than ever

Sheik Khaled Abu Al fadl explanation makes sense also He explained everything in detail I might have even tilt toward the side of the scholars that said covering hair is an injunction from Allah but then why did they have to differentiate between a slave woman and free woman dressing Why can a slave woman open between her navel to knee and pray with hair open if it's truly from Allah It therefore means that they got their law from the socio-cultural setting not the Quran because the verse in the Quran said qul lil muminat(all believing women;or where there no believers amongst the slaves?) Even during the early days women have their hairs open in parts of Egypt and the likes Funniest thing there was a time when covering hair for male was even an issue. Why male didn't fight and say 'yes they usually cover their hair during the Prophet's time' and go ahead covering their hair. I'm not using this particular point as an argument coz it sounds incoherent.I'm just saying if you want to say the heads of the female companions are usually covered then same for the male also. So it can't be a valid argument. For more listen to Sheik Khaled lectures on hijab and LEAVE WOMEN ALONE. It's getting sickening .

In the west, Muslim (and Jewish) women dress modestly as a daily matter. Some cover their hair whenever they go out in public, some only when they attend services. Either way, it's their choice and for me, a mere human, the freedom of that choice is ultimately what matters.

Great session! Thank you. ❤️ Repeatedly the phrase "The Quran is not clear" is being used in this series, which I feel, is not appropriate. The Quran categorically claims that it is clear and easy [15:1; 54:17]. So we need to sincerely ponder on these claims of the Quran and stay away from using sweeping-phrases like this just to obscure our limitation of understanding created by ourselves. To my humble understanding, if we take the Quranic Verses and use our intellect (Aql) [the Quran asks us to do so], all these verses under discourse will be clear to us. Problem occurs when we try to equate the cultural practices with the Quranic guidance and find inconsistency. The Quran is clear, it is we who make our understanding of the Quran difficult and get overwhelmed when we do not find something in the Quran that we practise or we prefer. Our practices have errors and exaggerations while the Quran stands correct and clear. Our forefathers did not always have correct understanding of Deen [2:170] and there were co-existence of exaggerated practices those have been misattributed to Deen Islam by our predecessors. Six books of Sihah Sitta are not that Sahih as we think of, which has already been established by many [Focus has to be on Matn/contents, not on Sanad/chain of narration]. To extract the Quranic guidance, one has to unlearn what has been learnt of the Deen that are additional or exaggeration or contradictory to the Quran. Having done so, if we approach the Quran, In Shaa Allah, the Quran will be clearer to us. Allah teaches the Quran to us [55:1-2]. If we qualify with our conviction, sincerity and honesty, I firmly believe that Allah will make things clear to us by His amazing teaching method engaging our God-given consciousness.

Showing any body feature during war shouldn't be a problem at all if the women are helping, fighting alongside, moving from place to place - being displaced, so I don't agree with the men who are claiming women should remain covered in such situations.

What normally appears is subjective as it is. In my personal opinion, a woman's adornments are the body parts not prominent for men, or the body parts that are sexually arousing and should be kept away

Alhamdulillah. Another good lesson.

The Qur’anic verse obligating women to cover their hair is as follows: “Tell the believing women to…draw their headscarves over their chests…” [Qur’an 24:31] Different translations of the Qur’an have rendered the Arabic word khumur [singular: khimār] as ‘veils’ [Yusuf Ali], ‘scarves’ [Abdul Majid Daryabadi] and ‘shawls’ [Taqi Usmani]. Even though it is common to use the word ḥijāb nowadays to refer to the headscarf, the word used in the Qur’an was khimār. It is important to understand that the word used only has the meaning of a headscarf, and not any other article of clothing. It cannot refer to a scarf that is draped around the neck nor to a shawl that is used to cover other parts of the body. The word khimār [meaning headscarf] is similar to the word ‘hat’. Both of them are used to cover the head. Therefore, if someone were to say, “make sure your hat covers your ears,” the covering of the head would automatically be implied in the sentence because that is what the function of a hat is. Were someone to argue that since the head was not explicitly mentioned, they could dangle a hat off each ear and this would fulfill what the speaker said, it would be dismissed as ridiculous. Likewise is the case of someone who assumes the verse is telling women to use a headscarf to only cover their chest area and not their head. This should serve as a sufficient answer to people who ask, “Where does Allah tell women to cover the hair in the Qur’an?” One might ask why Allah used this manner of speaking. Why didn’t He just mention that women must cover their hair, in plain and clear wording, so that there would be no confusion among people today? In order to answer such a question, the historical context in which the Qur’an was revealed must be understood. Women in many parts of the world used to cover their hair. In Arabia, they used a headscarf which would cover their hair and then they would drape the ends of that scarf behind their shoulders.[1] The verse clarified to women that this is not sufficient for modesty because the neck and upper-chest areas are exposed, so they must drape their headscarves over their chest areas to make sure that part is covered as well. Since women were already covering their head there was no need to tell them to cover it again. The case is similar to a corporation that tells their employees the dress code at work requires everyone to ensure that their shirt is buttoned up to the top so that the upper-chest area is not exposed. It is common culture for people to already wear shirts to work so there is no need to explain to these employees that the shirt must cover their entire back, stomach and chest areas: that would be redundant and unnecessary. Another angle to look at this issue from is to consider what the implications of the contrary argument would be. I have personally heard several people arguing that the ‘chest’ referred to in the verse is speaking about the breasts of a woman. The argument goes that Arab women used to not cover their breasts in public and the verse is ordering them to cover up. If this was the case, and if the verse required only covering the chest, as is claimed, then the rest of the verse would appear very problematic: “Tell the believing women to…draw their headscarves over their chests…except in front of their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons…” This reading would imply that a woman does not need to cover her chest [i.e. breasts] in front of all the male relatives mentioned. It is doubtful that people who make such an argument would be comfortable with such a conclusion. The final point worth mentioning is that, as far as I know, no recognized Muslim scholar for at least a thousand years after the revelation of the Qur’an has ever made an argument to the contrary about women being required to cover their hair in public. Furthermore, no Arabic linguist, as far as I know, has ever argued that a khimār is anything but a head cover. This is significant because it would mean that people who do make such an argument, namely, that a headscarf is not a requirement, have discovered something which eluded Muslims for centuries. It has not been a matter of legitimate scholarly debate in the past and it is highly unlikely that something so significant, and public, would have been completely misunderstood for such a long time. It is more probable that people who do make such an argument are, intentionally or otherwise, using intellectual gymnastics to ‘reinterpret’ the Qur’an to mean something that it doesn’t. Following the tenets of Islam is a choice. Choices should be grounded in accurate information. It is hoped that this explanation clarifies what the Qur’an really says on this issue.

Totally Hypothetical,10% agreed upon

Each of the sahaba are like stars, and even if u follow any one of them, you're sure to succeed So we just need to know what any or all of the sahaba women wore after all of the rules were given to conclude the path to success

Hijab is NOT a hair cover...there is no mention of coverage for the hair in Islam

But when our prophet Muhammed pbuh said a hand dpand or a cubic longer than the males dress, doesn't it make sense that it will reach to the ankles or heels as the men were taught to have it above that?

I noticed subhanallah how God really put exact explanations and details in some verses like who are the mahrams of women, or how to do or handle certain situations. You see how great details have been specified. Also what men get in jannah but nothing about women, i hear a great shirh saying perhaps silence speaks more than words in that case. Maybe in the Quran speaking about the hijab it is the same aswell. God didnt specify for a reason, perhaps if you cover your chest and wear in on your head, with ample clothing, perhaps it is enough? Only allah knows , it is just my understanding

Health wise that is not right bc you can lack health balance and heat issues

So much fuss about women cloth

I want to hear about: the quran about hijab, because in my opinion it said it all. Is safiyyah's hijab correct according to hadith? To quran? In my tough if safiyah tried to show one of her beauties through her outfit, she then broke the hijab rule of the quran. My point is that the majority of viewers want solutions, not a philosophical or a perfectly frank and logically "squared" opinion about a part of maybe unauthentic hadith. Also every authentic hadith that matches the quuran is taken as granted. Not forget to mention that may allah bless those schollars for their efforts. Thanks to them and to god before all we have more ideas about our religion. And may allah bless both of you! Each person with a bad intention, allah knows it, and through all this the religion is preserved. Finally what is great about science of hadith is that it mentions the certainty and it is dicussable in some view, some other hadiths are almost as authentic and applicable as the curan. And after all, the ruler or the tradition should mention if 10 cm before the foot is considered as an attraction, when it is about details and also the women herserlf. As an example, a lot of wemon I know personnaly wear extra large clothes to cover specific parts which fitter wemon wont do, just to be sure about hijab and because also she knows what precaution she will be happy with when she's outside. Those kind of Islam rullings are taken as a prevention and in the same manner as our doctor has said, the quuran will show as where are the limits of each jump (I'm not quoting). Not to forget to mention that hijab is not only about women's outfit, it is also about the people's hearth. Quuran orders men and wemon to not sneak to others in a bad intention and this is what constitutes also the idea about hijab plus what is mentionned clearly in the quuran. A sneaking man or women can be identified easily, and by the way, actually in a the biggest coorporates in the world i wont mention the name, the eye contact limit is 5s. Above that may be considered as a sexual arrassment. It seems like people, for their own benefit, are reinventing islam slowly...

Ummm, I thought we would let the Quran speak

Surprisingly people who are so blind Hadith followers shockingly the books of bhukari never addresses the covering of the head or face, also sahi Muslim doesn’t even addresses it only told to cover their awrah, only Hadith that is reported is Sunan Abu dawood who is not considered 100% authentic unlike bhukari

(3424) ' A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Sahla bint Suhail came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be eupon him) and said: Messengerof Allah, I see on the face of Abu Hudhaifa (signs of disgust) on entering of Salim (who is an ally) into (our house), whereupon Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Suckle him. She said: How can I suckle him as he is a grown-up man? Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) smiled and said: I already know that he is a young man 'Amr has made this addition in his narration that he participated in the Battle of Badr and in the narration of Ibn 'Umar (the words are): Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) laughed. (3425) 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hadhaifa, lived with him and his family in their house. She (i. e. the daughter of Suhail came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said: Salim has attained (purbety) as men attain, and he understands what they understand, and he enters our house freely, I, however, perceive that something (rankles) in the heart of Abu Hudhaifa, whereupon Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said to her: Suckle him and you would become unlawful for him, and (the rankling) which Abu Hudhaifa feels in his heart will disappear. She returned and said: So I suckled him, and what (was there) in the heart of Abu Hudhaifa disappeared.

Both the Quran and the Hadith are presenting a full picture that a woman in Islam is primarily a sexual object, since the only point of the covering is to prevent the sexual provocation of the men, who aren't obligated to follow the same principle, and the covering itself isn't limited to the sexual parts, but the whole of woman's body have been sexualized and is blamed for provocation in case of a sexual abuse, what also shows that Islam puts more emphasis on defeminization of the women, rather than self-control of the men.

Shabir Ally did not explain properly about Jilbal... Jilbab use to wear to cover face.. There are so many hadith about wearing jilbal..

I reject the hadiths. Am. I still muslim for only accepting the quran as the perfect book

I really don't understand Dr. Shabir at all. The Quran is very clear so do the Hadiths. That's how people start sects by trying to interpret things in there on way. How did women dress in during prophet Muhammad pbuh. Because everyone who in every part of the world who consider themselves Muslims have no disagreement on this issue of Islamic dress code. They're so many scholars and all agree on this issue. Am starting to loose faith on Dr.Shabir. in this world of today people are looking for a scholar who will justify there modern views on things dressing. If we now start to say the Quran and Hadith are not clear on such important issues as dressing, we'll start again to say we can have gay marriages because a prominent Muslim scholar think so. I think is better to keep it to yourself things which are not clear to you otherwise we'll start confusing majority of people with our own individual opinions. We should stick to the tradition

Most of the videos from this channel reminds me of the hadeeds below Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "Allah does not take away the knowledge, by taking it away from (the hearts of) the people, but takes it away by the death of the religious learned men till when none of the (religious learned men) remains, people will take as their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give their verdict without knowledge. So they will go astray and will lead the people astray." Vol. 1, Book 3, Hadith 100

dont take knowledge from these people. take knowledge from Quran and Sunnah

I am new here, but I think this channel is only breeding skepticism about Islam rather than presenting the message of Islam. I wanted to recommend this channel to my wife the first time I saw they were going to discuss about Hijab. But I bet you no Muslim woman or man would take Hijab serious after watching these videos. I see clear verses and Hadiths talking about Hijab and I hear from a learned Muslim is that it's not clear. It makes me feel like am dreaming. The length of clothes specified for men has been used to specify women with a certain distance in addition and this should mean that these two specific limits are taken into account plus the length added for the women which would also be two. How specific is this supposed to be.

So, we there is the Quran (final Authority, I hope?), then the Hadees followed by the commentary. I am neither of the Arab origin nor do I know Arabic, but I have read some "experts" say that Arabic is one of the hardest language to translate. Fact of the matter is most all languages are hard to translate because there is no way to translate nuances and essential element of communication. So that's the first problem, the second problem is the hadees. Islam never undertook a process of corroboration or certification of hadees these days the new age televangelists (low on scholarship and driven more by profit and notoriety) in Pakistan come with a new hadees as their hearts desire and to prove their point. Plus do not forget that a lot of this is word of mouth without the benefit of written records. Heck, the prophets biography was written what a good 75 years after he passed away. The third issue is with the commentary. Commentary is just that; a commentary an opinion. Some commentaries are closer to the facts being commented on and others well can be wild tangents going all over the place. Religion remains the opium of the masses but for some of us who have broken the chains its a more peaceful world.
