Should Hijab Be Enforced? | Q&A | Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi

[@thameemsh]

May Allah preserve Shaikh Yasir Qadhi among us for the longest time. His wisdom and knowledge is much needed for us in this dark and confusing times.

[@nurhanaibrahim162]

Yes so great bringing us all more into darkness and ignorance...??!!

[@thameemsh]

@@nurhanaibrahim162 No one is perfect. You are free to disagree with any particular issues discussed by Dr. Yasir. But only if you listen to many Shaikhs including Dr. Yasir , you would understand the broader scope of things and then use your intellect to choose what to follow . But you don’t listen to all sides and blatantly say Dr. Yasir is leading us to darkness is you being the ignorant. I lived all my life in Saudi, Dr. Yasir Qadhi opened my eyes to many things that were going around me, if only I wouldn’t have listened to him, just because someone posted a few minutes clip of his saying something wrong, I would be the loser. Ulamas spend all their lives to learn deen , no one can question their sincerity. Every ulama in the history of islam were criticized by other ulama for one or other things. A great example would be Ibn Taymiyyah. He was regarded as a deviant and leading people astray. Take what you can for these shaikh and leave the other things if you don’t like it. But I don’t think we are in the position to criticize any islamic scholar unless we are in their level and that to with respect and as a means of nasiha. Also remember Allah rewards them with one reward if they have said something wrong but with good niyyah andrewards then two if what they preached was correct. Allah punishes us for criticizing them with no apparent reason as this would be nifaaq. A great shaikh once said don’t get involved in 3 disbutes as there is no good that will come out of it, I remember only two, one was dispute between scholars and another was dispute between your parents

[@nurhanaibrahim162]

@@thameemsh Wassallam wrb. You are right no one is perfect except the Prophet RSAW ie both the individual and the Ulamak. However as a Ulamak who gives dars speeches online or in real life situations has a responsibility to stick to the truth of the Quran Hadith sahih and 5 Jurists and Fuquha. So do we as laymen or individual Muslim. Let us clarify in a number of points. 1.Sheikh Yasir and others of Yaqeen Institute have major flaws making the halal haram and haram halal like LGBTQ and other issue like enforcing hijab import of Hijab and other matters.Its the trend of many so called Ulamak who mislead Ummah at present in the West East and Muslim countries to give some truths and falsity most.Its for people tk believe in them and start making false in most of Islam bit by bit. Even as half knowledgeable or ordinary Muslims Allah gives us mind to think and to know the real Ulamak from false evil ones distorting Islam to keep position and wealth. The same as you have said about Ibn Taymiah RAA and other jurists even Khalifah Rashedeen. But how you compare Yasir to Ibn Taymiah the 5 Prominent main Jurists ?? Thus any wrong doings must be criticized if truly ikhlas must make public apology retract and keep silent. Yes many still persist like Nourman Khan etc. Thus we must prevent munkar and advocate maaruf.All of us must try to not making mistakes especially Ulamak as responsible for Ummah even imperfect. No excuse. 2..As Muslims our duty to unite and not to criticize wrongly or for argument sake. Yes that's correct especially for you Saudi as Islam IS enforced but not taught with understanding and given knowledge. Even enforcement not all correct it's all cosmetic but not real Islamic governance as practised by the Prophet RSAW building up the greatest civilization even until end of times Yom Qiyamah. Still Islam should be enforced rightly and be Perfect and Just for all Muslims and non Muslims male or female young or old rich or poor regardless race color nationalities. Still theres hope.And we can inshallah.

@@nurhanaibrahim162 Wa alaikum Salaam. You really need to understand that most of these Shaykhs make their own ijtihad based on their studies and knowledge. Just because that opinion doesn't fit and match your opinion it does not mean they are deviant. I am an avid listener to islamic lectures from many western and eastern Ulamas, their differences are only on very few select issues. When you boycott and disregard the whole person just because of his stance on one particular issue, I think thats been naive and unfair. What happened to the 99% of good things they preached. If you have a problem with one or few of the things that Shaykh Yasir Qadhi says , then refute and address that particular issue. But slaughtering his whole character and person is totally wrong. I have listened to 95% of all lectures available online of Dr.Yasir's. I have immensely benefitted from him and a million others would relate to me. What do you say to that? And another thing we never ever had time in the history of Islam where all major ulamas agreed upon on all islamic issues. And such time is never gonna come and frankly that is one of the beautiful things about Islam. So please don't reject a person in total just because they have few flaws here and there. I am sure you know the hadith where Rasulullah(saw) said why most people in hell fire are women, because they are not grateful to their husbands for the many good things he has done to her but sees something not to her likings in her husband and then says I have never seen any good in him.

I didnt wear hijab until i was into my mid 20s and it was the biggest decision i took at that stage of my life. Alhamdulillah my parents, family didnt force me so i was able to deal with my nafs and not outside pressure on top which may have overwhelmed me. When others asked me to speak to young women i knew that didnt wear hijab my advice was simply dont force them, educate them about all aspects of Islam and in time they will come round to it. But if you force it, the reasons for wearing it will be wrong and the point will be missed and in the long run it may have an adverse affect. Even if someone wears it loosely they are in the right direction so encourage them not reprimand them...what happened in Iran to Mahsa Amini is unacceptable and unforgiveable.

[@toshadenysekey5467]

As Salamu laikyum Jabin islam,I definitely agree with you on that not to force the hijab on anyone each individual has to 1st understand why Allah (subhanahu wa ta'alaa) has commanded us women to wear it,one must understand why you're suppose to wear it,and the reason for it a new shahada coming into the fold of Al-islam it will take time for them to wear the full hijab and the khimar which is the (headcovering) each person has to grow and Allah knows best.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Command your children to pray when they become seven years old, and beat them for it (prayer) when they become ten years old; and arrange their beds (to sleep) separately. Forcing someone to do something is sometimes necessary. Parents are responsible for their children's behaviors and actions, so they should force their children to do something if the children fail to do it on their own/aren't convinced. If you see someone walking down the street completely naked, the police aren't going to talk to the person and reason with them and try to convince them to put on clothes. They're going to arrest them and force them to get dressed or keep them in jail.

Women in Iran should be allowed to peacefully protest the strict hijab rules. Also those who don't where the hijab properly should be fined similar to a parking offence. No need to be put into a van and send to a correction facility. The speaker is rambling away and clearly off topic.

[@G17-g5c]

The west is actually infiltrating quite successfully now. What message do you really think is being sent around the world and especially to Muslim Ummah and about Islam by burning the hijabs and defying wearing the hijab??? The west wants the whole world to bend to their rules be it socially, culturally, economically, or any otherwise. Have a look at India now and India 50 years ago. Their public was infiltrated the same way with hashtags, feminism, and 'freedom and gender equality' from west and now they have openly applied their way of living and hear of Hindus converting to Christianity for the sake pleasure in this world. May ALLAH SWT protect the whole Muslim Ummah and keep his religion ISLAM always within hearts of every Muslim, for this world is only a fleeting time and hereafter is everlasting.

[@eesaabdurrahman1569]

@@michaelabbott9080 there are many videos making rational, philosophical arguments for the existence of God but I don’t rely on philosophy too much. I just ask, if there is no God then where did all of this come from? Doesn’t it make sense that there must be something uncreated that is the origin of existence? Read the Quran. It gives evidence such as the perfection of nature. Describing how mountains are like pegs in the ground to minimize the earth from shaking. There is also one’s own innate instinct towards belief in one Creator. We are veiled from the obvious reality of God’s existence a bit because this life is a test so we must make efforts to see beyond that veil. I suggest you read the Quran and pray for guidance to see what happens. Pray only to “God”, no images or ideas beyond that: the One God, the Unique, Self-sufficient Creator and Sustainer of all the Universes. It does take faith and effort but if God guides you then you will see. I am not one, however, to claim that I can prove this empirically via the scientific method. I do appreciate your skepticism.

@@michaelabbott9080 God exists because God is the explanation of why human beings have purpose (they were created on purpose). Without that, life would be meaningless, yet you do not ever meet people, even atheists, who live life as if it were meaningless. If they truly thought that they would have a Nietzschean worldview, and get away with whatever transgressions they could and see morality as made up to keep the otherwise strong weak. But 99% of atheists are not like this, instead they live life as if it had purpose. Why don't they live what they preach? Because deep down they know it's untrue. They know they are not accidents in this world. Okay, so some kind of creator of people happened, because we naturally view life as having purpose so we must have come into existence purposefully. Now how do we know anything about the creator? Well, there are various accounts of the Creator from various peoples and times. We can stack Islam up against any of those you wish. It will logically prevail, I am sure.

Transformation of the heart and soul through faith in a manner pleasing to Allah is the essence of Islam. Justice cannot be achieved without faith. This is exemplified in the methodology of our beloved Prophet (alayhis salam): serving the public by educating them spiritually and physically, strengthening their iman, providing guidance, mentorship, humanitarian aid and social services

[@fark69]

The Prophet also implemented corporal punishment on thieves and adulterers. The Prophet also captured and executed traitors to society. The Prophet BALANCED harsh justice when needed and forgiveness and mercy when beneficial. The idea that mandating hijab is not merciful or not correct because it's not teaching people why they should wear is wrong. They know why they should wear it. They know what it says on the Quran and what the reasoning is. These people just don't want to listen, and at that level, sometimes force is needed. The Prophet used force when needed, and so should any government or leader

There is a reckoning that needs to come and that first step has to do with protection and justice bc we are in absence of it and that’s why iman is low

[@themaskedakh]

Although this is true, May Allah forgive our men. But this doesn’t change the fact that proper hijab is mandatory no matter what.

[@fark69]

This is the minority of women. Majority of women are not abused in Muslim households or by Muslim community. The incidence of such things is even lower in the West, yet in the West you see the most women who "struggle" with hijab or don't want to wear it but still believe in Islam. So clearly, the two are not linked. It seems to me, much more clear, that wearing hijab in the West is difficult and we make a point (wrongly) to simply overlook not wearing hijab as not a big deal. Sure it's not a major sin, but in today's world where Quranic knowledge is easy to access and the fact of hijab being mandatory is very clear, the excuse to not wear it is very little and not wearing it is a clear sign of lacking belief in the commandments of Allah (swt). It's much easier than many other things Allah (swt) asks from us, like mandatory zakat, staying chaste until marriage, abstaining from drink, dancing, and most types of music, etc. But Muslims will do all these but then complain about hijab. I sympathize greatly for all who are abused or mistreated and it's a shame anyone allows this, but that is not the main thing behind the loss of hijab in the West. I don't think it is

However, I made sure to state that even though no punishment is stated for not wearing the hijab, it still is a commandment from Allah.

I am a woman who wears hijab. And it took a lot of strengths the first time I did wear it, living in the US. But hijab enforcements don’t sit well with me. In reality there is no such thing as a 100% muslim country, even if the country claims that statistics. The holy Quran tells us that is a blessing to be guided on the right path and that many will never be guided. This is Gods will, not man’s will. The Quran also sets out a general rule that there can be no compulsion of religion (forced religion). In my mind, requiring hijab for everyone is a compulsion into religion. And it takes away the beauty and strength of women who choose to wear hijab. When I first started wearing hijab I really felt like it was part of my jihad, my struggle. And I am proud to wear it. If every woman was forced to wear it my act and display of obedience to God becomes blended with all of those who only do it as an obedience to the law.

Ma'am, Quran says explicitly that hijab is for women's protection and safety. Do you not want women to be safe and protected or do you think Quran is wrong in saying this?

There is nothing extreme about enforcing hijab in Muslim lands. All school of thoughts in Islam agree that hijab is mandatory and to be enforced.

[@ebrahimjaffer2020]

@@hamzahr6838 The first injunction is that there is no compulsion in religion. The second aspect is that you should educate yourself and there are no limits in this regards So when you educate yourself and your women and children you wouldn't have to force anyone to follow Islam, it comes naturally out of education and logic The moment you force anyone to do anything, you are taking education out of the equation and hence all of their deeds are meaningless. That is what extremism is about. You force people to do it your way, because you are unable to elucidate the premise of your reasoning. When they don't listen to you, you then have to become violent, a downward spiral

[@hamzahr6838]

@@ebrahimjaffer2020 your first point makes your entire argument void and null. The Quranic verse "there is no compulsion in religion" refers prohibition of forcing non Muslims into Islam. Check when it was revealed and why it was revealed. It has nothing to do with prohibition of enforcing islamic laws in Muslim lands. Which is absurd! In other words what you are saying. In muslim lands, An individual should have the option of openly committing sins against the commands of Allah without being held accountable by the Muslim authorities. Yes there must be wisdom and a proper way on how to enforce it but say islamic law shouldn't be implemented is extreme in itself.

Commenting before actually watching this video. In my view as a non-Hjabi female Muslim in the West. No, I do not think that it should be enforced. Remember, there is no compulsion in Islam. You cannot beat or force anyone into becoming a Muslim, in the same vain you do not want to do the same for Hijab. A hijab is an ambassador of Islam and I get so embarrassed about some of the behaviour of some misbehaving Hijabis. In the UK, I've seen girls with Hijab and short skirts, sleeveless tops, doing and swearing all sorts of crazy things. These girls were only told to wear it not explained WHY, what it means, what it represents. First parents should work on teaching the reason for Hijab, work on developing character, then Hijab will flow on naturally.

[@alish577]

You are completely right. As a hijabi women in my precpective the hijab is a huge responsibility that may not be taken as seriously as it should.

[@shitturasheed3551]

We shouldn't mix religious duty with character. You can pray 5 times a day and still do sins. You can wear hijab and still be a bad girl. It is not unreal infact it's normal. Those two are separate things however, a good Muslim would do their religious duties and also be of good character and conduct and shun sins

[@manhaandmahirahossain8683]

I am completely agree with you.

[@Hashir198]

Salam Shaykh. With all due respect, I disagree with your first point. How can one just worry about themselves when there are commands by Allah to worry about one’s family. There are is also the hadith where the ummah is one body. We are responsible for more than ourselves. We are responsible for the wellbeing of the ummah at large. You take care of your self, your relatives, and your ummah.

[@fark69]

It doesn't make any sense. Hijab is for protection of women. We enforce all sorts of things for protection of women such as women-only cars on the train. We enforced masks and vaccination during the pandemic. We enforce wearing of seatbelts and helmets, etc. The real issue is that some women don't believe in hijab and some scholars would rather placate them than be honest about how Allah (swt) ordered this for their safety and if they wish to dispute that he will happily prove them wrong. If you believe it is protective as the Quran says, you won't have hesitation to wear it or have it enforced. If you don't believe then all these issues come about what is enforced and what is not. Almost every other good thing is enforced. We even enforce charity by forcefully taking taxes and giving it to the poor. But this one thing suddenly everyone turns around and says "Oh if you force someone they won't do it for the right reasons". So what? Why does that logic not apply to forced schooling, forced charity, forced safety, etc.

‘Don’t worry about something 5,000 miles away from you…ok’ Keep that same energy for all causes then. It makes me sad that many in the Islamic community selectively support causes. I support the Palestinian cause as well, but that is also 5,000 miles away, and my voice and sentiments will not make an immediate difference so are you saying I should stop? The Iranian people want freedom to live and practice religion on their own terms. What happened to there is no compulsion in religion? Is he saying it’s OK to beat people to death for being out of dress code? I need help to understand this justification of murder in “Islamic” regime…Islam…which also says that killing one person is like killing all of humanity. I can’t believe it…. There are women who are fighting to wear hijab and there are women who are fighting to take it off. Either way it’s not the governments business to dictate what a women decides wear or not wear on her head. Additionally, once a government starts enforcing an act of worship such as wearing the hijab or dressing a certain way- it actually has the adverse effect on the people who resist it. Instead of being inspired to be better Muslims and wear hijab on their own, they do it out fear of the government, not Allah SWT.

[@fark69]

1) She was not beaten to death. There is very clear video evidence of her collapsing untouched in a station after sitting still for quite some time alone. 2) There is no compulsion in religion is fine. You can be Christian or Jew or whatever. But every woman should wear hijab, just like every passenger in a car should wear a seatbelt. Just like every motorcycle driver should wear a helmet. The Quran tells us that hijab is for women's safety and protection. And a government who rules by Quran and accepts Quran as true will realize the logic that if something is good for women's safety and protection it should be enforced in society. 3) Force is not inherently bad. We force many people to do many things in society which are not great for them individually but are great for society as a whole. A great example is forced charity by taking tax and spending it on the needy. You don't have a right to choose to pay tax or not. It's forced on you by the state for the betterment of society. Same with dress code. Women may protest, but it will not change Quran and it will not change the sound logic of the hijab. 4) Nothing wrong with doing something out of fear of govt vs fear of Allah (swt) if that thing protects your personhood. Many wear seatbelts and helmets out of fear of getting a ticket vs out of the genuine true understanding that it is good for them.

[@melaniemendez3960]

I respectfully disagree- of course you would never expect such a regime to admit their wrongdoing. Additionally, in the last few weeks there have been more murders and protest crackdowns. You mention that hijab is good for womens safety, but do you know what else is good for their safety? Not beating, arresting, or imprisoning them for not wearing hijab. There are many more videos that show what is going on these protests over there and the police brutality is out of control. Is the policy over there to just beat/shoot/imprison anyone who disagrees or demands change? Seriously. What’s especially sad is that the people being killed and hurt are mostly young adults…that is the future of Iran. My goodness it’s sad…that the government would rather strike down their youth than be open to giving them choices 😢.

Very well explained. As an Indian and a convert to Islam, the rules of ethics and moral values are continued by us all. Nakedness, displaying bouncing boobs in public is the lowest of the low living. Yet hijab cannot be forced, especially on non-Muslims. Though, Muslim women must wear the Divine Uniform. Denying it one should stop using the title Muslim. Without uniform a policeman/woman cannot be on duty. Iranian Gov. should change the law and stop harassing women over hijab except decent clothing must be imposed for non-Muslims too. Nakedness cannot be allowed. As the Divine law is clear. H. Mary (RA) Mother of Messiah Jesus (AS) wore perfect Uniform of Hijab. Same was worn by all the Jewish women, and so Muslim women has continued the same according to the Divine Law./Salaam/peace.

Sura Anbiyaa, 21:91, “And remember her who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our Spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all people.” (Since we Muslims are reminded of the special virtues of The Blessed Virgin Mary/Hazrat Maryam, it is our choice to read and understand how well she guarded her chastity, (as she guarded her devout Faith), being a servant of Allah Almighty, who dressed herself for the love of Allah, not for herself). Free will is inherent to Islam; and no Ayatollah competes with God Almighty. Thank you for giving a historical context, Sheikh. Protection of people: Sura The Bee/Nahl 16:81, “It is Allah who made, out of the things He created, some things to give you shade of the hills He made for your shelter; He made you garments to protect you from heat, and coats of mail to protect you from your mutual human violence. Thus does He complete His favors on you, that ye May bow to His will in Islam (Full Submission to the Will of God Almighty, not our egos). Thanks for saying that we don’t need to get on other people’s bandwagons against supposed women’s oppression solely due to their disregard for our individual and Islamic ways of life-who respect varied lives, not just our own styles of living. Women can lose their inherent freedoms and dignity in ANY land, where clothing is a part of culture, or where half-nudity is a part of culture. Quranic Guidance simply protects women and men from the worst in ourselves.
