Elthugnificent:



[24:31] Say to the believing men that they restrain their eyes and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Surely, Allah is well aware of what they do.

There is nothing there as expected.



And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful”

I understand why Christians in Nigeria are all against this lady wearing a hijab to the bar. It is simply because the laws and traditions were copied from Britain, whom they share same religious beliefs with. Hence they are comfortable with the laws and do not see anything wrong with them. If it were the other way round, they would have been shouting of Islamisation and the likes. Their bigotry is unprecedented from their religious leaders down to the common people on the streets. You people should understand and accommodate diversity. I applaud her for bringing this to the fore. This will bring a change to the needless law afterall.

The law does not work with religious beliefs and sentiments. It is clear, plain and simple.

While the constitution allows for the right to practice your religion it also notes that the law supercedes any religion in the land. Nigeria is not ruled by Islamic law hence things relating to that shouldn’t have an effect and cannot be binding on the set aside rules created for the legal profession.

The same way a lawyer cannot tell an Imam how to run a mosque so will religion not be allowed to influence the law to suite a group of people.

What do you think will happen if everyone decides to attend such a ceremony in their full religious regalia? If she wants to wear her hijab in peace she should have studied Islamic law and go to the sharia court.
Can u do me a favour by viewing the pic of the lady in question again? Only someone with hate for her religion would say she has violated the dress code.She only covered her head and neck in the most meaningful way without tampering with the elements of the dressing;the wig,rope,gown etc.

I strongly believe there is a way the basic components of dressing for both major religions can be incorporated into professional careers.

Starting with Islam, the basics include:
1-Covering the head together with the neck
2-The arms
3-The legs
.....considering the above and using the law dress code as an example,it shouldn't be difficult accommodating these basics using the lady's appearance to justify no1,the use of sleeves for no2 and under-leggings (for whoever is comfortable with it) for no3.

As for the basics in the Christian dressing,considering the various denominations of Catholics(which I think is the only one that would require some clear modification to be accommodated),deeper life members, other Pentecostal and new generation church members,it includes(I stand to be corrected on this):
1-The scarf-attached cap
2-Their regalia
3-The cross
4-And others I may not know of.

....the above too can simply be accommodated by the law wig replacing the cap and the scarf used underneath it for no1, the law gown already has the similar design for no2, the cross could be used under the scarf for no3 and for whatever others I don't know about.

There is just too much islamophobia and gross intolerance to the Islamic religion on the part of our Christian counterpart.
THE RELIGION IS FOR PEACE,SO AM I!

bro I guess u are mixing things up here based on your ascertain. In legal processing as you suggested Constitution favours the young barrister than Ethics of Law extended by(NBA)
And how was your view different from my view? Can you quote my first post and highlight the area that you thought I mixed up?
I said that constitution is supreme over NBA dress code. I said that the lady has a case. I said she should head to court and get this controversy settled once and for all. I said that muslim girls have been winning cases in court over their rights to wear hijab.

If your religious beliefs forbid you from dressing in a particular way that members of a professional group dress, then it is first of all sinful for you to decide to belong to that profession in disregard to your religion and hope that they will change their standard of dressing to accommodate you. This is what we should be talking about, not about whether or not decision of Body of Benchers was right or wrong.

See your President's daughter last year when she was called to bar.

I have been to Turkey, a country that is 90% Muslim and and they hadly wear hijab. Are they going to hell by Naija Muslims standard.

Must everyone be like your president's daughter?

all the currently existing female lawyers and judges respect that dress code, even the decision to turn her back was made by a group of both Christian and Muslim members of the bench.
The fact that they abided by the existing dress code doesn't mean that the court can't rule in favour of the hijab lawyer. We're talking about the Nigeria constitution which supercedes any other law or code in the land. You will be surprised by the judgement.

Nothing is wrong with the hijab. But if the instruction says do not wear hijab then you either comply or forfeit.

Oya!! Tell us where the instruction says 'do not wear hijab'

see all these Islamaphobics talking nonsense, here is a case , a CAN of worm who refused to register a successful law graduate to practice in Nigeria because of their anti Islamism; the same successful girl is being admitted to practice in New York city the capital of the United States of America USA. which one is more preferred and I am very sure that anti Islam CAN of worm can never be admitted in the same way in the
U S or any other part of advanced world .

True!!!

I still ask...do they wear the hijab to capture for international passport? Or will they refuse to remove the hijab at the airport?

Muslims try to make everything about themselves and everything is not about them. Other religions comply to the set down rules. If not, they won't bother to study law in the first place.

Is it the hijab that makes them Muslims? Is their faith based on the hijab?

Muslims should stop making everything a religious issue. It is really not about them. The Law school did not set those rules and regulations to spite them.

Muslims are so insecure about their religion like an old man married to a young beautiful woman...always suspicious and ready to attack and protect.
