Ruling on the one who mocks a Muslim woman wearing the proper Islamic Hijab (veil)

Q 2: What is the ruling on someone who mocks a Muslim woman wearing the proper Islamic Hijab (veil) or describes her as being a ghost or a moving tent and other such insulting words?

A: Anyone who mocks a Muslim man or woman for adhering to the Shariah (Islamic law) is a Kafir (disbeliever).

This is regardless of whether they are making fun of a Muslim woman wearing the proper Islamic Hijab or any other matter of the Shari…ah.

…Abdullah ibn …Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated:

During the campaign of Tabuk a man said in an assembly, …I have never seen anyone like these Qur‘an readers of ours. They have the biggest bellies, the most lying tongues and they are the most cowardly when encountering the enemy.‘

Another man said, …You are lying, and you are a hypocrite. I will most certainly tell the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) [what you have said].‘ The news was reported to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), then the Qur‘an was revealed (concerning this incident).

…Abdullah ibn …Umar said, …I saw him (that man) hanging onto the saddle of the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah, (peace be upon him), stumbling over the stones while saying, …O Messenger of Allah, we were just jesting and playing.‘

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was reciting the Qur‘anic Ayah (verse): Was it at Allah (Exalted and Sublime), and His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His Messenger (peace be upon him) that you were mocking? Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had believed. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you because they were Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals.)

Thus, ridiculing the believers is equated with ridiculing Allah, His Signs and His Messenger.

May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!

Aameen!

This is one of the mistakes some Muslims make! They joke with some Islamic pillars or adab like Salah, Hijab, beard, Trouser above the ankle, etc.

May Allah protect us from using our unseriousness to eat away our good deeds bank!

Please, what is the actual sanction or, the punishment for this mockery? It's not entirely clear from the write-up.
It suggests that if a believer does so, they become an unbeliever - is that right?

Is there a specific penalty for this (mocking), or is it the a prescribed penalty for unbelief more generally (what is that by the way)?

Allahu Akbar! May Allah forgive those mocking the women in ijabs.

I can remember when NPF banned it during kabooom kabooom

I hope the punishment is not death as usual?

Although I'm not a Muslim but nothing should warrant mocking women who use hijab or dress in other similar manner. It is lack of maturity or it's the act of barbarism to mock people who choose to dress for religious or modesty purpose or for some other personal reasons. Even we have Christians who use some sort of veil and it's very common to see Christian ladies who dress like the lady depicted in the post. Mockery indicates lack of tolerance which is an hallmark of hatred and a depraved mind.

There is a ruling for everything

Penalty for expression?

In this our world, there is freedom of speech, fully supported by the UN charter and Nigerian constitution...freedom of speech, freedom of expression. stop spreading extremism, the world is not about you and everyone is not like you, there are hundreds of religions out there. Nairaland do remove posts that encourages extremism, remember the story of Deborah.

What's the ruling on bandits and terrorists. . I thought lions shouldn't bother about opinions of sheep. Bothering is being petty.
Ps: there's nothing religious about the hijab , the uniform is a mode of dressing among the Arabs, it's like asking the ruling on a Caucasian male wearing agbada... the man wasn't made for the cloth, Rather the cloth was made for the man . If u re abused for something, it's due to their ignorance. It isn't your ignorance. No need to get emotional about ignorance of another due to a choice you made out of ignorance you assume was a religious pious dresscode. The dead worrying about the dead

While I am one with your comment on the matter I should think that it is wise to refrain from conduct that draws the ire of Muslims especially in Nigeria where proven genocide against Christians is denied by the Government who have been known and shown to be complicit in the main or by default in failing to deal decisively with the genocide for whatever reason.

LET THERE BE RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE,
LET THERE BE TOLERANCE TOWARDS MOCKING
NO TO RELIGIOUS CAPTIVITY
NO TO RELIGIOUS SLAVERY

There are versions of this outfit which are repugnant to human nature and targeted at denying women any identity whatsoever as well as designed to deprive them of normal social interaction, and all good people must condemn such barbaric outfits.

Well done France and others for banning them.

PS: I refer to the "Ninja" outfit which covers all except the eyes. (The Burqa)

this hijab


i wany to ask

is it the islamic world that invented it?

or some other people like assyrians ,syrians byzantine have been using it?


if they haave been using it , is it cultural or religious?


is hijaab better thaan burqua?


can we find the word hijab and burqua in the Quran?

If looking at a woman arouse a man hence the hijab, so an hijaabi woman. Looking at a man can't she get arouse?

Asalam !

I’m a Ahmadiyah Muslim

This topic caught my attention….A woman under veil accused me wrongly when I was young that I called her a Masquerade which I did not but rather taking cover in a Conner she was passing from a children mocking masquerade that day

This type of mentality is what is fueling the extremism, and indoctrination of the vulnerable northern kids and teens. This is the same reason why there are so many killings...I think, the ire should be directed to bokoharam and iswap, who have really done a lot of damage...or to Trump who wants to come ablazing... freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of association, freedom of religious choices, are sacred freedoms, that the world can go to battle for.

Do not infringe on other's rights just to please yourself and your convictions, there are yours, not for everyone. Religious laws and statutes are not part of the freedom charter statutes.

The hijab was not even part of Islam, it was Umar Then their prophate introduced it because of his companion Umar use to spy on one of the prophet wife Saudat, when she go to poo. And Umar ask Momo to tell his wives to be covering theirselves like Jews when going for call of nature in the bush, as you know before no toilet system like in the villages

The usual rulling in your book is death,abi no be so?! May you all be saved in Jesus name.

So what does the ruling say should be done to the person na
It seems you guys are now even afraid to spell out your rulings in plain English
Tell us so we can learn and be guided accordingly 🤔

@Amoto94, lukgaf, Lukuluku69, AntiChristian pls help to clarify for our audience to be properly guided in this matter. The Op is not clear

So, it’s just regular humans playing God with these rulings on everything? Why can’t they just focus on the words of the holy book and take it for what it is? Instead of rulings in every day life. Sounds like they are now living gods, all the imams involved in this. These rulings, I hope they are restricted to Muslims only. Not people of other religions who don’t even know these rulings exist and do not practice Islam.

Hijab is cultural wear to protect against the sun and sands in the desert. The men that ride camels in the desert also have something similar. The female one was transformed to become a religious item. People of all faiths and tribe used to use head coverings like hijab in desert areas.

but they should force women to wear it, and not mock other people's too for not covering their hair

No ruling on one who kills his fellow muslim for not joining the Jihad against non-Muslims. No ruling for one who does crime against non Muslim.

That part was concealed by simply calling him a name, Kafir. Later he can be secretly say anyone called a kafir should be dealt with. Not good.
