A muslimah in frustration

 

May be that was usage of a wrong word - {contaminate }.  Am very sorry that .

 

But i do vary your opinions again. SIster, { hayfa}, am not saying that even when there is a necessity, she cannot assist her husband financially. Who is asking her to starve ?  There may be necessity of work even for widows or divorcees too. On the other hand, they have an other option to get married again. Why do they not enable themselves with this "right" then, instead of going out and causing fitnah. { be it direct or indirect }.

 

And about the rules which you say get applied in an Islamic state -- Ahhhh !  Does that mean a muslimah, residing in a non-Islamic country  may or may not  wear hijab, can she speak to non-mahrams ,  can  use perfumes and thus, attract everyone around her, --- can do all those sorts which are to be implemented only in a islamic state ?

 

If so, then even Adultery and  drinking shud be haram in an Islamic state only. I don't understand on what basis is it said that these are the rulings only for an Islamic state.

 

Woman itself is a cause of temptation. So is she commanded to wear a hijab and come out when necessary. If you have read that link, you must have come across the verse wherein it is addressed to mother of believer to stay in there homes. At an other verse it is commanded to come out of necessity. I don;t  say that woman are to be in home always, They can come when necessity demands, but they are to be mindful of these conditions . I do respect these woman who work in hijab. I was answering shasta's aunt where she says that   there are no such conditions and they are made by me. Those links show up the conditions which are derived from Qur'an and sunnah .

 

Shasta's Aunt:

 

 

 

These opinions of mine and those who agree with my thoughts may be archaic to you, but remember teachings of Islam are never archaic.

 

Shasta's aunt :

 

 

May Allah SWT. guide all of us and help us in gaining knowledge that which is correct so that we implement it in our lives. Ameen

 

Am sorry for being tough but i had to be.

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, most of these verses only apply to middle, upper middle class and wealthy women.

 

If I do not go out and work I shall starve. This is the case for most women in the world.  It would be great to follow the Shirah if we lived in an environment that had the Shirah as its model. And no where does it exisit.

 

And then really, only the rich shall marry.. thus causing more fitna.

 

Now as a western person living in western society, I am quite stumped as to how a Muslim woman in hijab is the cause of "contaminating" society. In fact it might be the other way around as they are seen and visable and they can meet nonMuslims. We actually may cause one or two people to question the path they are on.

 

And considering the vase quanities are quite haram activity, the most decent thing may be those women in hijab. One never knows.

 

It may be the language.. but words like contaminate makes us seem like a bacteria. And I am not a germ thank you.
