Taking off Hijab after a week? Haram?

Question

Ok so i am 15 years old and i started wearing the hijab on Monday until Friday and i have been getting a lot of negative comments from people and cussing at me. so i want to take it off before something really bad happens like i get into a fight and get suspended for 10 days and everyones negative comments have made me in a depressed mode lately and i havent been concentrated on school work so would it be haram if i took it off next week and wore it after i finish high school because of ignorant people? i know Allah will forgive me for it if it is haram but i want other Muslims oppinions. Thank you :)

Answer 1

I'm not Muslim but I see nothing wrong with Hijab. It just covers your hair. Am I right about that? I could understand if you were to suddenly start wearing the Burka as westerners don't understand why women should have to completely cover themselves. It's just something we haven't had to deal with in our society really.

I would say that you do what you think is best to avoid making your life a misery.

Good luck.

This is odd. In the summer, Toronto gets really hot. I have a sensitivity to heat. I dehydrate really fast; so much so that I have to carry a litre of water with me everywhere and it doesn't last long. I have found that wearing a light hijab in the sun actually reduces the heat for me. Why doesn't she try a thin one, in white? Maybe it's not the best, since it shouldn't be see-through at all, etc., but she can only do what she can do; God understands better than we do. Ask her to try that. If she can't do it and keep her health then inshallah God will forgive her.

There is no such thing a "hijab" being a dress code for women! The only thing you must do is be a good girl. Keep your chest covered and be mindful of satan's whispers and don't listen to them.

The best garment is righteousness.

7:26-O Children of Adam, We have sent down for you garments to alleviate your bodies, and feathers; and the garment of righteousness is the best. That is from the signs of God, perhaps they will remember.

It does not matter what you wear in the sense of righteousness now of course keep covered your parts as God in the Quran says. But honestly what does that cloth on your head do for you. You can still hang with guys go drink at parties and do all the things evil with that on. Here in NYC where i live i see the girls wear all these clothes yet walk in groups with guys yelling acting slutty and cursing. So what purpose does this clothing serve. oh yeah I know NONE...My suggestion don't wear something God didn't tell you to wear!

I think if you truly loved Allah, then it wouldn't matter what other people said, you'd know in your heart that Allah is always with you and that He will punish them in there Hereafter. Alhamdulilah I haven't been bothered by anyone for wearing Hijab and I'm 16. I mean if your life is in danger then it's ok to not wear Hijab, but it doesn't sound like anyone is going to kill you because you wear it, so it's better if you wear it. Allah knows best and He makes things easier once you take the complete first step without backing out. Also with every hardship comes relief.

Answer 5

You are free to wear a Hijab but it is not obligatory. We live in an age where the stereotype of a Muslim is well and stubbornly in place, Hijab for women and beards for men. It is also very evident that we, as Muslims have gravitated towards the comfort of physical identity as a reaction to this uncalled wholesale blasting of Muslims. The reasons behind it are many and varied but unfortunately our response has been Johny one tone, digging our heels and reinforcing these stereotype is not helping the individual Muslim on the street but is empowering the leaders of religious sect. They are delighted to find a large majority of Muslims demonstrating the herd mentality, which suits the leadership just fine, the more herd like you are, the more easy to manipulate you are.



Our approach should have been and should be to try and diffuse the situation through the Islamic principles of moderation and peace. The more "in your face" you are going to be, the more "take that back" should be expected. Instead of concentrating on the Hijab and beard if we were to emulate the best example of the Prophet Pbuh by focusing more on God, the day of Judgment and remembrance of God as the verse Quran 33:21 clearly spells out and not twist it to mean physical appearance.



Once we are able to place the verses in context and act them out, then the qualities of Momins, the qualities of truthfulness, humbleness, generosity and courage for the right reasons will shine through. We must not spend our time forever explaining away why we look the way we look but to use the opportunity and attract non Muslims to Islam through who we are and not how we look.



Muslims must address these real concerns and encourage themselves to adjust to their surroundings and feel accepted and not rejected because of a misplaced notion that they will be less Muslim if they don't conform to the take of some sect leaders. The interest of leaders, any leaders is to raise armies, their interests lies in regimentation and not individuality rooted in the principles of Islam and true Sunnah.



Of course it is your God given right to wear It :)

Answer 6

Allah does not care what you wear or don't wear on your head.



Continue to not wear the hijab, but not because you're getting a hard time about it at school... rather, refuse to wear it because it is a form of oppression.

Answer 7

LaLa darling, I'm a Christian and have no belief that any old man who slept with a 9 year old little girl as your Prophet did can be called a good man but you have the right to wear your hijab and many Americans have fought and died in war for you to have that right. I believe that anyone who gives you a problem because of it is a hypocrite and bonehead.

Answer 8

People beat you up and you'll get suspended? Schools are strange





If you are too scared then don't wear it

Praise be to Allaah.



Firstly:



We understand the extent of the problem that you are suffering and the extent of the pressure you are facing to give up your religion and your commitment. This problem is not yours alone, rather it is a problem faced by thousands of Muslims who want to adhere to the teachings of this great religion, and want to live a moral life of honour and chastity, but they face many problems in their societies that, unfortunately, have deviated from Islam to a large extent and now look down upon and scorn those who adhere to Islam, and governments that cause trouble for those who are committed to Islam. Everyone knows what is going on in your country, the war against Islam and those who are committed to it. We ask Allaah to foil their plots and support His religion and His believing slaves.



Secondly:



“The reward of Allaah is precious, the reard of Allaah is Paradise.” Thus said the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and undoubtedly the precious reward needs a high price, and there is nothing more precious than Paradise. Hence the Muslim must accept that whatever difficulties he faces on his way to Paradise, they are to be expected, and in fact, no matter how hard it is, they pale into insignificance when compared with the delights that await him in Paradise.



This is what makes it easy for the Muslim to bear the calamities of this world and the difficulties that he faces on his path towards Allaah.



The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has told us that the most destitute of the people in this world, of those who will enter Paradise, will be brought and dipped once in Paradise, and it will be said to him: O son of Adam, did you ever see anything bad? Did you ever experience any hardship? He will say: No, by Allaah, O Lord. I never saw anything bad and I never experienced any hardship.”. Narrated by Muslim (2807).



The mind can imagine the state of this person, “the most destitute of the people in this world,” and imagine the worst of situations and trials, but one dip in Paradise will make him forget all that.



And the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has told us about the days of patience, and that the one who adheres to his religion at that time will be like the one who takes hold of a burning ember. Perhaps the current time is what the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) meant, so we have no choice but to be patient and put up with hardships and even confront them, otherwise we may lose out in this world and in the Hereafter:



“By Al‑‘Asr (the time).



2. Verily, man is in loss,



3. Except those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth [i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al‑Ma‘roof) which Allaah has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (Al‑Munkar) which Allaah has forbidden], and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allaah’s Cause during preaching His religion of Islamic Monotheism or Jihad)”



[al-‘Asr 103]
