How Should Women Dress In Front of Other Women? Sh.Fawzan/Sh.Uthaymeen/Sh.Albany
Shaikh Salih al-Fawzan was asked regarding women wearing extremely tight clothes, or open clothing that reveals large areas of the chest and arms, he replied:
“What is required from a woman is modesty and shyness, and that she is a good example for her sisters from the women, and that she should not reveal among women other than that which practising muslimaat [muslim sisters] are accustomed to uncovering among themselves. This is more deserving and encompassing, since leniency in uncovering that which there is no need to uncover may lead to [further] lenience which [eventually] leads to impermissible uncovering, Allahu ‘alam”.
Shaikh Salih al-Fawzan was also asked regarding women wearing tight clothing in the presence of other women only, he replied:
“No doubt that a women wearing something tight which highlights her body areas [bosom etc] is not permissible, it is not permissible except in front of her husband only. As for in the presence of others besides her husband then it is not permissible, even if it was in the presence of women only. Since then she will be a bad example for others if they see her wearing such [tight] clothes, and they will emulate her.
Additionally, she [the woman] is commanded to cover her ‘aura with ample and covering clothing from everyone, except her husband, she should cover her ‘aura from other women as she covers from men – except for that which is customarily accepted to uncover for women among women, such as the face, the hands, the feet, that which there is a need to uncover.”
[فتاوى المرأة المسلمة ص437 – 438]
Shaikh al-‘Uthaymeen was asked upon the ruling of women wearing short clothing in front of other women, he replied:
“It is not permissible for a woman to wear short clothes except if she was in her home and no-one was there other than her husband. As for in front of other people then it is not permissible for her to wear short or tight clothes, or transparent [thin, see-through materials] whereby it displays that which is behind it [the skin and body].”
[مجموع الفتاوى والرسائل م12]
Shaikh al-‘Uthaymeen was also asked regarding women wearing tight clothes in front of other women only, he replied:
“A woman wearing tight clothes that highlight the intimate areas [bosom etc] and make apparent that which has fitnah within it is impermissible…[later continued to say]…the tight clothing is not permissible in front of her mahaarim [any of those who are her mahram from the men] nor in front of the women if it is extremely tight making apparent her initimate areas.”
[فتاوى المرأة المسلمة ص417 – 418]
Indeed the women of the believers [sahaabiyyaat] were at the pinnacle of purity and chastity, modesty and shyness through the blessing of eemaan in Allah and His messenger and in the Qur’an and Sunnah. The women of that time wore covering clothing, and it was known from them that they would not uncover in front of their mahaarim or other women [other than the habitual areas such as the face, hands, feet and such], and this practice continued within the women of Islam generation after generation until recently when corruption in regards to clothing and mannerisms entered into the women.
We advise the women to have characteristics of shyness and modesty which is a branch of Eemaan itself, and from that modesty – Islamically speaking and customarily – is the woman covering herself and removing herself from any situation of fitnah. So what is upon the women is to abide by that which the Mothers of the Believers and the women of the companions were upon in terms of modesty and shyness.
[Paraphrased from speech of the Permanent Committe of Scholars].
Shaikh al-Albany stated regarding this subject, “The areas of wudu [head/face/neck, hands/forearms, feet], these are the areas of beautification that a women may make apparent in front of her muslim sister”.

Ikhlaas and Not Showing off, whether a Scholar or Laymen- Shkh Muhammad b. Haadi- relayed by @ABDULILAH_UK
An important reminder, to be sincere and grounded, and not to show off regarding your actions; no matter how many people follow you or take from you in terms of da’wa.
This reminder has come to us at a crucial time in which we see many people entering into the dawah and religion of Allah. Alhamdulillah the blessings in this dawat-us salafiyyah are great. But we must always remember that anything that is achieved is by the tawfique of Allah and his mercy first. Our effort is very little in comparison to Allah’s immense favour and Mercy upon us to even allow us to be a part of it.
So we should strive as hard as we can to aid this call to Islam; working deligently in this dawah – and we ask Allah to reward us fully – all of us – and not to hold us to account for the things we fall short in.

Today’s Lectures of Ustaadh Abu Hakeem, Ustaadh Amjad and Ustaadh Abu Idrees
Assalaamu alaykum warahmatullaah;
Indeed brothers and sisters, this conference was filled with tremendous advises for the family. Ustaadh Abu Hakeem’s (may Allaah preserve him) lectures based on Ibn Jawzi’s (rahimahullaah) advice to his son manifested the great concern a father should have for his children. Ustaadh Abu Idrees’s (may Allaah preserve him) lecture on the family focused greatly on the role of the parents in hastening to take the lead in obtaining the reward of Allaah in this dunyah and the aakhirah. Ustaadh Amjad’s (may Allaah preserve him) lecture addressed different affairs of tarbiyah, especially the fact that we should occupy our children with the religion of Allaah.
Indeed they mentioned beneficial things related to the Aakhirah and the Dunyaa. They mentioned ways and means of aiding our families in both their deen and dunyah affairs. They mentioned the true love and compassion we should nurture within our families and that we co-operate upon righteousness and piety. They mentioned the harmful affairs our families may face and how to repel them. And that we should lead by example. May Allaah reward all the brothers for taking time out to advise us with beneficial affairs in this life and the next. These lectures must be obtained and kept as a source of reminder.
And Allaah knows best

Poem: The Righteous Husband
Poem: The Righteous Husband
He is a protector and like a lion when the need should arise,
Abusiveness and oppression is not that upon which his manhood relies.
His words are kind, gentle, and soft upon her ear,
Yet clearly spoken and loud enough for her heart to hear.
He comes home to his wife with contentment and anticipation,
Being very attentive to her needs, endowing upon her total elation.
He fears his Lord, The Most Merciful and Sublime,
By being mindful and aware of how he provides her the time,
To have peace and relaxation of her soul, her body, and her mind.
He is the friend and companion the one whom she will always admire,
Protecting not only himself but also her from the fire.
He is the one who’s hard to find all throughout the land,
The favor and blessing from her Lord, The Righteous Husband.

Dealing With a troublesome Husband–Question to Imaam Bin Baaz
Question:
Even though my husband – may Allaah forgive him – is a person of good character and fears Allaah, yet he does not treat me with kindness. He is always moody, frowning and troubled at heart – and he often says that I am the cause of this. However, Allaah knows – and all praise is for Allaah – that I do fulfill his rights and try to bring to him tranquility and peace of mind and I try to stay clear of all that which displeases him, whilst patiently bearing his excesses against me. Every time I ask him about something, or speak about a particular matter, he becomes angry and says that my speech is stupidity – even though I know that he is perfectly happy in the company of his friends and associates. However, when it concerns me, then he does not treat me in the same manner, nor with the same feeling. This causes me great hurt and anger and I have often considered leaving the house. I have – and all praise is for Allaah – been educated to a good level and fulfill that which Allaah has obligated me with. O noble Shaykh! If I leave the house with my children, try to educate them and live my own life, will I be sinful in doing so? Or should I continue to live in my present circumstance, abstain from speaking and continue patiently bearing these difficulties? Please advise me as to what I should do – and may Allaah reward you with goodness.
Answer:
There is no doubt that it is obligatory for the husband and wife to live together in a kind and sociable manner. There should be good manners and treatment between them, along with affection and pleasant behaviour, as Allaah -The Mighty and Majestic- says:
وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
‘’And live with them in honour and in kindness.’’ [Soorah An-Nisaa: 4:19]
And His – the Most Perfect- saying,
وَلَهُنَّ مِثْلُ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ۚ وَلِلرِّجَالِ عَلَيْهِنَّ دَرَجَةٌ ۗ
‘’And the wives have rights over the husbands – similar to those of the husbands over them – in that which is reasonable. But men have a degree over them.’’ [Sooratul-Baqarah 2:228]
The Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘’Righteousness is good character.’’ [1] And he (Sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) then said: ‘’Do not consider any good action as insignificant- even if it is meeting your brother with a cheerful face.’’ [2] And he (sallallaahu -alayhi wa sallam) also said, ‘’The most perfect of Believers in eemaan (faith) is the one with the best character. And the best of you are those that are best to their women-folk, and I am the best amongst you to my family.’’ [3] There are besides these many other ahaadeeth which are a general proof for the encouragement of good character, cheerful meeting and good companionship between Muslims. If this is the general case between Muslims, then good treatment between husband and wife and relatives is even more important. You have done well in patiently persevering and bearing the ill treatment and bad character from your husband. However, I advise you to have even greater patience and not to leave the house, and if Allaah – the Most High – wills, there will be a great deal of good in this and a praiseworthy end for you.
Allaah – the Most Perfect- said:
وَاصْبِرُوا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ
‘’Patiently persevere! Indeed Allaah is with those who patiently persevere.’’ [Sooratul-Anfaal 6:46]
And His – the Mighty and Majestic- saying,
ۖ إِنَّهُ مَنْ يَتَّقِ وَيَصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
‘’Indeed whosoever fears Allaah, obeys Him, turns away from disobedience and patiently perseveres, then Allaah does not cause the rewards of the doers of good to be lost.’’ [Soorah Yoosuf 12:90]
And His – the Mighty and Majestic- saying,
إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
‘’Only those who patiently persevere shall receive their reward in full without reckoning.’’ [Soorah-Zumar 39:10]
And His – the Most Perfect – saying,
فَاصْبِرْ ۖ إِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
‘’So patiently persevere! Indeed, the end will be good for those who are pious.’’ [Soorah Hood 11:49]
However, this does not prevent you from speaking to your husband with such words, and behaving with him in such a manner, that will soften his heart- and lead to him being pleased with you and fulfilling your rights of companionship. And as long as he is fulfilling the main and important obligations towards you, then try not to ask him for any worldly need, until his heart is opened and his chest is expanded in accepting your request and fulfilling your needs; in this way – if Allaah wills your ending will be a praiseworthy one. May Allaah grant you increase in all that is good, and that the condition of your husband improves, and that he is guided to good character, kindness in companionship and to fulfilling the rights that are due upon him. Indeed Allaah is the best of those who are asked, and only He guides to the path that is straight.
