Muslim women don't have to wear veils

[umm hussain]

ROME (AFP) - Islam does not require women to wear veils, Queen Rania al-Abdullah of Jordan has said in an interview, calling on Muslim moderates to "make their voices be heard."

"Islam neither requires one to be practising, nor to dress in one way or another," the stylish 36-year-old queen told the Italian daily Corriere della Sera during a visit to Rome on Friday.

"So imposing the veil on a woman is contrary to the principles of Islam," said Queen Rania, who is in Rome for the launch of a Group of Seven (G7) programme to develop vaccines against diseases that are endemic in poor countries.

"Unfortunately, after all the suspicion weighing on Islam, many people have begun to consider the veil as a political problem, but this is not the case," she told Corriere. "Wearing the veil is a free personal choice."

Queen Rania urged "all moderates to stand up and let their voices be heard."

She added: "Many people are frustrated in the Arab world. Many give in to the anger because they are accused of violence. But instead we should get up, explain who we are and what we believe in.

"Over the last three years, most victims of terrorism have been Muslim. So there's not a war between Muslims and non-Muslims, but between extremists and moderates of all the religions," the queen said.

"What is important is not to live in fear. The most dangerous (thing to do) is to give up and lose hope. The main enemy is not terrorism or extremism, but ignorance," she said.

Well said...This fits the definition of ignorance perfectly. She is ignorant and so are the people that believe her. And this is what I address at school, work, and at the MOSQUE(ironically); Where are the facts? Produce the facts that Islam doesn't require a woman to wear the veil? I'm not saying she has to wear the veil...that's not my problem...she is responsible for her deeds and Iam responsible for mine. I pray for her and all the muslims for guidance. amin

We make such issues out of petty things! We should be focusing on things such as getting people to learn how to read. Especially learning Arabic. Did you know that nearly all of Al Qaeda's followers are illiterate? That explains a lot.

Also, so many Muslims don't know this religion. Missionaries and others lie a lot about Islam, and the ignorant Muslim thinks that the Qur'an actually says: "Kill all non-Muslims in order to get 77 virgins".

We should be focusing on these things, THEN worrying about petty issues such as which source to rely on for moon sightings and hijabs.

[virtualeye]

AssalaamuAlaikum,

According to this Islam traitor Rania:

No women can wear hijab even voluntarity. But snaching her Hijab and not letting her enter the school or the office is very good.

Not letting letting any women come out for jobs in Afghanistan is a severe suppression of women and its suffocation for them. While selling the bodies of women in whore houses, showing their naked legs in -45 C and raping and killing them in the west is "Civilized society".

Did this 'selfmade Mufti' Rania ever say anything about the women being made sex object in the West? Did she ever spend a single calorie of energy against the country which has the highest number of rapes of women? i.e. one rape in every few seconds.

I think its pointless to talk about such ignorant persons. We should only try to spread Islam. These ignorant ones will automatically get their rewards either positive or negative according to the niyah which they have in mind and their deeds, from Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala. What we should do is spread the Quran and the Sunnah ?

" The wise man does not argue or seek to overcome with strategem rather he propagates his wisdom. If accepted he praises Allah, if rejected he praises Allah "

[heartbeat]

subhan allah.. queen noor should have been talking about those muslims under siege in her native palistine.
Now, in Italy in one of those top models events, she is imposing her self as a an islamic scholar with an authority to talk about a matter that is very subtile.
personally, i whould have found her more appealing to me if she wore hidjab in her picture to that Italian news paper.

why should i follow a scholar if i speaks agains quran and sunnah?

if thousand scholar say that salat is not fard , so should we leave salat or what?

we should follow scholar and also have to search from where they quote those things.

[justoneofmillion]

assalamu aleikum, i know that as a muslim i have no right to judge any other believer but it``s been quite a long time that i occationaly hear these kind of comments from her what`s wrong with these people? what`s their goal what is thier aim?making the brothers and sisters who abide by god`s law look ridiculus? unneducated?or are they searching for some applauses or recognition? when men are weak or sick they turn to god asking for help when their stomach is full and they feel strong they start doing shirk.we need to get rid of these tyrans and their sponsors in the muslim countries from marroco to indonesia they are all dictators and they have to learn that the same countries that are supporting them now will at the end turn against them like they did with saddam. and they will find no support from the population just like the quran says about people betray you when they think you are losing and then say we were with you when you win. islam will win it will prevail with or without the muslims even if the unbelievers may not like it even if they hate it despit of the propaganda machine the media lobbys news papers insults and statements from so called intelectuals islam is the fastest growing religion in the world! what more proof do you need? the quran describes thes kind of haters in amazing detail let the plan and allah is the best planner. `` al yaouma akmaltu lakum deenukoum wa attmamtu aleikum nimati wa radeitu lakum al islama deenan" sadaqa llahu al adim

I agree with you 200% akhi (brother), couldn't have said it any better. I don't worry and let these kinds of things get into my skin. Islam is a beautiful religion and everything thing you need know about how to live is stated correctly and properly by God (Allah)

She's right in that the veil should never, ever be forced on a woman. It should always be a womans choice. But Rania is known for being very "fashion forward". The Jackie O of the Middle East. So I'm not surprised that she'd say that.

[IslamIsLight]

I'm just so fed up with people interpreting Islam in their own ways,why they just don't leave muslims alone.I'm sick of peoples' egoism and the way of thinking .Some woman just told me today,that muslim women making themselves humiliated in front of sociaty and in front of their husbands,by wearing hijab,that they think that they are smart and educated ,but they are not and that they judge other women for not wearing a hijab.I am a muslim and so proud to be a muslim,that no matter if all the world hates me and humiliating me ,I will stay this way always,inshaalah....
If Allah says to wear a hijab ,or what I have to do,I will do it,because I trust him and because I love him more then anyone...

[sister harb]

Interesting topic... "Muslim women don´t have to wear veils". I am westerner muslim who use hijab/veil, not because I have to but because I want to.

your sister in Islam
sister Harb

[umm hussain]

She's right in that the veil should never, ever be forced on a woman. It should always be a womans choice.

Islam first and foremost isnt about choices it is about submission to the creator.
“It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allaah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allaah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed into a plain error”[al-Ahzaab 33:36]

There is no difference of opinion among the Muslim scholars that it is obligatory for a woman to cover her hair, neck and arms, and it is not permissible for her to take off her hijab. The only difference in opinion is the niqab.

If women should never be forced to wear hijab why sould the same people force women to take off the hijab, i.e in Government offices, schools etc. So is it really about choices or to support an Agenda????

[NewMuslim]

snip

As Salaamu Alaykum
Islam is purely about choices.

Let there be no compulsion in religion... (Qur'an 2:256)

To you be your religion, and to me mine (Qur'an 108:5)

Let him who wishes to believe, do so. Let him who wishes to disbelieve, do so (Qur'an 18:29)

The verse you pointed out doesn't contradict. It simply states that we should not do something, and if we did we'll be in the wrong. It never says to force someone to do it. That's what free will is all about.

You cannot force Islam upon a person, or that person will just be following his fathers (so to speak). Islam forbids that a person follows something only because others are doing it. The Qur'an mentions this in numerous places.

While it is true that women should wear Hijab, NO one should force her to, or can force her to. The Qur'an says that we cannot force anything upon anyone. We are to let people decide what they want to do themselves. If they do the wrong thing, then they'll suffer the consequences. Our job only is to warn them.

[Noor to shine]

:salam2:
I think in an islamic society were people are educated (following) islamic values the natuarl choice of women will be Higab (and a complete veil) but in an islamic society the media should not promote unislamic values ......The problem our world is facing is that media and all that is feeding minds is totally unislamic .....not only unislamic but immoral and unhuman...If people were left to their Fitra (natural state) they will choose modesty and purity as Allah swt planned .........In the absence of heavenly values satanic values will dominate.........I think that our world is thirsty to the true Islam .

Sorry for any spelling mistakes

Maybe she knowns the truth? but is just trying to ease the thoughts of non muslims at muslims?

Salaam aleikum

Even if she knows, and just tries to be "eatable" for the West, its still not correct. Its maybe even worse.

Now, people tells us muslimahs, "why bother with hijab, Queen of Jordan says its not a must in islam". I heard it at work the other day. Well, I said, she is not a scholar, to say things like that. They say, "maybe not, but she is a muslim woman, we should listen to the women"... So, they cant listen to me, when I say hijab is a must, but they can listen to her, when she say its not... :s

[Globalpeace]

Asslamo Allaikum,

I think the title says it all....

Why does anyone who needs to get back in the papers or thinks that they are a “Celebrity” think that it is their God-given right to start issuing Fatwas?

No doubt; they will be loads of celebrity worshipping (stars in their eyes) Muslims around the world who will start quoting her as the authority on Qur’aan & Sunnah

[The_truth_pls]

Well, its quite obvious she'd rather change islam than change herslef. A stooge from a family of stooges. Regardless in perfect honesty what does hijab really matter in real life? I have seen chicks wearing hijab doing Kabirah sins, :astag: in that respect hijab is insignifcant for me personally, I wouldnt think of a women wearing a hijab better than the one not wearing one.

[Globalpeace]

Asslamo Allaikum,

Some people like her seem to have a "miscarraige"

[Mrmuslim]

salaam alikom

Isnt what we are doing is Khibha, every one is calling her this and that Yes we all know what she said is Wrong, but whats the point of keep talking about her like this? move on....

We should look in to our mistakes first before we start talking about others, its not like we have never done anything wrong.

As Mabsoot said Say Allah Yahdiha (Allah guide her) he guided worse people than her.

wa salaam alikom.

[Globalpeace]

Asslamo Allaikum Brother,

Yes you are right that we should not do Gheeba (back-bite) & first of all I am Sorry....BUT if someone has done something wrong (or in this case attacked Islam) OPENLY then it should be condenmed OPENLY & that is the ruling from the Qur'aan & the Sunnah.

I could care less what "Her Majesty" does in her personal life BUT she has no right to start dictating the Shariah to me or others.

So yes we should make dua for Allah (SWT) to guide her; but others MUST be told that her opinion is incorrecr & she has no right to meddle in the Qur'aan and the Sunnah

P.S: With the utmost respect; and off course you have the right to disagree.

[Mrmuslim]

walikom salaam

she Attacked Islam !? now she attacked Islam by saying Hijab is not Fard ?

How we know that what ever she is saying is not out of Ignorance? and that she dosnt know the Islamic rulling on this? this beside the point...its my opinion..


أخرج الإمام البيهقي بسنده في شُعَب الإيمان إلى جعفر بن محمد قال: إذا بلغك عن أخيك الشيء تنكره فالتمس له عذرا واحدا إلى سبعين عذرا، فإن أصبته، وإلا، قل لعل له عذرا لا أعرفه.

The meaning: from Imam Albiehghi from Jafar bin Mohammed said:
If you heard about your brother something you dont like, find for him one excuse to seventy excuses, and if you couldnt find any excuse just say he might have an excuse which I dont know

any way jazaakom Allah Khiran

I understand it's something God tells women to do, but to me it seems like it would be an insult to God to wear the hijab without meaning it and being fully convinced of it. If and when a Muslim woman wears hijab it should be for the right reasons, not because someone is forcing her to do it. That's what I meant when I said a woman shouldn't be forced into it.

[Habasha Sister]

We have Quran and Sunnah to tell us what to do and what not, Alhamdullilah, so we don't bother on what a person says, anyways May Allah lead her and us ameen.

[Globalpeace]

Asslamo Allaikum,

After knowing her & her family's (biological and married) historical background and their "contributions to Islam" and judging it in the context of UNIVERSAL efforts to marginalise Islam particualrly in the light of Beijing 5 & Cairo conferences; I doubt what she said "is a mistake" or out of "lack of knowledge"

If you guys cast your mind back to 9/11; there was a rally lead by her against the attacks & I heard the interviews of the PR firm (in London) which advises them (her & husband) because "they are not familiar with Arab & Islamic culture and tradition"...PR firm works in addition to the Arab advisors in Jordan who also do the same thing...So her appearences and words are checked to esnure that they are according to "Royal Protocols" and nothing is being breached...(Similar to Queen of England)...

If you read her interviews in different magazines & TV stations around the world then you will realise that she says quite a bit of stuff which is Anti-Islamic.

If Brothers/Sisters are willing to consider a choreographed, rehearsed and twice edited (Jordanian advisors and then British) words coming from not a common revert but from the member of a royal family of a sovereign nation to be a “mistake” or dismiss it as being “lack of knowledge” then I suppose...

Everyone has a right to an opinion and Masha'Allah may Allah (SWT) reward all nice mannered, sincere, straight and innocent Brothers/Sisters (including Br Mabsoot) as their advice is welcome and based on sincerity.

[Destiny_Jannah]

I'm not surprise to hear these ignorant comments.

But over here, there is tv show call "behind the story" usually they talk about issues related to Muslims ( mostly what I have notice last of couple of months). there was this non-muslim lady who said muslim women are not require to cover up. i sent a message asking her to show me the prove since she isn't a muslim. She never response.

people (muslims) need to go back to the Qur'aan and the Sunnah rather than following what their forefathers followed.

[Globalpeace]

Not being sarcastic at all...Just love the innocence & sincerity ozzing through my screen when I come to TTI.

i don't think any muslims believes that killing any innocent life will give him 77 virgins, but know one thing this is the believe of the westerners. this is there stereotypeing about islam, but i don't believe any muslim thinks or believe such words, even if he doesn't understand much about islam, the first thing a muslim person learns is the meaning of islam, and islam means peace.. and u said the veil is not a big issue, no the veil is really a big issue, because so many women think that they don't need it,

[Globalpeace]

Asslamo Allaikum,

Sorry Brothers/Sisters...

But this one always makes me laugh particularly when a revert couple of years ago asked me, "What I am supposed to do with all those women Brother, I mean one is enough isn't it"?

He was being serious.

salaam allaikum

I agree we should not Force People Into doing anything, and if we feel theres something wrong or someone said something against Quran and Sunnah then as a muslim its Our Duty to Advice Him/Her once to follow Quran and Sunnah and make Dua for them. Talking this way on this Forum will just add up Sins on Geeba , and dont force anything on anyone , ya i agree it feels bad when any Brothers or Sisters in Islam is not following Quran and Sunnah but we are not the one to Guide Others its Allah who Guides . But we are just to Advice Once thats our Duty . the Big Problem Lies in The Todays World is That Majority of Muslims Do not Fear and have forgot about Allah and the Day of Judgement. and no country is following Shariah Law completely so there iis no Judge on anything. and anyway if after advice a person doesnt listen then its them whos goin to be accountable for their sins not Us. so the best thing DUA for Muuslim Ummah


I hope i made sense but anyway this is my opinion


salaam allaikum

[Ahmed_2000]

salaam allaikum

77 Virgins is the weak hadith, which some Non Muslim dont Know. Well they dont Know anything About Islam. and other Non mulims are ignorant so I guess best thing is to first Educate our Muslim Ummah About Islam then bother About what Non-Muslims are Sayin or Attacking Islam. because more than 60% of muslims cant Speak Arabic and many cant even Read Arabic. In many Non Arab Countries People Are Jus Reading Translation and they are satisfied with that , and due to this fact there are times when you dont get perfect meaning of the Verse. as you must have notice that understanding the Reall Quran which is in Classical Arabic is way more stronger in meaning than translation of arabic. One Big Example is if You Ask Born Muslims about what Salaam allaikum Means , many will start guesiing and they dont know what it means , this shows that how much Born muslims can understand from Arabic Quran. i mean Born muslims from Non - arabic Countries.

and about Hijab will be the same Educate muslims so they know why they wearing Hijab. dont just force them to wear hijab. Quran asks Women to Wear it but at the same time we are supposed to let women know why they wearing Hijab . as You know islam is about Rights Limits and Reasoning and there are people in west who are trying to change Quran so its our duty to Educate all Muslims. and Hijab doenst mean that you just wear loose clothes and scarf . it even means that you lower your gaze as wel this thing applies to Mens as well . so Hijab is necassiry yes its not choice but that doesnt mean You Force . it means you inform womens about why they wearing Hijab.

salaam allaikum

[Ahmed_2000]

salaam allaikum

and remember thePrinciple of Prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H)

if you see Some Big Fitnah, oppression, Injustise , then stop with your Hand means that take action against it. that doesnt mean To fight with people ,no


then if you cant do that stop with your mouth Means verballly and if you cant do that then feel bad in you heart and thats the lowest thing you can do


but here discusssing on forum about the lady is not gonna do much benifet . its better you talk to people directly who wants to change something in Quran or Sunnah.

yeah, I guess Mabsoot is right on this one. We all know that she doesn't have the right background to make any kind of religious ruling. Let's make du'a that she doesn't mislead any people and that Allah Ta'ala guides her in the right direction.

i guess she dosen;t know how to follow (read) quran
or she want to dress like how she is now
and call it islamic way
i guess she should ask her family member am i look muslimah or the women who wearing veil (niqab)
may allahtala forgive me and all muslim
we can't judge people

She's right in that the veil should never, ever be forced on a woman. It should always be a womans choice. But Rania is known for being very "fashion forward". The Jackie O of the Middle East. So I'm not surprised that she'd say that.

Salams , sorry Kayleigh, but hijab is not a chice for women , it had been order for us to wear it by Allah talaa' if we dont wear it , it is concidered a sin.
As for Queen Rania she is not an authority in Islam that we can take, inshallah Allah talla' guides her, and all of us for that matter Ameen.

[junaid hasan]

ROME (AFP) - Islam does not require women to wear veils, Queen Rania al-Abdullah of Jordan has said in an interview, calling on Muslim moderates to "make their voices be heard."


Is she sheikhul islam or what?

[um_mustafa]

I understand it's something God tells women to do, but to me it seems like it would be an insult to God to wear the hijab without meaning it and being fully convinced of it. If and when a Muslim woman wears hijab it should be for the right reasons, not because someone is forcing her to do it. That's what I meant when I said a woman shouldn't be forced into it.

sorry , still dont agree with that , we as muslims have to forbid what is wrong and enjoin what is right, else the mercy of Allah talaa' won't be with us, if it were me and my daughter did not obey allah's command, I being her gurdian would have to stop her leaving the house with out wearing hijab , we have a responsibility before Allah, and we have to live up to our responsibilities .
We are muslims and should be very proud of it and we have to portect our families with guidence and understanding,
hamdulilah in my house my girls have not had a problem with wearing hijab because i think we have bought them up with the right attitude(inshallah).

[Salem9022]

I remember a long time ago she said that she doesn't believe in Hadiths, and the Sunnah. SO I think she is a Quranite and a Kaffir but Allahu 'Alim, also if she says Hijab is not required then why she was wearing Hijab when she went to Hajj with her Mother? lol ignorant women

[AleahKoto]

Well, she is wrong. but also Turkey is wrong, and France is wrong. It is a push for all these countries so they can join the Union.

So sad. In the US they scream about women wearing the hijab as oppressed, but say nothing to the Mennonites, Amish, Russian Orthodox, Catholic or Jew. does that make sense? noooooo

So you can see it is a political thing. The world wants to stamp out Islam.

BUT

Allah turns all to the good......9/11 a bad thing, but many came to Islam because of it....they read and received knowledge.

Anti hijab in other countries, the same thing, people want to know for themselves and if they are sincerely seeking, their eyes are opened.....

I have found that the more Anti Islam is spread, the more, people who want to know, read and become Muslim.....so all in all the negative press, Allah has turned to good. Alhumdulilah!!

In sha allah, all the commentary, all the news articles, all the bad publicity, Allah will use for good.

Yes, make dua' for those who are ignorant of the beauty and truth in Islam.

:salam2:

I do not believe that she or her husband would say such things. They are Sunni Muslims. Alhamdulillah. They also gave much freedom to our Muslim brothers and sisters in Jordan, and there are many good Masajid in Jordan where Quran and Sunnah is taught.

In Jordan, most people have heard of Shaykh Albani (rahimahullah) and respect him, they also listen to his students like Shaykh Mashoor Hassan.

I think you should be careful before you start calling Muslim people disbelievers.

SO I think she is a Quranite and a Kaffir but Allahu 'Alim,

you think???? you can not call someone a kaffir like this.

Then in end say Allahu A'lam?
-

As for the text about Hijab, Queen Rania never said these things. On her website, she says that this was incorrect what the newspaper quoted. She was delibrately misquoted by the Italian newspaper by unknown authors.
