HIJAB 101 : DO MUSLIM WOMEN HAVE TO WEAR HIJABS DURING SALAH AT HOME?

HIJAB 101 : DO MUSLIM WOMEN HAVE TO WEAR HIJABS DURING SALAH AT HOME?

11/26/2009

QUESTION : I would like to know if Muslim women have to wear hijab during prayers at home? The purpose of hijab is to cover my body in front of men. When I’m at home by myself, I don’t see the need to wear hijabs during salah because there are no men around. Someone told me that this is incorrect. Can you please clarify?


ANSWER : Yes, we do have to wear hijab during salah — even if we are praying at home alone. Allah says in verse 7:31 : “O Children of Adam! Wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer…”


From that ayah, it is clear that we must wear our apparel no matter where or when we are performing salah. And of course when it comes to Muslim women, our apparel is hijab as described in the Qur’an and sound hadiths.


Allah knows best. Please don’t hesitate to correct me if I’m wrong.

HIJAB STYLES FOR LESS : HIJAB FASHION TRENDS SPRING 2011

HIJAB STYLES FOR LESS: HIJAB FASHION TRENDS SPRING 2011

Today’s hijab style set has two purposes. 1. I wanted to demonstrate a more subtle way to mix prints within one outfit. And, 2. I also wanted to do a post (as requested) about Hijab Styles For Less (thanks Mira for the title!).




Mixing prints is a pretty hot fashion trend for Spring, but in my opinion, that look can leave you looking like you got dressed in the dark. Nevertheless, I still love this trend and I think that mixing prints can look more chic than crazy by following a few tips:




1. Keep one of the prints neutral in color.
2. Keep one of the prints simple.
3. Keep the shapes classic.




The long skirt that I’ve used in today’s hijab style set fits those three requirements perfectly. It’s black and white, it has a simple striped print, and it’s a classic a-line shape. The blazer is also classic in shape, but it has a bright pink, floral print which carries this look in to Spring 2010.




I finished the look with neutral pieces: black booties, a black pashmina hijab, and a large mother-of-pearl cocktail ring.




HIJAB STYLES FOR LESS




This striped long skirt by Xhilaration costs about $17, so it’s a very affordable alternative to the skirt featured in the hijab style set above. I don’t think it would look good with the floral jacket, but if you want a striped skirt in your wardrobe, this one would be a great choice.




So, what do you think? Would you mix prints? By the way, I’m sure that some of us have mixed prints before by wearing a floral scarf with a pinestriped pant or something similar — even if not on purpose. Have you?

We Love Hijab is back with more hijab and fashion ideas from ideeli. If you’re not familiar with ideeli, it is equivalent to a TJ Maxx or a Marshalls in that it offers huge discounts on designer clothes. The difference is that ideeli’s sales are for a limited-time only.

Today’s sale features beautiful long skirts and 100% silk scarves by a company called Love Shop. The silk scarves come in several pretty colors and prints, including the rose print hijabs pictured above. The long skirts come in a couple different colors as well, but there is also a white tiered skirt that I think is a great hijab style staple for Spring.
