The BIG debate: Does Islam oppress women? Dr Nazreen Nawaz v Sue Mayer (feminist)

1/1


The current debate on women's rights has until now been predominantly shaped by its progress in the west. The treatment of women in any society has become, without doubt, a key marker in evaluating its progress. The accepted framework of the debate on women's rights has centred on the need for 'equality'. After a century of struggle, many had thought that the glass ceilings have been shattered and there is no impediment to progression whatever your gender. But research from The UN's Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, paints a damning picture of daily life for women living in the UK who continue to fight for a fairer deal in society.

Enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil

Allah (swt) revealed: 

“You are the best nation revealed for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah.” [TMQ 3:110] 

The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 

“Whoever from amongst you sees an evil should change it by his hand, if he is unable to do so then he should change it by his tongue (by speaking against it), and if he is unable to do so then he should reject it in his heart and this is the weakest of Iman.” [Muslim]

Seven Conditions for Women's Dress in Islam (ISLAM PROTECTS THE WOMAN)

Hijab is a word that indicates not just the headscarf but clothing in its entirety which meets the following conditions:

01. Clothing must cover the entire body, only the hands and face may remain.

  

02. The material must not be so thin that one can see through it.

03. The clothing must hang loose so that the shape / form of the body is not apparent.

  

04. The female clothing must not resemble the man's clothing.

  

05. The design of the clothing must not resemble the clothing of the non believing women.

  

06. The design must not consist of bold designs which attract attention.

  

07. Clothing should not be worn for the sole purpose of gaining reputation or increasing one's status in society.

  

The reason for this strictness is so that the woman is protected from the lustful gaze of men. She should not attract attention to herself in any way.

It is permissible for a man to catch the eye of a woman, however it is haram (unlawful) for a man to look twice as this encourages lustful thoughts. (Ends)
