Women in Mosque: Any Special Dress Code?

Are women obliged to wear certain uniform other than the regular Hijab when performing prayers or visiting mosque?

In fact, there is no evidence in the Prophet’s Sunnah to indicate any difference between women’s normal Islamic dress code and what they should wear during prayers or when going to mosques.

Hijab On, No Perfume

– Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said:

May Allah have mercy on the early immigrant women. When the verse {…they should draw their veils over their bosoms} (An-Nur 31) was revealed, they tore their outer garments and made veils from them.

She also said: The believing women used to attend the Fajr prayer with Allah’s Apostle covered with their veiling sheets, and after finishing the prayer they would return to their homes.

The only restriction emphasized in this context is the prohibition of wearing noticeable perfume when going to mosque.

Women and Mosque: The Difficult Questions (In-Depth)

– Zainab, the wife of Abdullah ibn Mas`ud, reported:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: When any one of you comes to mosque, she should not apply perfume.

– Abu Hurayrah also narrated that the Prophet said:

“Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from visiting Allah’s mosques; when they come to mosque, they should be free of fragrance“

– It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah also that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Any woman who has been perfumed with incense should not attend the `Isha’ [prayer] with us.”

– One Day Abu Hurayrah passed by a woman whose perfume spread that he smelt it; her clothes were also fluttering in the air.

He said: O servant of the Almighty, are you coming from the mosque?

She replied: Yes.

He said: You used perfume for it?

She replied: Yes.

He said: I heard my beloved Abu Al-Qasim (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) say:

The prayer of a woman who uses perfume for this mosque is not accepted until she returns and takes a bath like the Janabah bath.

However, this restriction is not limited to mosques. Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Any woman puts on perfume then passes by people so that they can smell her fragrance then she is an adulteress.‘”

Summary

There is no special cloth for women visiting mosques or during prayers other than the dress code stipulated by the Shariah. Noticeable perfume, however, needs to be avoided by women when visiting mosques.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Derechos de Las Mujeres en Islam

Durante el Tiempo del Profeta (la paz sea con él) Veamos cómo fueron tratadas las mujeres de todo el mundo durante la época del Profeta (la paz sea con él). En la Europa del siglo VIII, la religión principal era el catolicismo y durante este tiempo debatían si las mujeres tenían alma. Dijeron que las mujeres eran impuras y que no tenían derecho a la herencia. A las mujeres tampoco se les permitía tocar la Biblia. No era como ahora en el Islam, donde ellas no pueden tocar el Corán durante la menstruación, pero a las mujeres en la Europa del siglo VIII nunca se les permitió tocar la Biblia. En China e India, fueron quemadas vivas cuando murieron sus maridos. En Arabia Saudita practicaron infanticidio femenino en el que, si nacía una niña, la enterrarían viva. Si el marido de una mujer muere, un miembro de su familia se unirá a ella para demostrar que ahora es de su propiedad. Mujeres en el Islam Con el Islam llegó una nueva era para las mujeres. En el Islam, las mujeres tienen la...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...
