Are you sinful if you were in a club outside but at home with
close family members? You when visiting such as cousins, you
don't wear it? Is it sinful? How can I break this habit? A woman
contacted me some time ago. She said that she wants to start
wearing the niqab because you've never worn it before. And she says
she works somewhere in a hospital or so. So she can't wear in the
hospital. But can she wear it outside? And she said she wanted
to do that. But there's people who are telling her that that's
hypocrisy, you either do it fully, or you just don't do it at all.
And that's the incorrect idea here. That's what I'm seeing from
this question as well that if I wear it outside, but I don't wear
it inside, I'm a hypocrites. And I don't think so.
You're not trying to I mean, unless you're trying to show
people I really call but you really don't. That's a different
problem. Hypocrisy is the illness in the heart. I mean, this is also
this is just that you find it inconvenient at home, you're not
ready yet at home. So I would say that you continue wearing it
wherever you can, if you want to do so you wear it wherever you
can, because you're going to be rewarded for that. Same as I can't
pray all my prayers, I miss Fajr and Isha generally. So is it then
worth doing my daughter ASA? And Margaret, it's the same kind of
question. The times you do wear it where you're supposed to wear it
over you, you know where it should be worn, then you're gonna get
rewarded for that. And where you can't wear it, where you can't
wear it for your personal reasons, then you just make it effect. You
you jumped up who basically, you you jump over that obstacle
eventually. So carry on doing it where you can do it, don't feel
guilty about not being able to do it all the time. And that guilty
guilt making you feel that you shouldn't do it at all. That's
what I'm talking about. So you do it wherever you can, and then you
start doing it in other places as well. And Allah gives you strength
for that. But don't abandon it completely. That's what I'm trying
to say. Generally with the home, it's a bit more difficult because
outside, there's people who are, you know, don't know you they
don't care, right, except you will hear about generally the
experience that has been for women of study wearing hijab or niqab or
whatever, or guys have started keeping a beard or something like
that is the initiative format a few weeks, maybe your friends,
people, you know, your associates, colleagues, they'll say something
that is the most important time that's the time you have to be the
strongest. Once you get beyond like a month. That's all you have
to struggle for. Generally, once you get beyond the month, then
they get used to it. People like to talk about something new. And
if they're not doing it, they may feel guilty. So then they're going
to make you feel guilty. Right. There's various reasons why people
may speak, they may do it as a joke, and whatever, you have to be
not sensitive at that time. You have to be very thick skin. And
you have to keep your gaze on Allah I'm doing this for the sake
of Allah, I don't care what people say.
So it's that kind of thing. And when it comes to families, it's a
bit more tough because it's on an everyday basis, and then there's
other inconveniences and so on and so forth. But mainly that's the
way to go. Go for it inshallah.
