Asked a question that can a father, a
husband,
or a brother
force
a woman,
the sister, the daughter,
etcetera to
practice parda if they don't wish to follow
hijab. Can he force?
But naturally, the duty of every Muslim to
Islam, and especially among the close relatives,
he should try his very best to convince
first with hikma,
quotation of the Quran, with reason, logic that
you should do hijab.
Regarding forcing,
what is permitted within limits?
What is permitted?
I'm not using the word force. I'm using
the word enforce. Can he enforce it through
other means?
That's right. The said, he's not using the
word force. He's using the word enforce. I'm
giving a broader answer so that the next
question should not ask. What about
force? Even if force is concerned within limits,
enforce
by other means, he should do it.
By other means, like economic means, you know,
say I'm your father. I'm giving you pocket
money. When you go to college,
you don't do your hijab. I will stop
giving you pocket money. Putting
putting economic pressure.
How long you should do it? Why not?
You should. So and for by the means,
he should do it.
And if there are certain things, the Quran
gives permission
at certain times to even put little force
with the limits. The limits are prescribed in
the Quran say hadith that if you know
using little force can and force the first
moving
like offering salah.
A parent is allowed to use a little
bit force on the children
for offering salah, it's a fard. You know,
we're required within limits.
So similarly for enforcing hijab, husband can say,
okay.
I will stop giving you so and so
things because we don't do hijab. He can
and he should. The enforcement is concerned first
with hikmah in good
ways.
With wisdom and beautiful preaching. If that doesn't
work, you can use enforcement, like using pressure.
I will not talk to you. I will
not like it. And whatever you feel
within limits
is best.
You should and every Muslim or every Muslim.
If, for example, the husband is not offering
salah,
the wife can say that's the offering salah
is a fard.
She can
use tactics like certain pressurization.
So these can be used by both, man
as well as woman, on the spouse, on
the relatives, so that a person becomes a
good Muslim. If it's a fard, which a
person is not doing, they can very well
pressurize. Even a woman can pressurize the husband
for keeping a beard.
Normal people only
people normally pose only. The husband can fresh
as a woman. Why can't the woman do
that to the husband?
Sometimes the wife may say, oh, don't keep
a beard. It pokes.
So
you'll
tell them, maybe it pokes.
Insha'Allah,
if you're finding discomfort here, in the akhla,
you'll get more comfort. You know, that's very
than satisfying. So whoever is on the wrong
track, it is a duty because the Quran
says in Suri Baqarah chapter 2 verse number
187.
That you are the garments, and they are
your garments. The husband and wife, they're garments
under one another, and that you see to
it that both of them hope
that answers the question.
