HOW SHOULD SISTERS IN ISLAM ADVISE ONE ANOTHER?

 

 

“…She advises them, saying to her sister in Islam, “You must avoid mixing with men, you must avoid going out uncovered, and you must be diligent in wearing the proper Islamic head covering when in front of men that are not permissible for you to be uncovered in front of.

 

Allah Most High says:

 

And when you ask (his wives) for anything you want, ask them from behind a screen, that is purer for your hearts and for their hearts.

 

(al-Ahzaab: 53)

 

And the Most High also says:

 

And they do not display their beauty except in front of their husbands.

 

(an-Noor: 31)

 

So she brings the verses and narrations that are suitable and that contain clarification of what Allah has commanded. She also warns from whatever opposes the pure legislation and clarifies for her sisters in Islam what is obligatory upon all of us while warning from what Allah has prohibited. And that we must cooperate on righteousness and piety and upholding the truth and preserving with patience.”
