No Hijab = Protection
A family member of mine is abroad studying, she says people have started treating her differntely because of the bombings that occured in London (she wears the hijab (veil). I mean, i understand that they are upset but why change your attitude towards someone? I mean we still are the same people, nothing has changed.Apparently there is a fatwa (ruling) from the one egyption scholar (whoes name i dont recall) that say, in such situations a girl/woman can be forgiven for not wearing a veil!!! Some girls have actually stopped wearing the hijab after hearing this ruling! i was shocked to hear that.
Note: these is the same scholar that allows riba *interest in banks* and smoking!
(i dont see what the difference is) What are these girls afraid of? or whom are they afraid of? What is the veil going to change? she is still a muslim when asked what religion she follows right?! or is she going to deny that as well to save herself?
Have we forgotten that Allah is the all mighty all powerul?
If truly the girl feels threaten then in my opinion she has a choice to leave the county, Allah has made earth vast so she could go to another country to furthur her studies for example. I am simply saying that religion should be our no 1 priority as that is what will help us on judgement day, nothing else.

And who said that No Hijab = Protection?? This is wrong ... Ana i wear it for 2 reasons one cuz Alla sub7ana said so and the second is becuz the 7jab protects me from ppl who arent afraid of Alla sub7ana .. plus i feel safer! Also i feel this is our identity, as muslim women.. ya3ne wherever we go, whoever sees us.. they know straight away that we are muslims. Some people also consider this part of da'wah.
Sorry 4 saying alot!-

I was just telling Hubby the other day that with the hijab ppl dont have to look twice to realise that i am a muslim.-

I really think this is a LAME eXCUSE. When their Iman is not strong then anything can come between them. When i was in the States, i was there when 9/11 happened and I wore my hijab 1 week before it, it was very easy for me to remove it since i was newly in that world but i did not take it off. If i wasnt in the situation i would have found different excuses for them, but being there and actually going through bad treatment can never ever justify their actions. God bless them inshalllah

I find it silly and stupid to change your attitude toward someone just because of something occured which is not related to them at all.. I think its just an excuse..
As for the hijab new "fatwa" I don't believe in such thing. And I feel sorry for those who believed it..-

I totally agree with you!!!
If you dont feel safe abroad, then I guess you should not be abroad!! after all a woman shouldnt be abroad without a ma7ram if its not a safe place.
