Questions and Answers about Islamic Veil

Reform your families

Islamic sisters! We should all make constant individual efforts for the reform of our families. In fact, we should make more efforts on our families compared to the general public, especially a father should do good deeds himself and give advisory Madanī pearls to his children and their mother as well. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said in part 28, Sūraĥ At-Tarīm, verse 6:

یٰۤاَ یُّہَا  الَّذِیۡنَ   اٰمَنُوۡا    قُوۡۤ ا   اَنۡفُسَکُمۡ    وَ  اَہۡلِیۡکُمۡ   نَارًا   وَّ  قُوۡدُ ہَا   ا لنَّاسُ   وَ  الۡحِجَارَۃُ

O believers, save yourselves and your family from the fire whose fuel are men and stones.

[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)] (Part 28, Sūraĥ At-Tarīm, verse 6)

Saving your family from Hell

The Quranic commentary Khazāin-ul-‘Irfān states: (Save yourselves and your families) by obeying Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, by worshipping, abstaining from sins, advising your family to do good and to refrain from evil, and by teaching them knowledge and manners.

Observe veil with a eunuch as well!

Question: Do Islamic sisters have to observe veil with eunuchs as well?

Answer: Yes. The ruling for Islamic sisters about observing veil with eunuchs is the same as is with men. adr-ush-Sharī’aĥ, Badr-u-arīqaĥ, ‘Allāmaĥ Maulānā Muftī Muhammad Amjad ‘Alī A’amī عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی says, ‘A eunuch is a man, in congregational alāĥ (Jamā’at) he will stand in the men’s row’.
