Questions and Answers about Islamic Veil

in front of non-Maram male neighbours, non-Maram relatives, non-Maram servants, security guards and drivers, is a Dayyūš, he will be kept out of Paradise and is worthy of Hell.

My master A’lā arat, Imām-e-Aĥl-e-Sunnat, scholar of Sharī’aĥ, guide of arīqaĥ, Ash-Shāĥ Imām Amad Razā Khān عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن says: A Dayyūš is a severe and repulsive sinner (Fāsiq), and offering alāĥ behind a Fāsiq-e-Mulin [one who commits sins flagrantly] is Makrūĥ Tarīmī. Making him the Imām is not permissible, offering alāĥ behind him is a sin and anyone who has offered alāĥ led by him must repeat his alāĥ (because  it is Wājib-ul-I’ādaĥ).

(Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ referenced, vol. 6, pp. 583)

Bay-pardaĥ kal jo āyīn naẓar chand bībīyān

Akbar zamīn mayn ghayrat-e-qaumī say gař gayā

Pūcĥā jo un say āp kā pardaĥ woĥ kyā ĥuwā?

Keĥnay lagīn, ‘Woĥ ‘aql pay mardaun kī peř gayā!’

When Akbar saw few women unveiled, he was shamefully sunk into earth

When asked, ‘Where is your veil?’ They replied, ‘On the brains of men!’

What if a woman is disobedient?

Question: Is a man still a Dayyūš if the women of his house do not observe veil despite his efforts?

Answer: If a man makes all possible attempts according to his status and fulfils all the requirements of preventing unveiling but they still do not comply, then there is no blame on him and he is not a Dayyūš. Men must make all possible attempts to prevent  their women from unveiling, but wisely. Make sure that you do not behave towards your wife, mother or sisters so strictly that it causes chaos in your house.
