Burqa- Safeguard of women?s chastity and honour Part 8

<span style="font-size: 14px"><strong>The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) also said:</strong> <br /> <br /> Translation: No man should see the Satar of another and no woman should see the Satar of another. <br /> <br /> (Sahih Muslim, Hadith No: 512) <br /> <br /> The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) also said: May Allah SWT curse those women who are naked in spite of wearing clothes. <br /> <br /> Hadhrat Umar (May Allah be well pleased with him) said: Do not clothe your women in such clothes which are so tight that they outline their whole body. <br /> <br /> (Al Mabsut Kitabul istihsaan) <br /> <br /> Burqais only an improved kind of Purdah. The Niqab of the Burqa also fulfils the same reason for which the command for covering the faces with chador is given. . There are numerous reports daily of criminals snatching chains and other jewelry from women going on the road, but there is no report which says that this has happened to a Burqa-wearing woman as well. Skin diseases are common nowadays because of pollution and more often than not, it is the women who keep their faces uncovered who contract them. It is a blessing of the Purdah that apart from prying eyes, it saves from skin diseases as well. <br /> <br /> Nowadays, people are trying to defame Islam and Muslims in some way or the other. Sometimes, by disrespecting the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and sometimes by making fun of the Shariah. Sometimes by portraying Islamic divorce in a bad light and sometimes by comparing the Purdah to a prison. The aim is to defame the Muslims and spread immodesty among them. The remarks of Nicolas Sarkozy, the President of France, are against wisdom and common sense. If any person wants to lead a peaceful life, then there is no other go other than Islam. <br /> <br /> It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Uqba bin Amir (May Allah be well pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said avoid going to women. A Sahabi (May Allah be well pleased with him) said: What do you say about the husband&rsquo;s brother? He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: The husband&rsquo;s brother is death. <br /> <br /> (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith No: 4831, Sahih Muslim, 4037). </span>
