Fal 'iyado billah, It is only permissible to show hair and chest to your husband. Even if it is not warada fil hadith then after will cause fitnah will be Haraam

Alfitnato ashaddo minal Qatl (The fitnah is severe than to kill)
-Surah al baqarah

Wallaho a'lam

Jazak'Allah khaiyr for sharing this!

[Ali_Hasnain]

It is only permissible to show hair and chest to your husband.

Bismillah,

So a girl showing her hair to her father is forbidden?

"...not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful” [al-Noor 24:31]

There was a time when you had to memorize thousands of Hadith to give Fatwas, now random folks on the internet make up their own rulings.

Walaykum salaam,

From Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri's Reliance of the Traveller: A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law:

Actions Unlawful During Minor Ritual Impurity:

5. to carry a Koran, even by a strap or in a box or touch it, whether its writing, the spaces between its lines, its margins, binding, the carrying strap attached to it, or the bag or box it is in....(In the Hanafi school, it is permissible for someone in a state of minor ritual impurity to touch or carry a Koran that is inside a cover not physically attached to it, such as a case or bag, as opposed to something joined to it, like a binding)





Proper Manners towards the Koran:

1. To touch it except in a state of ritual purity and to recite it when in a state of ritual impurity.

2. To brush one's teeth with a toothstick, remove food particles between them, and freshen one's mouth before reciting since it is the way through which the Koran passes.

3. To sit up straight if not in prayer, and not lean back

4. To dress for reciting it as if intending to visit a prince, for the reciter is engaged in intimate discourse.

5. To face the direction of prayer to recite

6. to rinse the mouth out with water if one expectorates mucus or phlegm.

7. to stop reciting when one yawns, for when reciting one is addressing one's Lord in intimate conversation, while yawning is from the Devil.

8. when beginning to recite, to take refuge in Allah from the Devil and say the Basmala, whether one has begun the first of the sura or some other part one has reached.

9. once one has begun, not to interrupt one's recital from moment to moment with human words, unless absolutely necessary

10 to be alone when reciting it, so that no one interrupts one, forcing one to mix the words of the Koran with replying, for this nullifies the effectiveness of having taken refuge in Allah from the Devil at the beginning.

11. to recite it leisurely and without haste, distinctly pronouncing each letter

12. to use one's mind and understanding in order to comprehend what is being said to one

13. to pause at verses that promise Allah's favor, to long for Allah Most High and ask of His bounty; and at verses that warn of His punishment to ask Him to save one from it.

14. to pause at the accounts of bygone peoples and individuals to heed and benefit from their example

15. to find out the meaning's of the Koran's unusual lexical usages.

16. to give each letter its due so as to clearly pronounce every word, for each letter counts as ten good deeds.

17. whenever one finishes reciting to attest to the veracity of one's Lord, and that His messenger (saw) has delivered his message, and to testify to this, saying: " Our Lord, You have spoken the truth, Your messengers have delivered their tidings, and we are witnesses to this. O Allah, make use of those who bear witness to the truth and who act with justice;" after which one supplicates Allah with prayers.

18. not to select certain verses from each sura to recite, but rather recite the whole sura.

19. if one puts the Koran down, not to leave it open.

20. not to place other books upon the Koran, which should always be higher than all other books (Nawawi: though the books of each shelf of a bookcase, for example, are considered separately in this), whether they are books of Sacred Knowledge or something else.

21. to place the Koran on one's lap when reading, or on something in front of one, not on the floor.

22. to to wipe it from a slate with spittle, but rather wash it off with water; and if one washes it off with water, to avoid putting the water where there are unclean substances or where people walk. Such water has its own inviobility, and there were those of the early Muslims before us who used water that washed away Koran to effect cures.

23. not to use sheets upon which it has been written as bookcovers, which is extremely rude, but rather to erase the Koran from them with water.

24. not to let a day go by without looking at least once at the pages of the Koran

25. to give one's eyes their share of looking at it....

26. not to trivially quote the Koran at the occurrence of everyday events, as by saying, for example, when someone comes,

"You have come hither according to a decree, O Moses" (Koran 20:40)

27. not to recite it to song tunes like those of the corrupt, or with the tremulous tones of Christians or plaintiveness of mockery, all of which is misguidance.

28 when writing the Koran, to do so in a clear elegant hand

29. not recite it aloud over another's reciting of it...

30. not to recite it in marketplaces, places of clamor and frivolity, or where fools gather.

31. not to use the Koran as a pillow, or lean upon it

32. not to toss t when one wants to hand it to another

33. not to miniaturize the Koran, mix into it what is not of it, or mingle this worldly adornment with it by embellishing or writing it with gold.

34. not to write it on the ground or on walls, as is done in some new mosques

35. not to write an amulet with it and enter the lavatory, unless it is encased in leather, silver , or other, for then it is as if kept in the heart

pages 875-878


--All this of course applies to the Arabic Qur'an, and not a mere translation

With regards to the purdah question, this is the relevant masaail from Bahishti Zewar:

8. If a woman's face, head, chest, arm, or calf gets exposed in front of her mahram, there will be no sin on her. However, her stomach, back, and thighs cannot be exposed in front of her mahram as well.
9. It is not permissible for a woman to expose her body from her navel till below her names even before another woman.

There is a translator's footnote to point 8:

This rule applies if these parts become exposed unintentionally. If the woman feels that she is not safe from the desires of her mahram as well, it will not be permissible to expose even these.

With regards to the Qur'aan question, I just want to add to what's already been mentioned that it IS permissible to recite the Qur'aan without wuduu (even by looking), although there is more reward if one does wuduu beforehand. However, touching the Qur'aan is not allowed. In a state of major impurity (ghusl required) it will not be permissible to do either.

thank you brother for ur prompt response. i agree to u and i folllow the same but my colleagues and friends say opposite and they want reference and hadith regarding the same. for eg my husband he wears topi throughout but my friends say its not sunnah. therefore to explain them and for my own satisfaction.

You should advise your friends to check with the 'Ulamaa that they trust to find out these masaail, if they don't trust whatever you are telling them. There is not much use in getting into discussions and arguments of proofs, and quoting ahaadeeth, etc. since, frankly, your friends do not have the knowledge to evaluate ahaadeeth and give fatwahs, and you do not have the background to respond to their criticisms. If you have to bring all the proofs of every single little masaail for them, you will spend your whole life arguing.

It is better that if they have some doubt, they go directly to the 'Ulamaa themselves and you not get involved in these arguments.

Assalamoalaikom Ya akhii

What I mean is now a days, it will not be alright to exposed continuously the woman's hair and chest even to your mahram. If only you read magazines and reports of illegal intercourse between mahram to mahram.

Alfitnato ashaddo minal qatl

Yes, if woman hair and chest was exposed to his mahram then there will be no sin for her, according to to the verse you quoted

But it is not appropriate do it

That is my opinion, not fatawah

Thanks for the admonition, jazakallahol khayran, please tell me if I am still wrong.
