:salam2:
hey is it very necssary for a women to cover her hair as soon as she listens to azan or quran?can i get hadiths which can proof this thnks a lot
Actually, I laugh when people do that. I mean it's not out of disrespect or anything but just at how blatant ignorance can be. This action is something that is particularly done by Desi women and yes it is done as a sign of respect. That much is good.
However...
Many of these women will cover their heads when they hear the adhan and Quran being recited and dua being made. Yet as soon as these things are over, they immediately go back to uncovering their heads. This, dear sister, is also a sign of hypocrisy and I'm sure we all know how dangerous that is.
I was at a wedding recently and most of the females there were not observing hijab. However as soon as the dua began all of these women immediately covered their heads and rebuked others who had not done so. I even saw one woman go so far as to put a napkin on her head because she didn't have anything else to cover it with! Coming from a Pakistani background myself I knew this was a common practice so it wasn't unusual for me to see. However, alhamdulillah after coming so far in my journey of increasing my taqwa, these ignorant actions stood out like neon signs for me.
I'm sorry if anyone's offended and if I'm opening a can of worms here, but in my opinion, this is just ridiculous. I mean, if you really think about it, what's so respectful about these women covering their heads during those moments? I mean if it were that respectful for a woman to cover her head during moments where the adhan or Quran is being recited then wouldn't you want to respect the Creator of those things by covering your head ALL the time? Or is He simply watching us during those moments? It's like a remark a sister once made to me regarding hijab: That like all women should, many of these Muslim women cover themselves during prayer as a sign of respect to their Creator. However, as soon as the prayer is over, these women immediately go back to uncovering themselves in front of men. Now what kind of respect are you showing if you cover yourselves in front of your Creator but uncover yourselves in front of His Creation? You're basically displaying yourself as a sheer hypocrite and as a representative of Islam, NO ONE will take you or your message seriously as a Muslim.
Once again, I apologize if I've gone off on a tangent. Its just that I just attended this wedding a few days ago and I was so angry and disappointed to see that this type of ignorance still reigns supreme even after all the turns this world has made.
In response to your question sister, this idea of covering your head during only those moments is a cultural thing and not a religious one
