Woman wearing big hat instead of Hijab
I love the Hijab and have a strong desire to wear it. However, the institution where I work bans it during work but allows wearing hats. To overcome the situation, I am thinking about wearing a big hat in order to cover the front of the head as well as a big head wrap in order to cover the back. Is this permissible? Please advise! I am very perplexed... More

Observes religious duties but is not convinced of Hijab because it undermines her status
I am a Muslim woman. I observe the prayer and fasting but do not wear the Hijab because I am not convinced of it. I believe that wearing the Hijab undermines my status and feel that men enjoy more freedom than women. Will I be admitted to Hell if I remain without wearing it? Please advise!

I am a 17-year-old girl. I do not wear the Hijab. Having known the scholars' opinion in this regard, I realized that wearing the Hijab is an obligation.

Working in mixed environment or where Kufr festivals are celebrated
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah. Could you please advise on employment for women in the UK? What would be the lesser wrong, to work in any mixed environment, or to work within children's settings where they may be less mixing (as there are more females present) but where there will be participation in un-Islamic festivities such as Easter, Christmas,..

Islam encourages women to study all fields of beneficial knowledge
Assalaamu alaykum Shaikh. I know that this is a silly question and sounds crazy, but I am very confused about it, and maybe I suffer Waswaas (obsessive thoughts) regarding this. I am a woman.

Complying with teachers' requests in mixed school
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I talked with a shaykh and he told me that if such-and-such conditions are met, I can stay at my mixed school.

Why attending mixed schools is mostly forbidden
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. You said that it is haram to attend coeducational schools if we feel inclined towards doing haram. Are you talking about fornication?

Advice to women who do not abide by proper hijab
Assalaamu alaykum. As we have seen, many ladies in Western countries were the hijab without the niqab and put on makeup and go outside with that makeup on while wearing fancy abayas.

Interacting with female colleagues at work
Assalaamu alaykum. In my office, female colleagues regularly manipulate and sometimes order male colleagues to do favors for them, like bringing them water and snacks from the shop, do photocopies for them, and so on.
