One of the tools being used by the enemies of Islam to send the masses astray and naively being adopted by some Muslims is dismissing many established laws of Shariah<\/em> and the Sunan<\/em> of the Ras\u016bl<\/em> \ufdfa and \u1e62<\/em>a<\/em>\u1e25<\/em>\u0101bah<\/em>, male and female \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647\u0645, as being simply \u2018culture\u2019. One such false claim is that black<\/strong> ab\u0101yahs<\/em>\/jilb\u0101bs or <\/em>cloaks\/overgarments worn by women is a Saudi culture and has no basis in Shar\u012bc<\/sup>ah<\/em>. Even though there is no specific colour which must<\/strong> be adopted when wearing the overgarments, other than the general rules of not being inciting of fitnah<\/em> or attractive and not being a garment of ostentation etc.,[1]<\/a> here it will be proven that black<\/strong> abay\u0101hs<\/em>\/jilb\u0101bs or <\/em>cloaks\/overgarments were worn by the \u1e62<\/em>a<\/em>\u1e25<\/em>\u0101biy\u0101t<\/em> in the Messenger\u2019s \ufdfa era and that this is, in fact, part of the Shar\u012bc<\/sup>ah<\/em>.<\/p>\n Umm Mu\u2019<\/em>min<\/em>\u012bn,<\/em> Umm Salamah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647\u0627 said, \u201cWhen the verse, \u2018And they should draw their jilb\u0101b<\/em> (cloaks) over themselves,\u2019 was revealed, the women of the An<\/em>\u1e63<\/em>\u0101r<\/em> went out as if there were crows<\/strong> on their heads from sak\u012bnah<\/em>, and they were wearing black<\/strong> overgarments (akyisah<\/em>).\u201d<\/p>\n All the commentators of this \u1e25<\/em>ad\u012bth<\/em> explain that their garments were likened to crows due to their black<\/strong> colour.[4]<\/a> The expert \u1e25<\/em>ad<\/em>\u012b<\/em>th<\/em> lexicographer, All<\/em>\u0101<\/em>mah<\/em> Ibn Qutaibah (d. 276 AH) \u0631\u062d\u0645\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 said, \u201cWhat is meant by \u2018there were crows<\/strong> on their heads\u2019 is that the overgarments (mur\u016bt<\/em>) were from black<\/strong> hairs (of camel or sheep) so the parts which were on their heads were like crows (in blackness).\u201d[5]<\/a> In other words, the an<\/em>\u1e63<\/em>\u0101riyah<\/em> women made their khim\u0101rs <\/em>(head and chest coverings) from the overgarments they already possessed. Since these overgarments were already black<\/strong>\u00a0when they placed the khim\u0101rs<\/em>, which were made from them, on their heads it looked like black<\/strong> crows<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In his magnificent commentary on Sunan<\/em> Ab\u012b Daw\u016bd, the great muhaddith<\/em> and faq\u012bh<\/em>, Ibn Rasl\u0101n<\/strong> (d. 844 AH)<\/span> \u0631\u062d\u0645\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647, who died centuries before Saudi Arabia was even conceptualized, said, \u201cThe women of the An<\/em>\u1e63<\/em>\u0101r<\/em> exited while the jilb\u0101bs<\/em> (overgarments) were drawn all over them as though on their heads were crows (ghirb\u0101n<\/em>). The black<\/strong> khim\u0101rs<\/em> (head and chest coverings) were likened to crows<\/strong> because of the black<\/strong> cloaks which they would use as jilb\u0101bs<\/em> to cover themselves. The poet said, \u2018Clothed with a jilb\u0101b<\/em> of the darkness of night.\u2019[6]<\/a> This \u1e25<\/em>ad\u012bth<\/em> proves that it is from Shar\u012bc<\/sup>ah<\/em> for women to use <\/span>black<\/span> overgarments (mal\u0101<\/em>\u1e25<\/em>if<\/em>) to cover themselves, especially at night, because it does a better job concealing them, as opposed to white (ones).<\/span><\/strong>\u201d[7]<\/a><\/p>\n In her narration of this incident, Umm Mu\u2019<\/em>min<\/em>\u012bn<\/em> Aishah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647\u0627 applauded the An<\/em>\u1e63<\/em>\u0101<\/em>riyah<\/em> women on this action by saying, \u201cIndeed there is virtue in the Quraishi women, however, I did not see anyone more virtuous than the women of the An<\/em>\u1e63<\/em>\u0101r<\/em> and none with a stronger belief in the Book of Allah nor faith in the revelation.\u201d[8]<\/a> She went on to say that as soon as the above verse was revealed and their menfolk came home and recited it to their wives, daughters and sisters, \u201cEvery An<\/em>\u1e63<\/em>\u0101riyah<\/em> woman immediately got up and made the head and chest coverings from their (black) overgarments (of sheep or camel\u2019s) hair out of belief and faith in what Allah revealed in His Book. Then they came out in the morning to perform the Fajr<\/em> prayer behind the Messenger of Allah \ufdfa with the head and chest coverings as if there were crows<\/strong> on their heads.\u201d[9]<\/a><\/p>\n May Allah protect us from the onslaught of misinformation about our Shar\u012bc<\/sup>ah<\/em> which is being promoted externally as well as from within. May He allow us to see the Truth as Truth and grant us the ability to accept and follow it.<\/p>\n See here<\/a> for a fatw\u0101<\/em> by Muft\u012b Shabb\u012br Ahmed Qasm\u012b on this issue.<\/p>\n [1]<\/a> See Fat\u0101w\u0101 D\u0101rul Ul\u016bm Zakariyah<\/em> Vol.7 Pg.96-98 \u02bfAll\u0101mah<\/em> \u02bfA\u012byn\u012b says that \u201cThose women who walk around in the bazaars in flashy clothing\u201d come under the \u1e25ad\u012bth<\/em> of Sa\u1e25\u012b\u1e25<\/em> Muslim [#2128] which speak about sinful women who cause men to be inclined to them.

I also consider their husband and guardian\u2019s allowance of them to emerge in this manner and walk among strange men to be due to a lack of ghairah<\/em>. Allah and His Rasul \ufdfa did not permit any of that.\u201d [Tafsir R\u016b\u1e25ul Ma\u02bf\u0101n\u012b<\/em> Vol.18 Pg.323-324]<\/p>\n [2]<\/a> Vol.2 Pg.123 Imam \u0100l\u016bs\u012b also mentioned this narration in his Tafs\u012br <\/em>[Vol.21 Pg.468].<\/p>\n [3]<\/a> #4101 His wordings are: \u201cAs if there were crows on their heads, because of their overgarments (akyisah<\/em>).\u201d<\/p>\n [4]<\/a> Shar\u1e25<\/em> Abu D\u0101w\u016bd by Ibn Rasl\u0101n Vol.16 Pg.360-361, Mirq\u0101tus \u1e62u<\/em>\u02bf\u016bd<\/em> by Suyut\u012b Vol.3 Pg.1001, Fat\u1e25ul Wad\u016bd<\/em> by Sind\u012b Vol.4 Pg.130, \u02bfAwnul Ma\u02bfb\u016bd by \u02bfAz\u012bm\u0101b\u0101di Pg.1760, Bazlul Majh\u016bd Sah\u0101ranpur\u012b Vol.12 Pg.130, An-Nih\u0101yah by Ibnul Ath\u012br Pg.2995<\/p>\n [5]<\/a> Ghar<\/em>\u012bbul <\/em>\u1e24ad<\/em>\u012bth<\/em> Vol.2 Pg.354<\/p>\n [6]<\/a> The darkness of the night completely covered him, like how jilb\u0101bs<\/em> completely cover the body.<\/p>\n [7]<\/a> Sharh Ibn Raslan on Abu Dawud Vol.16 Pg.360-361<\/p>\n\n
