Allah Ta‟ala, commanding females to remain indoors at home says in the Qur‟aan Majeed:
“And, remain glued in your homes, and do not make a display of yourselves as the exhibition of the former times of Jaahiliyyah’
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Woman is Aurah (an object of concealment).
When she emerges, shaitaan lies in ambush for her.”
Every decent Muslim – Muslim who has not bartered away his/her Imaan – understands well the command and the imperative need for girls to be taught Hijaab (Purdah) from a very young age. Hijaab is not restricted to a cloak. The very first imperative demand of Hijaab is for females to remain indoors at home.
