Excuse No.2 for not Wearing Hijab
Author: Dr. Huwayda Ismaeel
Excuse Two: I am convinced of Islamic dress but my mother prevents me from wearing it and if I disobey her I will go to the Fire.
The one who has answered this excuse is the most noble of Allah’s creation, the messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) in concise and comprehensive words of wisdom:
“There is no obedience to the created in the disobedience of Allah.”
[Ahmad]
The status of parents in Islam, especially the mother, is a high and elevated one. Indeed Allah ta’aala has combined it with the greatest of matters, worshipping Him and His Tawheed, in many aayaat. He stated:
“Worship Allah and join none with Him and do good to parents.”
[Soorah An-Nisaa 4: 36].
Obedience to parents is not limited except in one aspect, and that is if they order to disobedience of Allah. Allah said:
“But if they strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not.”
[Soorah Luqmaan 31: 15]
The lack of obedience to them in sinfulness does not prevent being good to them and kind treatment of them. Allah said afterward in the same aayah: But behave with them world kindly.
In summary: How can you obey your mother and disobey Allah Who created you and your mother?
