Shabbir Ally is a Toronto imam & president of The International Toronto Dawah Center. Imam Ally gave an interview that was uploaded on April 21 2017. This interview helps both Muslim & non-Muslim understand the misunderstood, “Problematic aHadith”, regarding men molesting women and how it can be deemed the woman fault if she is.
The other verse in question the 33rd chapter 59th verse which says, tell the believing women to draw a part of their outer garments around themselves, or close to themselves, so that they will be recognized and not molested… And yet, in some interpretations, scholars have said in fact, it’s very common to find in the classical exegesis of the Quran that scholars have said the woman must cover her face when she goes out of her house… There are other indications in the Hadith there’s a Hadith that says that when the woman reaches the age of puberty it is not lawful for her to expose except for this and this. And according to the Hadith the prophet pointed to his face and hands. view video

“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed (molested). And Allaah is Ever Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful”
[al-Ahzaab 33:59]
Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “Allaah commanded the believing women, if they go out of their houses for some need, to cover their faces from the top of their heads with their jilbaabs, and to leave one eye showing.”
The comment “and leave one eye showing” is a concession because of the need to see the way; if there is no need for that then the eye should not be uncovered.
