The title is pretty self-explanatory, but here goes! One too many times i see women wearing an abaya only to pair it one really s*** stiletto, and it disturbs me more than seeing a girl with no hijab on. No! i dont think its better that atleast they are wearing an abaya. Dont get me wrong, i am not holding it against the person because they may not know it or havent reached "there" yet. I just want to address the issue.
There is nothing wrong with wearing a good-looking shoe; Im a sucker for high-heeled, fancy footwear too. Just dont wear it when you are going to a large crowd with men in it. Truly sister, it destroys the purpose of hijab. Lets consider for a moment, what the hijab must entail. To begin with, it should be a loose "outer-clothing" that is not see-through and covers your satr. Allah commands us to hide our adornments ie jewlery, hair, clothing, figure. With such strict commandments for hiding our adornments, how do you think wearing shiny clickety heels fits the bill when all it does is draw attention to you! Hijab is not only physical, rather its more behavioural and the physical part just reinforces the behaviour part. So one must observe haya and humility in speech, posture AND clothing. The same holds true for blingy abayas or shaylas that dont cover the chest or earrings peeking out of the scarf or skinny jeans and hijab or heavy make-up and hijab! Sisters, these are important details that complete our hijab and without which there really is not point of hiding our hair! I, too was like this but nobody guided me and i was ignorant enough to not have learned it myself. But i know better now and hopefully sisters you will think through your hijab too.
Would the prophet saw approve of your hijab? Would Allah be pleased with your appearance? As these 2 questions before you leave home. May Allah guide all of us on the straight path. Ameen
