Gays, Lesbians, and My Hijab
My cousin and I had a very interesting conversation the other day, ill ask you guys the same questions that came up
Lesbian women look at other women the same way men do, doesn't that mean we should wear our hijab in front of them?
What about gay men? I mean we do nothing for them right, and they are definitely not someone we can marry, so do we need to wear our hijab in front of them too?
come on when you think about it I'm making perfect sense here!

The Awra against a Man or a woman acting like a man is the same!
I don't think anyone would feel comfortable with someone looking with intent at them. It doesn't matter if it was a man or a woman
As for the man, it doesn't matter. If he's gay or not, He shouldn't see.
Hmm, never thought of it in this way.. Donno what to say?!
ok, I don't really know what the Islamic ruling is on this but if you feel that you can't take your hijab off in front of "lesbian" woman and are wondering if you can in front of "gay" men than you're also validating the sexual orientation which is something that Islam doesn't validate. Alot of this depends on whether you see homosexuality as a preference rather than something that can't be helped; Islam recognizes that some people have much stronger urges and temptations than others. With that said, there are shyukh that say you shouldn't take your hijab off in front of nonmuslim women for those reasons.
So my conclusion is you definately shouldn't take your hijab off in front of men that claim they're gay and I don't know about lesbian women really.
well i dont know the rule for that really....but i never thought you'd be met7agba....
maybe coz of your blogs header :P
if you're really confused, i dont know.. just not wear it in the first place, unless its really cold or you're having a bad hair day.
hey, you know what i miss? toe cleavage! AW SEXAY!! now THATS yabeela hiding
It's all too confusing if you ask me!
Well, yes Awra is defined by Islam, so as Qwaider said, it doesnt matter man or woman..
As for the lisbos, you do what you want & let them go to hell! It's their mistakes not yours to make you feel uncomfortablel like that.
:D what ?
I honestly don't know so I can't efti in this matter. I will ask a local sheikh and come back to you on this
qwaider
makes sense

3ade, maybe the rest of the comments will give us both an idea

will be waiting
I have another question; and it's not just about hijab?
how do you know if there's lesbian or gay in a female toilet?! what do you do if you found one?
rekoo
i rarely use public bathrooms, and i never take my 7jab off either way, so i never thought of it.... but interesting!
hmm, i think we should still wear hijab infront of gays in addition to lesbians.
Even though this is interesting topic but you seem you forgot something: lesbians are not attracted to straight people. I mean she might admire your hair but she will not act on it because that lesbian realizes that you are straight and will make sure to steer clear from you. Second, lesbians just like gay men possess something called gaydar...if you ain't gay their gaydars won't peep.
As for gay guys they will not care wether you wore your hijab or not because they couldn't care less. Even though I'm not a spokesperson of gay people but we tend to have the misconception all homosexual people are transsexual...and it most cases...it is not.
I think it's all about el 3awra ya3ni you cover infront of men and uncover infront of women gay or not, BUT you also cover infront of ANYTHING that makes you uncomfortable, even if it's a tree. Having said that, gay or not, cover infront of allll men you never know what you might trigger...
my dear itha mit7ajba min sneen you should really modify your curly hair pic
This is an interesting subject, but with so many different questions. I honestly think the matter of intent is important, but Islam has a way to deal with the types of people who like same sex. Its one hell of a subject to jump into, but your right with your reasoning to a degree, but your better off playing it safe.
For some reason I'm seeing two interconnected circles in my head regarding this subject! lol
nafs tafkeeri :S still didnt get an answer though
mais abdullah
hmmmm
i duno

lesbians mite not hit on straight girls, but that dosent mean its gna stop em from thinking a woman is hot or being attracted to her. And take it from me, alot of the girls do hit on straight women.
I know a gay guy couldnt care less, and that is the reason why im asking if theres a need for me to cover up
hammoodee
i would , but its not a picture of me so its ok :)
I had the same conversation with my friends.
Theoretically speaking, gays r not attracted to girls and lesbians r attracted to girls, so (theoretically) u should itagha6ain 3an il lesbian not the gay hehe.
But still rules r rules. U make perfect sense, but since its not really defined in Islam, then one should stick to the original rules of the hijab i think.
marzouq
LoL!
i think im gna do just that, play it safe
shousha
ya, bs i think like most ppl said its better to play it safe
this lady says
when it comes to men then ya, just keep wearing it
bs what about lesbians, ya3ne madre its confusing!
im not qualified to post out a fatwa... but i know that even from blind people we should still wear 7ejab... so, it's a bit deeper than just visual affect.
Hmmm.. that actully did cross my mind before.. and i AGREE with u ! a lesbian will be looking at u the same way a man wud so i personaly won't feel comfortable.. and a gay guy wudn't even look lol so 3adi ..
Hmmm... i really think nope
yyou will be giving them excuses that way
i never thought about it hmmm yamkin 9a7
Mmmm .. for gays .. I think I'll still keep my hejab on in their existance .. i wont feel comfortable if i didnt!
for lesbians .. mmmm .. i'll keep it on tooo :) ye5awfooooooooon !! they have this look .. channa rayyal ye6al3ech mo ebnaya
i would wear it infront of lesbo's and gays...bs let me wear it first :P
a man is a man and a women is a women. so it is better 2 play it safe.
Thank God somebody thought of this topic. I started having this discussion with my brain a couple of years ago but never arrived to a conclusion.
You know what? I am gonna tease my girlfriends that are met7ajbeeen.. looool. khaleehom yefootoo bil 7eit...lool
wow ! walla this is serious !! bs I think it wont matter .. I mean people can act they way the wana but they cant change the fact that they are who they REALLY are .. bs madry !! you make sure oo tell us about it :P
loool ee wala sij ! :P
Did you see Oprahs show today? it was about that... and about ppl who were neither men nor female ! even their private parts you cant tell if its a woman or a man.. something to do with genetics.
I agree with all the above comments
hmmm interesting...it makes sense in a very weird way
That is some question, I should say. I never thought I would wear my hejab in front of a lesbian.. yeah she might hit on me in some way.. but so can straight men even if I was wearing my hejab. As for gay men, I think I'd keep my hejab, some guys just play gay to get closer to girls, I've seen them on TV! Even if they were really gay.. I think it's still a safer choice.
Either ways.. I think it goes beyond that and at the end, you should do what makes more sense to you.
wahahahahhaahahhhahahahahahahaahahahahahaa
youre a genius u know that? :P
Here's the thing, Gays and Lesbians shouldn't even be in the equation because they should be dealt with according to Islamic rules on perverted sexual orientation, so they shouldn't exist in the first place.
..but since the rules aren't applied, you have to deal with them as straights since there is no other verdict about the thing.
Go with what you have, don't use the lack of a more detailed rule as an excuse to over-look it.
Hi my name is Mal. I think that Islam is based on logic. Man or woman we should not take the Hijab off if we know that the person is Gay. As for gay men we still should not take it off as we are not clear of there intentions. I believe this because when i was in high school i knew a girl who admired my hair, eyes and my smile. I later found out that she admired them sexually. Hijab will protect you from the eye of lesbians. I wear it now but i wish i wore it then.
Are you seriously asking such a question? Subhanallah. If you know the deen well, then you'd know that first of all, such idealogies are not allowed in Islam. And second, women are to be convered in front of men regardless...
Women, covering infront of any non-mmahram man and a disbeliever (regardless of gender) is an obligation, Gays and Lesbians are not Muslims therefore you must cover up infront of both of them, Allah only allows women to be uncovered infront of their mahrams (not including paternal uncles) and their own women (Muslim women) but not the disbelievers
