Question:
_
What should Muslim men do
when their wives or other Muslim women are being mistreated on the streets? For
example, if someone makes a derogatory comment about a man's wife or if someone
pulls of her hijab. How should men/husbands react to these kinds of situation?
Answer: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
_ In
such situations, Muslim men should defuse the situation with calmness, prudence
and lofty character.
The long term solution to such problems is that Muslims should become practising Muslims; they should adopt the teachings of Islam in all aspects of their lives. When the non-Muslims see the lofty character of the Muslims and the beauty of the teachings of Islam, they will themselves stop this kind of unruly behaviour towards the Muslims. |
