Fatwaa
from Shaikh AbdulAziz Bin Abdullah Bin Bazz (Rahimahullah)
From his book 'Islamic Fatwas regarding Women' Page
#259
Question:
What is the ruling concerning one who ridicules those who wear the proper hijab
and cover their faces and hands?
Response:
Whoever ridicules a Muslim woman or man for sticking to and applying the
teachings of Islam is a disbeliever.
This is regardless of whether it is concerning woman's hijab or any other matter
of the Shariah. This is based on the following narration from ibn Umar: At a
gathering during the Battle of Tabuk, one man said, "I have not seen anyone
like our Quranic readers who is more desirous of food, more lying in speech and
more cowardly when meeting the enemy." A man said, "You have lied and
you are a liar. I shall definitely tell the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu Álayhi
Wasallam) about that." That news was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah and
the Quran was revealed. Abdullah ibn Umar added, "I saw the man holding on
to the bag of the camel of the Messenger of Allah and the dust was striking him
while he was saying, 'O Messenger of Allah, we were just joking and playing. The
Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) was simply saying the verse of
the Quran],
"Was it Allah,
and His Signs and His Messenger you were mocking? Make no excuse, you have
disbelieved after you had believed. If We pardon some of you, We will punish
others among you because they were sinners" (al-Tauba 65-66). So
ridiculing believers has been equated with ridiculing Allah, His Signs and His
Messenger.
