carefully so that the sound of their jewellery is low. A Ruling: Therefore, women should not wear anklets which jingle. It is stated in a blessed Hadees: Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ does not accept the supplication of a community whose women wear anklets. (Tafseerat-e-Ahmadiyyah, pp. 565)

One should understand that if the sound of jewellery can be a reason for the supplication remaining unaccepted, then surely the voice of a woman (being heard by non-Mahram men without a Shar’i exemption) and her unveiling will invite the wrath of the Almighty. Carelessness in respect of veiling can lead to disaster. (Khaza`in-ul-‘Irfan, pp. 566) Any man who does not prevent his wife and Mahram female relatives from unveiling despite having the power to do so, is termed as a ‘Dayyoos’. The following is a warning by the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, ‘Three types of people shall never enter Paradise, a Dayyoos, a woman that adopts masculine style and an alcoholic.’

(Majma’-uz-Zawaid, vol. 4, pp. 599, Hadees 7722)

‘Allamah ‘Alauddin Haskafi عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی wrote the following about a ‘Dayyoos’: Dayyoos is a person who does not care about his wife or any other Mahram woman’s (indecent) behaviour with other men.

(Durr-e-Mukhtar, vol. 6, pp. 113)

Therefore, obey the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Protect yourself from unlawful gazes and also advise your family members to observe Pardah. One way of implementing the Shar’i Pardah at home is to associate your family members with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. Send them to the weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ of Islamic sisters of Dawat-e-Islami that is held in your area.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! From the platform of Dawat-e-Islami – the global non-political movement for propagation of the Quran and Sunnah – countless institutions have been established in various countries across the world, under the name of Madrasa-tul-Madinah. Thousands of Madaris-ul-Madinah Balighat for Islamic sisters are also conducted in different timings at different places. Islamic brothers teach Islamic brothers and Islamic sisters teach Islamic
