-Fatimah ر ضي الله عنها in Akham An Nisa
1. “Do not see the men”
What is meant by this statement are three things:
•These Muslim women do not look at men and they lower their gaze whenever a non mahram is around, so they “do not see the men.”
•These Muslim women do not free mix with non mahram men, and don’t attend events or gatherings where non mahram men will be in the same area as women, so they “do not see the men.”
•These Muslim women stick to their homes as Allah has commanded them to, and rarely leave their houses except when there is a necessity. That is another reason why they “do not see the men.”
2. “Are not seen by the men”
This statement does not only mean women should just veil and that’s it, it’s much deeper than that.
In the time of Fatimah, many women adhered to the niqab, so this statement of hers does not necessitate that a woman who wears niqab is the best woman. Rather they are other conditions to be fulfilled, in addition to her veiling.
These Muslim women who “are not seen by the men” do not display themselves unnecessarily to non-mahram men, even if they are fully covered in the correct hijab.
They stay in their homes and only come out when needed, they don’t prance around in the streets, or stay outside all day for fun just because they have the niqab on.
Nor, do they stay at home, but then post pictures and videos of themselves online in niqab for everyone to see, save and share.
The Best Women adhere to the correct shar’iah hijab, and stay in their homes and leave when it’s necessary, they don’t willingly show themselves to non-mahram and because of this they remain to not be seen by the men and maintain not seeing the men.
