Islamic Women questions and answers

Find more information on the Islamic Religion @ The Adherents Religion Website.

Q: Are Islamic women cool with their husband having three other wives?
Muhammed said a guy could, but Muhammed never asked the women was it ok. So my question is, are the women ok with it? but at that time, they say that 9 years old was when girls became women, or something like that.

A: It is the one thing we accept; however, fear the most. I hope this answers your question. Some choose the second and or third wife for their husband; gives them more ammunition to use against him; they stick together they are in control, they fight with each other giving him endless headaches; they are in control.

Q: Who are some people who fought for islamic women's rights?
I was looking for some protestors for ISLAMIC womens rights, but I couldn't find any. Does anyone know anybody?

A: Check out Amina Wadud

Q: What is the thing that Islamic women wear on their heads?
What is that for? Just that two girls moved to our school from Pakistan and I see them wearing it when they go outside, but they wear it like a scarf when inside.

A: yea, it's called "hijab" they wear it b/c the qur'an says that believing women (referring to Muslim women) should bring the veil on their heads to cover their chests as well...and so we have a hijab it's for modesty and as a reminder that women are not just items of beauty and we should value ourselves as more than that what they wear inside their homes is something cultural i'm assuming (if it is longer and worn around the shoulders) in Pakistan, it's called a dupatta unless you mean they unfold their hijabs when they're inside the school..then idk what they're doing... :) peace Allahu A'lam

Q: Is there anything good for women in Islamic Law?
I was wondering if Islamic Law offers any goodness to women, all I ever hear about is its restrictions and how a woman is only property.

A: The Taliban herded women into soccer fields and beheaded them in public because they did not dress correctly or were accused of a violation of Islamic law by a man. A Saudi man killed his niece because she did not wear a scarf in public and women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia Now, answer your own question

Q: Are Islamic Women the most purest when it comes to marriage?
Because from what I've heard, you HAVE to be a virgin in Islam before you get married, if not, you're stoned. So are Muslim women the most pure on earth when it comes to sexuality and marriage? why shake head in disgust? I said Islam, not Christianity. :)

A: In a lot of Islamic cultures the only thing that matters is an intact hymen. So women have oral and anal sex and sometimes intercourse, and then they get hymen reconstruction surgery so they are eligible for marriage. This usually only applies to more upper class Muslim women and to Muslim women who live in liberal societies/countries. Muslim women in more traditional countries and in poorer areas get married young, when they are about 14-16 or even younger. If you want a "pure" woman convert to Islam and then marry a 14 year old Muslim girl, to ensure that she is "pure". With the others it's often false advertising.

Q: Why don't moderate Muslims speak out against terrorism and the abuse of Islamic women?
Are they afraid of being shunned by other Muslims or do they secretly agree with a more radical interpretation of Islam? What abuse of women in Turkey?

A: they do

Q: Are women in the west what the Islamic Terrorists are scared of?
Because we have women senators, secretaries of state, governors, business leaders, all that. Is that what the Islamic terrorists are scared of? Women in power? so definiatly people like Paris Hilton? destroy me?

A: Dear Friend, This is a "spiritual" war. Not physical. Terrorists promote "fear" in order to "control." Satan uses this type of tactic quite effectively. Terrorists believe that their god, is the only god, and whomever worships another God, is the infidel. They believe that Israel is the little Satan and the United States is the Great Satan and they are out to destroy them, which includes you and me. WAKE UP!

Q: Whats the most strict place in the world for Islamic women?


A: Saudi Arabia.

Q: How many women in islamic countries die due to botched back street abortions?


A: The ones who get stoned for having sex outside of marriage...you mean those women? If we had that here there would be fewer woman wanting abortions now wouldn't there...

Q: Islamic women could you please tell me how you feel about your hijab?
Does this video from Youtube represent your personal feelings? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUKXuw2fGEg&feature=related I posted it here and in Ramadan. It is my understanding that many Islamic women avoid that category.

A: Not important, since I don't cover in the first place; others will tell you different. What's the difference to you ? It won't help you so I suggest moving on..Besides; my situation has got nothing to do with choice; I can't wear it period; I have a fear of things going over my head and especially my face; it's so bad I won't even let my husband undress me.

Q: Why are Muslim women wearing that Islamic rubbish tolerated in the west when a woman wearing proper clothes ?
would not be tolerated in Islamic countries?

A: The old double standard.

Q: WHY DO Islamic women dress to conceal their beauty and in other religions it's OK to expose their beauty?
What does this contrast in clothing mean, Are Men really the authors of religion and why do women agree to this,Where is the happy medium.Men have sexy bodies too !! lizard,women have lustful thoughts too,and brains.. that statement is not logical cathy that is cute,no more bad hair days

A: I think that the head covering is beautiful. I wish it was in my tradition.
