Hijab

• Q1 - I have a non-Muslim German friend and we are close enough that he invited me to his home. I have met his family and he wants to see my wife's picture. Can I show him my wedding pictures with my wife in them? 

  A - It is okay to show your family pictures as long as they are covered in full hijab.

• Q2 - My wife likes to dress up my five year old daughter in shorts when she goes out. She says it is not haram. But I don't like it, what does Islam say about this? 

  A - It is good if you strengthen your communication with your wife and talk and discussyour ideological principles. When both of you are on the same page it is easier to implement. Yes from a nurturing point of view training our children from younger age about haya and iffat (modesty, chastity) will have a good impact for theirfuture both in their worldly and spiritual lives.

• Q3 - I have a co-worker who is a lesbian and she is only attracted to women. Since I am a woman, do I have to wear hijab in front of her or can I leave it off? Is it mostahab or vajeb? 

  A - It is better to cover. Mustahab and wajib depends on conditions and if you feel that there is aprobability that they will look lustfully towards you then you need to cover.
