Question:
Assalamualaikum!!
I would be very delighted if you could clarify this question- Why girls wear hijab in Islam and boys don’t (considering both have to observe lowering their gazes).
Apologies, I am not the one with this query. I have a non Muslim friend who has raised this question in a discussion. Being a girl, I feel obliged to take a stand for Islam. I don’t normally join such discussions but I feel this one time, I should.
Please provide a full explanation of hijab, what is the essence of wearing it, why girls have to wear it and not boys, etc.
JazakAllah Khair!!
Answer:
Wa `alaykum salam,
Hijab is a means of protection. Please view this video, Hijab Garden, for further explanation.
