In some areas, it is a custom that a woman who does not have any brother makes a strange man her sworn brother; similarly, a man who does not have any sister makes a strange woman his sworn sister, and by giving this sworn brother or sister the status of a real brother or sister, Hijab (purdah) is also not observed with them, whereas in Shari'ah, a sworn brother or sister has no status, they are strangers, and observing Hijab from them is necessary. (Aham Masail / Vol: 6)
Two Types of Women and Quranic Guidance
As soon as you step out of the house, you encounter two types of women. The first type: consists of those women who are suffering from the disease of the wife of Aziz of Egypt. Well-adorned, wearing perfume, unveiled... they are saying through their state of being, ” هَيْتَ لَكَ ” (Come to me). The second type: is the woman who adheres to modesty and Hijab, but necessity brought her out of the house. She says through her state of being, ” حَتَّى يُصْدِرَ الرِّعَاءُ وَأَبُونَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ ” (Until the shepherds take away their flocks, and our father is a very old man). With the first type of women, you should deal in the same way as Hazrat Yusuf (peace be upon him) did, that is, say ” مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ ” (Allah forbid / Allah protect me). And with the second type of women, you should deal in the same way as Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) did, that is, help them with respect and manners, and get busy with your work, and remember the command of Allah: ” فَسَقَىٰ لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلَّىٰ إِلَى الظِّلِّ ” (So he watered [their flocks] for them, then he turned back to the shade). Because Yusuf (peace be upon him) became the Aziz of Egypt on account of his chastity and purity. And Due to the excellent conduct of Musa (peace be upon him), Allah blessed him with a righteous wife and a peaceful residence.
