SO-CALLED ‘MUFTI’ MENK & THE FEMALE
PILOT – VIOLATING THE LAWS OF HIJAAB
Allah Ta’ala commands: ‘And (O Women!)
Remain firmly in your homes.’ (Surah 33 – Aayat 33)
Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said: “Woman is Aurah (i.e. an object of
concealment). When she emerges (from her home) shaitaan casts
surreptitious glances at her (to ambush her and manipulate her for fitnah).
And undoubtedly the closest she is to Allah Ta`ala is when she is at the
The Hadeeth of the blind Sahaabi is sufficient explanation of what the Deen
expects from us concerning the Shar’i Laws of Hijaab. Recently, the Menk chap
was in the ‘air’ and this is what he had to say:
“…I flew from Lagos to Abuja. And you won’t believe it. I jumped onto this plane…And as I went on – Subhaan-Allahi – you know there are pilots…they are flying us...they are doing us a favour – right – flying us. There was a woman who came out from the front. She had proper Hijaab – proper Hijaab! She was covered correctly. She was very well dressed. She carried herself in a very respectful way. She addressed the people in a very respectful way. And I saw her come in and go out. She went in and a little while later they jumped in and the plane started moving. I said Subhaan-Allah – …we are being flown by a sister in the Deen…We are proud of those who can maintain their Deen – their connection with Allah – whilst they have gone to the sky – literally to the sky…” (End of the Menk Shaitaan’s comment) If one reads the Aayat and the Ahaadeeth quoted above, one will realise that
Menk is off-track. Now let us analyse some facts to have an idea of how far the
Menk Shaytaan has drifted from the Deen.
VIOLATING THE LAWS OF HIJAAB EVEN IN THE AIR
The following explanation will give us some understanding of Hijaab and also
reveal how deviate and ignorant this Menk chap is of the Qur’aan and Sunnah.
1) Women must remain at home. They may not emerge from their homes
unnecessarily. It is known as Hijaabul Ash-Khaas Bil Buyoot which means that
a strange man (Ghair Mahram man) will not see the woman at all to the extent
that he does not see her even with her clothes on. Since he does not see her at
all, her face, palms and her entire body is automatically concealed from him.
This is the highest level of Qur’anic Hijaab (Purdah) commanded in at least two
Aayaat and proven by several Ahaadeeth. There are at least 24 Ahaadeeth which
substantiate the Shar’i Law that women must remain glued to their homes and
they may only emerge from their homes for necessities deemed imperative by
the Shariah – not so-called necessities which human minds fabricate.
Pg. 3 of 6
Many women have a misconception regarding Hijaab. Some feel that a
cloak and a scarf is a licence for them to go here and there. Others feel that
the Burqah warrants emergence from the home. Others feel that the
Niqaab justifies that they may go to malls, souks, etc.
However, this lopsided understanding of ‘Hijaab’ is totally incorrect. Whilst the
scarf, plain cloak, Jilbaab, Burqah, Niqaab, etc. are undoubtedly items of
Hijaab, these items do not sanction a woman to emerge from her home for just
any reason whatsoever. And then others are so shameless, that they emerge from
their homes without even a headscarf! Have Muslims become so immoral???
So firstly, it will have to be ascertained if the Shariah allows her to emerge from
her home or not, and then the Niqaab, Jilbaab, etc. will fall into place. Therefore,
one needs to understand that Hijaab is a concept. Hijaab has a purpose and the
Noble Qur’aanic Laws of Hijaab are meant for the purity and morality of both
men and women. Hijaab is not a licence for Haraam female emergence from
the home. Explaining this, Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi states:
“The actual aim underlying the divine restrictions and prohibitions of Hijaab
is total concealment of women – that they do not emerge from their homes. The
main duty of women is to engage in their domestic affairs. Thus, true and
original Hijaab directed by the Shariah is Hijaab Bil Buyoot (Concealment
within homes).”
2) Female Pilot: To become a professional pilot flying for these international
airlines, etc. is undoubtedly Haraam. There is a booklet explaining this in detail
entitled ‘Becoming a Pilot’, which is available on the website of As-Saadiqeen
Islamic Centre (www.asic-sa.co.za).
The un-Islamic dressing, wearing trousers below the ankles for males,
intermingling of the sexes, males looking at females, females looking at males,
solitude with Ghair Mahrams, Zina of various degrees, assisting in sin (I’aanat
A’lal Ma’siyat), massacring the laws of Hijaab, females emerging from their
home, speaking to Ghair Mahrams and so many sins are associated with the
profession of becoming a pilot.
The scenario of Menk and the female pilot highlights much of the sins already.
