يجوز للمرأة أن تأخذ من شعر رأسها من الأمام أو من الخلف على وجه لا تصل به إلى حد التشبه برأس الرجل

  Ustādh Mūsá Richardson answers questions from two boys concerning the status of a stepmother in regards to lineage and the status of a (married) couple who embrace Islām, having been unchaste pre-Islām. This exchange exemplifies the need and benefit in entertaining such topics from boys and girls, should they show a desire (and maturity) to understand them. Sheltering children from topics of relationships whilst exposing them to the vulgarity of popular culture and lowly discourse in society (via school etc.) is harmful and counterproductive.

 Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said: “Muslims agree that intentionally failing to pray a compulsory prayer is from the greatest of the major sins, and that this sin is worse than murder, adultery, stealing, plundering, and consuming alcohol, and that whoever does this is prone to Allāh’s anger, punishment, and humiliation in both this world and the next.”

قال: لا يختلف المسلمون أن ترك الصلاة المفروضة عمدا من أعظم الذنوب وأكبر الكبائر وأن إثمه عند الله أعظم من إثم قتل النفس وأخذ الأموال ومن إثم الزنا والسرقة وشرب الخمر وأنه متعرض لعقوبة الله وسخطه وخزيه في الدنيا والآخرة

 Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Sāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn (رحمه الله) said: “Covering the head is optional, since a man’s ʿawrah is between his navel and his knees; however, whenever a man needs to pray, he should wear the finest clothing that his compatriots wear to pray.”

لا يجب تغطية الرأس لأن العورة الواجب سترها ما بين السرة والركبة ولكن ينبغي للإنسان إذا أراد أن يصلى أن يصلى بأحسن لبسة يلبسها الناس في زمانه ومكانه

Shaykh Muḥammad Amān al-Jāmī (رحمه الله) said:

The mere existence of scholars of al-jarḥ wa-al-taʿdīl (the science of criticism and praise in Islām) is a favour from Allāh and a form of preservation of His religion.
