Question

Is it permissible for females to wear a scarf tied in the shape of camel hump at home, with one’s immediate family?

Answer

Since females are prohibited in the narration from tying their hair (or scarf) in the shape of a camel hump, one should refrain from doing so at all times.

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ” صِنْفَانِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ لَا أَرَاهُمَا بَعْدُ، نِسَاءٌ كَاسِيَاتٌ عَارِيَاتٌ، مَائِلَاتٌ، مُمِيلَاتٌ، عَلَى رُءُوسِهِنَّ أَمْثَالُ أَسْنِمَةِ الْبُخْتِ الْمَائِلَةِ، لَا يَرَيْنَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَلَا يَجِدْنَ رِيحَهَا (مسند احمد)

“مائلات” أي : إلى الرجال “رؤوسهن كأسمة البخت” يعني يعظمن رؤوسهن بالخمر والقلنسوة حتى تشبه اسنمة البخت “المائلة” من الميل لأن أعلى السنام يميل لكثرة شحمه “لا يدخلن الجنة ولا يجدن ريحها وإن ريحها ليوجد من مسيرة كذا وكذا” أي : يوجد من مسيرة أربعين عاماً. (روح البيان ص28 ج2)
