A Treatise On Hijab & A Compilation Of Questions Pertaining To Family Matters By Shaikh Muhammad bin Salih Al-Uthaimeen

Hijab is not a cultural practice or a symbol — it is an obligation established in the Qur'an and the Sunnah, and one of the most visible expressions of a Muslim woman's submission to her Lord. Yet questions about hijab, its conditions, its limits, and its application in contemporary life are among the most frequently asked — as are questions about the broader domain of family life: marriage, relations between spouses, children, and the responsibilities that Islamic law places on the Muslim household.

A Treatise on Hijab and a Compilation of Questions Pertaining to Family Matters by Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymin addresses both — the obligations of hijab with their textual evidence, and the most important questions on family matters with his characteristic clarity and precision.

What This Book Covers

The Treatise on Hijab

Shaykh al-Uthaymin establishes the obligation of hijab from the Qur'an and Sunnah and addresses its conditions — what must be covered, what constitutes proper hijab and what falls short of it, and the wisdom behind this obligation. He addresses directly the argument that hijab is merely conventional modesty, distinguishing between what the Shari'ah actually requires and what is a matter of culture or personal preference.

Questions on Family Matters

The compilation of fatawa covers the most common questions that arise within Muslim family life: the rights and obligations of spouses toward one another, questions related to marriage and its conditions, rulings on divorce and its types, the obligations of parents toward children and children toward parents, and related matters — all answered from the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah.
