    Salaam guys,
    I have 2 questions: 1. How to wear Hijab?
    2. Where to get some in Limerick?

    Thanks,
    Bevvie

    Hijab comes from the Arabic word حجب which means to cover. It is not simply a head scarf as some believe but a way of covering your entire body - sadly many are ignorant of this. I saw a sister one day wearing a head scarf with shorts and T shirt and that was in a Muslim country.

    There is a difference of opinion on how much a woman should cover, one opinion saying everything but the hands and face and the other saying the face must also be covered. I think the first opinion is correct and it is held by Sheikh Al Albani.

    Clothes however should be loose and not attractive in that they draw the attention of men.

    Maybe you could contact your local mosque or even the Islamic cultural centre in Dublin and they can put you in contact with some Muslim Women or you could improvise and use a shawl or scarf of some kind. Maybe youtube has a tutorial video on how to wear one

    Hiya Bevvie,

    I spotted a couple of Muslim girls lately wearing headscarves as depicted in the video above, but what made us grin at each other was that I was wearing the same scarf, but around my neck, and they were all gotten in Penneys!

    As an aside, a google on "muslim fashion" will get lots of really interesting blogs and websites on how individual women adhere to hijab in their own way.

    All the best :)
