Camel Hump Hijabs

Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu Anhu reports that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said: “There are two categories of people of the fire (jahannam) which I haven’t seen (non-existent at that time). Amongst them are……women who are clothed yet they are naked, attracting (to males) and are attracted to (by males). Their heads are like that of a camel’s hump which are tilted. Such women will not enter Jannah nor will they smell its fragrance although its fragrance can be smelt from a long distance.” (Muslim)

In the above Hadeeth, “a camel’s hump which are tilted” refers to women hairstyling their heads by tying head cloths or scarfs on them which look like the tilted hump of a camel. (Takmilah-Fathul Mulhim 5/118-119)

In different parts of the world this type of hairstyle is called “camel hump hijab”, “beehive hijab”, “volumanised hijab” or “khaleeji hijab” etc.

Accordingly, this type of ‘hairstyling’ for women is not allowed as it is understood from the above Hadeeth.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
