The "Nafka" Battle

What does Shariah say about this? 

Latest style in Islamic headscarves, the ‘puffed’ Hijab, riles conservatives.




It’s called the Abu-Nafkha-style Hijab. It’s popular, especially among teenagers and women with a flare for the flamboyant, and it has clerics and fashion aficionados fuming.



Abu-Nafkha is a relatively new style of Hijab, the religious headscarf worn by Muslim women, and is slowly gaining popularity throughout the Arab world.



The style is called Abu-Nafkha, or “puffed” because it involves creating a bulge under the scarf, usually by placing a large floral hair clip at the back of the head to add volume. This makes women look as if they have very thick hair.

Muslimah Maternity wear

 Maternity wear is so expensive firstly and only available at selected stores.  When you buy same the price is a huge factor and then a lot of alterations need to be done.  The clothing can not be worn thereafter, only during other pregnancies, whats your say?

Please read what Sister Safiyya has to say, she definitely says what we all feel

Assalamu Alaikum Sisters



I am a Muslim woman who loves wearing clothing which is not extremely revealing and I do feel that we pay a huge price for certain items we require. Although I will never understand why we have to pay more just because it might be maternity wear, or larger sizes for the fuller figure, I think nothing is impossible and we should make every effort to establish what resources are available to us.



Yes, Abayas are the most convenient, and since a woman only needs bigger clothing for 8 or 9 months, I feel it is quite futile to spend large sums on items you most probably will not wear again.



We have tons of tailors at our disposal and I think it would be nice if we could have maternity wear sewn as it can always be altered and made smaller thereafter.



In this way, we will be saving a considerable amount and giving rozi to our local tailors. If we can have Islamic swim wear, why not maternity wear. Perhaps someone out there will hear us and start manufacturing Islamic maternity wear, Insha Allah. Ameen.

Scarfs for you
