[quote]Bismillah. May Allah soften our hearts to the truth. May Allah Guide us to the straight path. Saba, I have taken a few moments over the past few days and wanted to share one more thing. Again, you can disregard it if you feel inclined: There is a concept in Islamic Law (Shariah) called ijma, which means consensus. According to our traditions of Islamic thought and scholarship as well as the Shariah, if there is complete ijma on an issue it becomes a decided matter. If there is disagreement, then the issue remains open to discussion within the Islamic scholarly tradition. I will be generous, and rather than a single generation of scholarship (which is our tradition), I will grant a wide time frame of 1000 years: Can you please give me one recognized scholar from the time of the Prophet (upon whom be blessings and peace) to the 11th Hijri century (or about 6th Century to 16th). InshaAllah you will find ijma. Or, scholarly consensus on this issue - From the Prophets (peace be upon them all), the companions of Muhammad (peace be upon them - who learned directly from his words, which is revelation). Following them (may Allah be pleased with them) we have generations of scholars who followed those teachings. Kindly, provide for me one recognized scholar who disagreed that hijab is obligatory during those 1000 years (and the burden of proof is upon you since there is a scholarly ijma (consensus)) on this issue. As generation after generation of scholars following the Prophet (upon whom be blessings and peace) agreed. InshaAllah you will correct me. BarakAllah fiikum.[/quote]
