'Is Hijab REALLY a requirement in Islam?' with Dr. Sitara Akram
In this conversation with Dr. Sitara Akram, we candidly discuss the controversy and complexity of hijab, and question its status as fard (mandatory) in Islam.
We also discuss terms like 'tabarruj, 'zeenah' and 'feminism', and address the Qur'anic perspective on modesty and behaviour, while taking into account the societal and historical context of revelation.
