[eyeliner]

^ saif i wouldve given you a karma for that, but it says i have to spread reputation.......i agree

[Saifullah]

Yea i dont understand this reputation thing, its always sayin spread some

[Iqra]

Saif, are you asking because of what Zahro said?

Honestly I don't see what's wrong with what she does/ said..and I can see it as respect. Respect for an Elder ... etc etc.

[شمله ور خراساني]

I wear it in front of my father but my brothers are younger so I dont.

why? is your father non-mahram and your brothers mahram?

[Mayana]

I don't wear it at home.. right now I'm wearing capris and a tank top

But yes, I know many girls that do.. I don't see anything wrong with it.. maybe I'll do it too soon. I'm new to this whole poranai business so I learn

[Iqra]

maybe I can't read...that's what it must be!

Its not respect, how is wearing a scarf respect? A scarf in Islam on your head is called Hijab, which is required in front of non-mahram...when u wear a scarf in front of non-mahram is that for respect??? I think we need to show respect to our mahram by showing them that they are our family and the closeness is shown by not having to wear a scarf, what a silly burden that is.

So please we need our women to stop disrespecting their mahram by equating them wid non-mahrams

[Sheenka]

u dont have to wear scarf at home
i went to my freind house she is arabic she wears proper nice scarf outside but in their home non of them wear scarf

[Mayana]

Nah you don't have to but it's about your habits.. if you are in the habit of always covering yourself, you're not gonna feel comfortable in a revealing attire, even if you're just by yourself. And I think that's the reason some women cover themselves even at home. You should dress the way you feel comfortable at home. If that involves a poranai, good. If that involved capris and a tank top, good.

very true mayana khori

[Saifullah]

Yea if u are comfortable with wearing it coz u are used to it fine...but when people say its about respecting your mahrams, that makes me laugh...coz i wud find that disrespectful if i had a daughter or female mahram wearing a scarf on her head around me...

Like it shouldn't be something u shud feel u have to do.

But then again, wrora, that's just you. I know my dad doesn't appreciate it when I am not covered.. ALTHOUGH he is my maharam, it's not about that.. for our people it is about exposing yourself.
People back home put on a poranai when they hear the azan.
People back home put on a poranai when they eat.

It's a different mentality; you grew up with one mindset, other people have different mindsets. I don't wear a poranai at home but I know my father would appreciate it more if I did.

[Sheenka]

u r r right ^
my dad hates when someone dont wear scarf or wears short sleeves

[Saifullah]

But that is wrong, sorry...Exposing yourself means nakedness or half-nakedness...i am talking about putting a scarf on your head and if you do not have a scarf on your head that is not exposing yourself...

It is the wrong maintality to feel bad if your daughter or somebody doesn;t wear a scarf in front of u. WHY??????? Because she doesn't have to, Islam has not put any restriction on her and she is free in her home. Her home shouldn't feel like the outside...our cultures are like that, it puts a burden upon people for no reason

[Saifullah]

Ill repeat this again, i am talking about head scarf....if u put a scarf around ur body that is good because even in front of mahram u still can't dress in a bad way exposing yourself...but scarf is too much to be wanting your daughter or someone to wear it at home
