*please listen to lecture to get full references and evidences these notes are merely just a summary from points in lecture*

Notes taken by: Yasriyyah “Umm Abdur-Rahman”

These notes are a summary of the lecture, I am not in any way a student of knowledge I am amongst the common folk. I just wanted to share the many benefits I got from lecture. BaarakuAllahu feekunna


When the companion met one another they would not leave each other until they recited Al Asr

Advise one other if we see someone openly falling into tabarooj we advise for the sake of Allah

What is tabarooj? Displaying ones beauty and adornments

Example of Tabarooj

1. If the jilbab does not cover and conceal the whole of the woman's body

        (Starts from the shoulder and not from head)
        jilbab comes from the shoulder it contradicts the word  Ala (something coming from the highest place)
        Alaa’ hinna means (the way the salaf understood meaning) to draw from the highest point of the woman (i.e. head) (ref to the arabic 33:59)
        If it it worn from the shoulder it would show the shape of the woman's body.
        If it worn from the head it will conceal all of the body from the head, the chest,  and whatever lies below that

Jilbab from the Shoulder
      is known as the shoulder abaya'
      this is known as a form of tabarooj
       chk 33:59 alaa means from the highest point
AAalayhinna min jalabeebihinna (transliteration)


2.  It is a form of tabarooj if the jilbab comprises of 2 separate pieces
      a piece for  top of body
      a piece for bottom of body
      Like someone wearing a long skirt and a shirt and a piece covering her hair this is Tabarooj
This contradicts what the jilbab is among the scholars it is one piece that cover the whole body

3. It is a form of tabarooj if the jilbab is seen as Zeena (beauty) and an adornment within itself
        fish stockings for ppl to see is tabarooj
      diamonds and rhinestones on garments is tabarooj
      ruffles on the back of overgarment like they are going to a ball this is tabarooj

Wisdom behind the jilbab being legislated is for the woman to cover her beauty and adornments  in front of men who are strangers

Other important points 

Wearing a badge or a flower on top of the jilbab on head like the comb of a rooster (i.e like big hijab pins, brooches, that attract attention)
      the woman who wears these type of thing does not understand the purpose of the Jilbab
      or playing games with her religion

It is tabarooj if the jilbab itself is an adornment stay away from those type of jilbab
      muslimah written on it
      niqabi written on it
      embroidery going up and down the arm
      the shoulder jilbabs stay far away from it
