"Do you have hair?" or "Do you sleep with the hijab?"

These are just some of the common questions that Muslim women who wear hijabs get.

We asked an ustazah, a religious teacher, some other common FAQs about wearing the hijab and more.

This was very educational, thanks so much for covering this topic.
As a Chinese born Singaporean, these topics were only mentions in passing, but never explained.
Also my own fault for not finding out more about other religions in my community.
Great short-documentary :)

I love how clear her explanations are! especially when she explained how Islam is a beautiful religion that encourages us to seek knowledge when practicing religious obligations. Yes Islam is a peaceful and nonjudgemental religion :)

When you see a female dressed in a manner that is unacceptable Islamically, do not for a moment think she is lower than you spiritually.She might have a heart that is tons better than yours.She might have one weakness that is outward, and you have 50 weaknesses that are hidden.
Sri Lanka clothes, as do my mother, sister and extended family. None of us chooses to wear the hijab; we believe that our faith is in our hearts rather than in our clothing

Just a note about the niqab vs burqa vs hijab.
Some women wear what they wear based upon interpretations of hadith and the Qu'ran. Not only due to culture or country.

If this question was asked in Malaysia, the whole country would go havoc.
Good job, SG.
A good example of multi-religious country.

Good to know this. I had thought that only women who had gone on the pilgrimage to Mecca had the right to wear the tudung.

[elliedrum]

[selvanaidu]

Thanks for sharing this! So informative! Now i understand! :))

[duaaa]

I just wanna know that's head cover is more important or covering body specially chest area. I saw many female how cover her head but wear skin tight or short dress. What I believe that covering your body is more important than covering your hair. What's do you think

[tintank]

Thank you for this series, it really helps us to understand our friends' culture

3:42 maybe you don't understand how hair dye works, anyway hair dye is not haram...check any scholar will say it's not haram...they might say nail polish is a coating that won't allow water, but not hair dye!

[izzaismail]

thanks for doing this video. please make this a series, and cover other commonly-asked questions such as, why do sikhs have common last names? why do sikhs wear turbans? why do taoists have deities in their homes? etc.

[gailm]

Thank you! My daughter is marrying into a Muslim family and I appreciate this information so I can better understand her future mother in law. She is a darling woman who I am sure would have explained this to me herself had I asked, but felt I should not. Thank you.

[NurNasuhaa]

Im reeealllyy curious about the Sikhs' turbans pls do a video abt that too!

[mayam]

Will you be sharing such videos for other faiths too? After all, Singapore is multi-religious.

Hair coloring?? I didn't know this. I thought hair color was just coloring the hair, not puting a layer on it or that doesn't allow water to pass!

[christelsands]

A suggestion to anyone, religious or otherwise, who wants to promote understanding, peace, harmony, etc.:

List the verses/sayings/quotes from your belief system/faith and practise them. Do the good you are supposed to do to others instead of trying to make others understand you. Someone said that it is easier to change yourself than to change others.

So true.

You want to compete, sure, compete on that basis.

Then, I am pretty confident the world would be a better place for all.

[ashishrana]

She didn't tell why Islam wants to cover their women head. Misleading title. 🤦
