How to tie a Muslim headscarf on your head. If you use a scarf folded into a ribbon. An interesting way to tie a bandana

29.05.2019

Hello dear readers. I was prompted to write this article by an unremarkable, but very revealing fact. Yesterday, in one of the social networks, one person “knocked” on my friend. Usually I always agree to be friends with people, but I deliberately rejected her offer. Do you want to know why he did it? Believe me, there was a very good reason for that ...

The girl is obviously from (even the city was indicated on the page, I won’t divulge details), dressed like a “night butterfly” - her lips are brightly made up, a huge neckline, a long skirt, stilettos on her legs, a smile of 32 teeth. You will say that “nothing special, today half of the Internet is such a miracle”, but ... the head of this madam is “adorned” with a Muslim scarf, neatly tied in the form of a hijab.

Not to say that I am a deeply religious person, but at that moment the only thing I could say was Alhamdulillah! Of course, literally this expression is translated as “Praise be to Allah”, but is most often used by Muslims when something really “affects the mind”. In this case, too, the sight of this “Muslim woman” struck me so much that I could not utter anything more.

Despite the fact that in the article I conducted a small evidence-based analysis in favor of wearing a traditional Islamic headdress, in this situation I would love to tear the headscarf off this madam's head. Moreover, he would generally forbid wearing Muslim attire in this form. I don’t want to continue to rant about the “ban on wearing a hijab”, it’s better to watch an interesting discussion on this topic in Vladimir Solovyov’s program:

In the comments I will be glad to read your opinion about everything that was said in the video. I won’t write a word more about that “Muslim woman” below, since the main purpose of the article is to understand the varieties of Muslim scarves and the myths that have developed around their wearing. To be honest, before writing this article, I myself did not understand very clearly what types of clothing women have in. But, now I figured it out and I hasten to tell you about it. Believe me, you will make many interesting discoveries for yourself.

Muslim headscarf - myths and types of women's hats

If you ask a simple layman what traditional Muslim headdresses he knows, then, at best, you can hear - hijab, veil and veil. But, can you distinguish, for example, a burqa from a veil? This is where difficulties arise, although your humble servant also has serious “problems” with this. Let's figure out together what is what. Here, look:

Now, I think, it is clear that the veil is the most strict Muslim attire. And it differs from the veil in that the face is covered with a net. In addition to the three types of women's religious clothing mentioned above, there are more than a dozen varieties in Islam. We will talk about them below, but now I would like to dispel some of the myths that have developed around the hijab and others like it.

Myth #1 The Koran strictly requires a Muslim woman to hide her face.

If you show me at least one verse in the Koran that would oblige women to hide their faces, then I will publicly apologize to everyone and you can consider me ignorant. So, we open the 24 sura of the Holy Scripture, which calls "An-Nur" (Light) and see:

“Tell believing women that they are ordered not to show bodily beauty that seduces men - places where a woman wears jewelry: chest, neck, shoulders, EXCEPT FOR THE FACE and hands. Tell them to cover the places that are visible in the neckline of their clothes, like the chest and neck, throwing their head coverings over them.

Thus, the Qur'an requires women to hide their hair, chest, neck, shoulders, but not the entire face. Another thing is that some people specifically interpret the requirements of the Koran in a way that is beneficial to them. On the basis of this, all sorts of disputes and misunderstandings arise. By the way, here is one of the discussions:

Myth #2 Girls must wear the hijab from the age of majority.

This is not even a myth, but some misconception, as many people confuse the modern understanding of "adulthood" from the Muslim interpretation. In Islam, a woman is required to wear a hijab from the moment of the onset of mukallaf - the time of mental and puberty. Here it is very important that a person must mature mentally.

In the Islamic world itself, opinions are divided on the timing of the onset of mukallaf. Some pundits believe that it occurs before the age of 15, when the secondary genital organs are formed. Others argue that a person becomes mukallaf only after full puberty. This is probably why in some Arab countries it is customary to marry girls before the age of 15. Why are you surprised? There are suggestions that the Virgin Mary married Joseph at the age of 12 ...

Myth #3- Muslim headscarf is prohibited only in Christian states.

One of the first countries in which the wearing of the hijab was banned in state and educational institutions was Islamic Turkey. The Prohibition Act was passed back in 1925. After that, the same ban was introduced in Tunisia, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and recently in Azerbaijan (note, all Muslim republics), which caused outrage among believers:

What can we say about France, Holland, Germany and Belgium! Only one fact amazes me personally - how do these Europeans allow monstrous same-sex marriages, gay parades and other heresy, but prohibit people's religious preferences? This is a question that needs to be thought about.

If you wish, you can debunk many myths, but we will not reveal all the cards. Let's better understand what types of women's hats are most common in Islam today. It must be understood that the traditions of wearing Muslim headdresses can vary greatly in different parts of the world, due to the established mores, customs and gender relations in society.

Three types of hats have already been named above - these are:

Hijab is a garment that covers a woman's body from head to toe, but the face remains open. Sharia - says that the hijab should be long, but not tight or defiant. By the way, we have a wrong stereotype - by hijab we mean muslim headscarf which is not true.

Burqa - from the Persian word "faraji" - long-sleeved outerwear, used to be worn by men. Now it is most common in Central and Central Asia. As already noted, the veil covers the entire body, and on the face there is a mesh (most often made from a ponytail). By the way, in the famous film "White Sun of the Desert" Gulchatay and all the other wives of Abdullah were dressed in a veil.

A veil is a large, light-weight veil made of good-quality fabric in white, black or dark blue, which covers the entire body. Most often, women put on a veil when going outside. By the way, it has two varieties:

with an open face (called "charshaw") is more common in Azerbaijan and in the south;
with an opening for the eyes (a traditional type of veil) is common in Iran. Here is an interesting report from France about the veil:

And now let's talk about those hats that we did not mention ...

Niqab is a headdress with a slit for the eyes. It consists of three parts - a headband and two scarves sewn to the headband. One scarf is sewn on the front in two places (which leaves a slit for the eyes), the second is sewn on the back without any slits and covers the hair and neck.

Jilbab - predominantly Muslim outerwear, covering the entire body of a woman, with the exception of the arms and legs. The face may be covered with a separate scarf, but may not be covered. At the moment, it has practically lost its purpose, since the word "jilbab" in the Arab world refers to any outerwear - a coat, cloak or dress.

Burka - no, this is not the famous Caucasian attire made of sheep or ram skins. In our case, a burqa is a type of burqa common in Pakistan. The difference is that the cloak can be worn with an open face. By the way, most often a special skullcap is worn with a cloak.

Already tired? I said that muslim headscarf"not alone". Imagine how my brains "boiled" when I understood all this. So, here are a few more options - dupatta, khimar, al-amira, sheila. I will not describe them in more detail, it is better to look at the picture:

There are more than a dozen varieties of wearing Muslim headscarves, but the most common ones are shown above. If you know of any other ways, please write in the comments. We will all be interested to learn even more about the culture of wearing a female headdress.

This is where I end, but very soon, at the request of readers, I will write an interesting article about the role and place of women in Islam. Believe me, there are a lot of subtleties, nuances and stereotypes that require a sober assessment.

IMPORTANT! English needles, hairpins or hairpins will help to fix the design on the head.

What are the ways?

There are many interesting ways to tie a hijab or stole:

We tie a triangular scarf

Twist one end into a flagellum.
After that, press it to the neck.
Holding the material on one side, drag the other end of the fabric near the ear.

IMPORTANT! This method of tying is preferred by Muslim women who are over 45-50 years old.

A hijab with loose ends will cover not only the head, but also the neck. Therefore, this method of tying is suitable not only for thin summer fabrics, but also for woolen and downy products for the winter season.

Braided in hair

In the summer, a scarf woven into the hair looks original. For this, a thin rectangular fabric is suitable. How to act?

There is another way to weave a scarf into a braid and still cover your head. Tie a fabric in the form of a bandana on your head, weave the remaining hanging ends of the scarf into your hair, as in the first version. The braid can be left hanging down the back, thrown over the shoulder, or twisted into the original bump. From the remaining tips, you can tie a beautiful bow or knot.

V-way

A Turkish scarf is tied around the head in a V-shaped way. He is very original. Take a nice scarf.

The end of the scarf is fastened so that it hangs beautifully over the shoulder.

layered

Another common way to beautifully tie the fabric on the head is to apply layering. You will need a scarf with beads around the edge.

How to pin a hairpin correctly?

Any hijab, scarf, tippet can be transformed by adding a beautiful brooch or hairpin to the design tied on the head. Accessory can be fixed in any part of the scarf: side, back, center, front. Most often, a knot is closed with a hairpin or hanging folds are pinned up. Choose a bright or shiny hairpin and then your look will turn out to be more sophisticated and festive.

In addition, tricolor fabrics are often used for headdresses.

Suitable accessories

In addition to hairpins, other products can be used as accessories to give the image individuality and charm. In summer, with a scarf tied around your head, it is appropriate to wear sunglasses. Of course, this will alienate the Muslim image and bring a European touch to it. Often, modern women of fashion with a scarf on their heads wear long earrings, wrap the design with a long thread with stones or sequins, and decorate with fur or leather straps.

A significant part of the articles on our website is devoted to Muslim stories, and it is not surprising that readers receive questions regarding the appearance of a woman in Islam. It is dedicated to clothing and fashion, today we will figure out what women's hats exist in Islam.

As you try the information below on your history with a Muslim man, remember that the traditions of wearing Muslim headscarves can vary greatly in different countries and cultures.

Traditionally, hijab (translated from Arabic means veil) was called any clothing that covers the female body according to the canons of Islam. In a broader sense, the hijab is not only clothing, but also the dignified behavior, manners, speech and thoughts of a woman in Islam. It was said that the woman was dressed according to the hijab. In the modern world, a hijab is considered to be an Islamic women's head scarf that covers the hair, ears, neck, and chest. It is today the most common headdress.

Less popular, but stricter options are:

Niqab- a Muslim women's headdress covering the face with a narrow slit for the eyes. It consists of three parts: the first is tied on the forehead with ribbons at the back, the second is sewn along the edges in front (to leave a slit for the eyes), the third is behind and covers the hair and neck. Sometimes a fourth part is added - a light veil that covers the eyes.

Is there some more veil, veil and cloak, which are essentially synonyms, represent a robe or veil that covers the figure of a woman from head to toe. There is a veil in the burqa and burka (it is attached separately in the veil), the veil can be either with an open face or with an opening for the eyes.

All images are clickable

A woman in a veil and a niqab is a normal phenomenon for the countries of the Middle East (Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Saudi Arabia) and Africa. A Muslim woman in a niqab can also be found on the streets of Europe, but in many countries there are bans on wearing a niqab. Burka and veil remained only in the most conservative countries - Afghanistan, Pakistan. Therefore, our main attention will be paid to the hijab (scarf).

How to choose the right hijab?

To choose the right hijab, you need to focus on several aspects: the shape and features of the face, as well as skin color:

1. Women with a square face need to soften their facial features by rounding it. Tie a scarf or shawl loosely, opening your forehead and cheekbones and hiding your chin and jaw.

2. If you have a round face, it must be lengthened, giving an oval shape. To do this, open your forehead as much as possible and cover your cheekbones.

3. For owners of an elongated rectangular face, the site advises the site to pull the bodice as close to the eyebrows as possible to hide part of the face, and visually expand the face, focusing on the cheekbones and temples.

5. Women with an oval face will suit any option.

How to wear a hijab?

As a hijab, corner and square scarves, stoles and scarves are used. The hijab most often has a base on which the scarf itself is attached with pins:

a) hijab underscarf - a one-piece cap-hood that reaches the chest with a hole for the face:

b) the simplest and most versatile hijab "al-amira" (hijab al amira, amirka), consisting of two parts or a cap with a hood, one covers the hair and ears, the second - the neck and chest:

b) a bonnet cap or a stripe in the form of elastic lace (lace hijab band):

The base is sewn from cotton, silk or viscose and can be either a very different color and texture, or decorated with various prints, embroidery, rhinestones.

For a Muslim woman, the process of tying a hijab is akin to a certain sacrament, girls are taught this art from the age of 5-7, and the way a woman ties a hijab today and which one she prefers reflects her mood and desires.

It is almost impossible to describe in words how to dress and tie a hijab beautifully, it is better to watch our video selection.

To fix the hijab under the chin, brooches or safety pins are used. In the festive version, hairpins with rhinestones, hoops or necklaces over the hijab are added for decoration.

Hijab styles and shapes(the selection is purely arbitrary):

1. Caucasian style. The most conservative, reminiscent of a monastic. Characteristic features are a round head, completely covered hair and often a chin.

2. Egyptian style. Fashion for hijabs has undergone fundamental changes in Egypt over the past 10 years. The traditional scarf (see photo: without a visor, rather tightly tied and covering the head and shoulders), despite the active use of bright colors and new fabrics, is gradually being replaced by more recent and liberated options - Spanish, Emirati, Turkish, which will be discussed below.

In addition, hijab styles vary depending on which social class an Egyptian woman belongs to.

3. Turkish style of tying a headscarf. You can see it in the photo below. In the Turkish manner, corner and square scarves are usually tied.

Turkish style scarf

4. However, the scarf, tied in the traditional Turkish way, disappears from the women's wardrobe. His place is actively occupied turban- the same scarf, only fancifully tied. In Turkish hairdressers, by the way, a new service for beautiful styling of a turban is increasingly appearing.

5. Turkish women also actively try on themselves style of indonesian and malaysian muslim women - bright knitted scarves with a sharp visor. In Turkey, they began to sew a special pocket under the visor into scarves.

6. Gaining popularity in Egypt spanish knitting method triangular shawls, reminiscent of the hairstyle of Spaniards - flamenco dancers. The headscarf does not cover the neck, unlike the traditional Muslim headscarf, so some women do not consider it the proper way to fulfill the requirements of Islam.

7. Emirati style. The Arabic style uses barrettes that add volume to the hair. The orthodox ulema of Sunnism are very scolding the Emirati style of wearing a headscarf, calling it "camel hump" (camel hump hijab, Khaleeji style hijab). They believe that the heavy winding on the head makes a woman hold her head up too high, not humble enough ...

Below you will find photos of Muslim women wearing a hijab in the Gulf style.

8. Iranian style. Here it is necessary to mention the difference between Sunni countries, where it is strictly forbidden to show hair, from Shiite countries, where such liberties are allowed. Below you see pictures of Iranian women - hair is clearly visible, which in Sunnism is either forbidden in principle or condemned. Shiites make up the absolute majority of the population of Iran, more than half of the population of Iraq, a significant part of the Muslims of Azerbaijan, Lebanon, Yemen and Bahrain.

9. African style. Women in Gabon, Ghana, Namibia wear real turbans, leaving the neck, ears and shoulders completely open. They love large earrings, necklaces and bright makeup.

There are a lot of styles of tying a scarf, Muslim women use all the possibilities of the fashion industry and invent more and more new ways.

And now a few rules and facts related to wearing a hijab:

# Islam prescribes to wear a scarf on the head of a Muslim woman from the moment of puberty (when secondary sexual characteristics are formed). Usually this age is 11-13 years.

# The Qur'an does not require a Muslim woman to hide her face (Surah 24 of the Qur'an, "An-Nur"). The chest, neck, shoulders, hair, ears must be covered - EXCEPT for the oval of the face and hands.

According to tradition, only the face can be seen from under the scarf, but modern and Europeanized Muslim women tie colored hijabs with prints loosely, slightly opening their hair over their forehead, chin and even neck.

It all depends on the religiosity of a particular society. What is permissible in Turkey or Iran is considered apostasy, for example, in Oman, Saudi Arabia or Jordan. Major cities and tourist destinations where the spirit of the West penetrates are also easier to follow the dress code. Women can barely put a scarf or hat on their heads, as long as their hair is covered. A handkerchief accidentally dropped from your head will not cause a tantrum.

# It is very good to have an emergency version of the hijab at hand at home - for cases when a strange man unexpectedly comes into the house and there is no time to fasten a long stole. For such purposes, a hijab cape (collar) is suitable, it is very convenient to put on and does not require fastening on the head, it looks like either a circular scarf, or has a lock on the back.

# In order to beautifully tie a hijab, take a scarf at least one and a half meters long.

# Choose your hijab fabric according to the season. In the warm season, you can give preference to silk, satin, chiffon and cotton scarves in bright colors, while in winter it is wiser to choose woolen fabrics.

# As for colors, there are no strict restrictions. Choose according to your mood! Even traditionally black or neutral colors, niqabs can be found today in the brightest colors.

How beautiful girls in hijabs can be judged from these pictures.

Polina, specially for the site site

According to the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, a woman should not show her beauty to strangers. The Qur'an says (washed away): “Let them (believing women) not flaunt their embellishments, with the exception of those that are visible (i.e., the oval of the face and hands), and let them cover the cutout on the chest with their veils ...” (Sura An-Nur 31). Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said that once Asma, the daughter of Abu Bakr, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in thin clothes. The Prophet ﷺ turned away from her and said: “O Asma! A woman who has reached the age of majority should not open places other than these places, "pointing to her face and hands." According to this, Muslim women are required to completely cover their heads along with their necks, with the exception of their faces. The Almighty created men and women attracted to each other, and the openness of a woman pushes a man to forbidden actions leading to bad consequences. Dressed according to the prescription, the girl is protected from the gaze of strangers and emphasizes her chastity.

Is the headscarf the hijab?

Not always a scarf can be called a hijab. Since the hijab means to hide the entire female body, except for the oval of the face and hands, with clothes that are not transparent, not tight-fitting, not attracting the attention of the opposite sex. If you wear any scarf so that the head and neck are closed except for the oval of the face, then it also becomes part of her hijab. Sometimes the scarf does not meet the conditions of the hijab, as some Muslim women tie it in such a way that part of the head, hair and neck are visible. This does not comply with the canons of Islam, and if strangers see her, she falls under sin.

What should be the headdress of a Muslim woman?

It can be said that the answer to this question has already become clear from the previous answers. However, I want to add that when putting on a scarf, girls should understand that the scarf should not be made of pronounced colors that attract the attention of strangers, like her other clothes, her hair or bare parts of the body should not be visible from under the scarf. A Muslim woman must understand that a scarf covering her entire head is not only the style of her clothes, but also her position in life, a manifestation of her faith. It is faith, since the girl, covering herself, does what is prescribed for her by Allah Almighty. And many girls admit that wearing a hijab gives them a sense of security and confidence, makes her beauty modest and dignified, protecting and protecting her.

Should a Muslim woman always cover her head?

A woman is obliged to cover her head from strangers who do not belong to the category of “mahram”. She may not cover her head in front of women, close relatives of their number of men (mahram) and her husband. But if an outsider who is not a mahram comes to visit, then even in the presence of her husband, brother, or father, she is obliged to cover her body except for her face and hands.

Mahram men include those men who, according to Islam, do not have the right to marry her for the following reasons:

1) Blood relationship, (father, grandfather, son, grandson, great-grandson, paternal and maternal uncle, her siblings and sons of siblings).

2) Dairy relationship (milk brother or husband of her dairy mother).

3) Marriage relationship (father-in-law or father-in-law, her mother's husband (stepfather) or his father, as well as the son or grandson of her husband).

When should a Muslim woman wear a headscarf, hijab from childhood?

As for the specific age at which a girl should be taught to wear a hijab, theologians recommend from the age of seven, based on the hadith: “Tell your children to pray when they are seven years old, and punish them if they do not do so when they are ten years old. And separate them in different beds." (Abu Dawud). This includes all the precepts of Islam, and not just the performance of prayer.

A girl falls into the sin for not wearing a hijab from the age of majority. The signs of a girl coming of age include such as: the appearance of hair on the genitals, the appearance of wet dreams or first blood (menstruation).

All Muslim scarves can be divided into two types: rectangular and square.

Rectangular scarves

First, let's figure out how to properly tie a rectangular scarf:

Usually a cap is worn under the scarf - Bonnet. In most cases, this is not necessary, but a scarf that is too thin can be slightly translucent, and then a hat is indispensable. Bonnet also keeps the scarf from slipping on the head, and will allow the scarf to be pulled back a little. You need to put on a bone by analogy with a regular bandage. It is better to close the ears, because they can be seen through a too bright or thin scarf.
Next, you need to put a scarf on the crown in such a way that about a third of the length of the scarf remains on one side and another two-thirds are on the other.
The scarf must be fastened under the chin. Usually use a small pin for this. You need to make sure that the shorter side of the scarf is near the chin, while the long side is on top.
That part of the scarf, which was made longer, must be taken in hand and wrapped around the back of the head at the same distance between the top of the head and the top of the neck. The height of the scarf depends mainly on the shape of the head. The higher the scarf is wrapped, the more it will cover the shoulders and neck.
After you wrap the long end around your head, you will need to fasten it under the chin, although you can also sideways. For a more secure fixation of the scarf, a pin is threaded under two layers of its fabric. If you stab a pin on both sides, the hijab will last all day on your head. Tailor's pins can work well for this purpose, because their multi-colored heads allow you to quite accurately select the desired color of the pin, which will go well with the color of the scarf.

That's all you need to tie a rectangular scarf.

Square scarves

Now let's move on to the square. In order to tie it, you need:

Fold the scarf diagonally to form a triangle.
Attach it under the chin.
Attach one end of the scarf to the clothes near the shoulder.
The other end of the scarf is also placed over the shoulder and attached with a small pin.
