"Forbidding evil has four levels..."
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim:
‘Forbidding munkar (“wrong”, “evil”, “sin”) has four levels: Firstly, it will be eliminated to be replaced by good. Secondly, it will be reduced, but not fully eradicated. Thirdly, it will be [removed but] replaced by an equivalent evil. Fourthly, it will be [removed but] replaced by a worse evil.
The first two levels are [areas where forbidding evil is] legislated; the third is an area for juristic reasoning (ijtihad); the fourth, however, is prohibitted.
Thus, if you see sinful and immoral people playing chess, for instance, then rebuking them would be a case of poor understanding and insight – unless you can turn them to pastimes that are pleasing to God and His Messenger, such as archery or horseback riding, or the like. If you see immoral people gathered for [sinful] amusements, or for listening to music – if you can coax them away from such acts to acts of obedience to God, then do so: otherwise it is best to let them be than to push them into acts which could be worse. Likewise, if you see a person preoccupied with indecent literature, or its like, and you fear deterring him from it will cause him to turn to books of religious innovation, deviation or magic, you should leave him – for the first types of books are less harmful. This is indeed a vast subject.
I heard Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah say: “During the time of the Mongols, I and a companion of mine passed by some Mongols who were drinking wine. He censured them, so I rebuked him, explaining: God has indeed forbidden wine, as it diverts from God’s remembrance and prayer. As for these people, wine diverts them from murder, enslaving people and pillaging. So let them be!”‘

So he, may Allaah have mercy on him, tried to excuse himself from answering. So I repeated the question once or twice more,
so he said words to the effect,
‘I do not have spite/hatred for any Muslim, and I do not hear of enmity between two except that I rush to reconcile between them.’”

Ruling on wearing high heeled shoes
Q: What is the ruling of Islam on women wearing high heeled shoes?
A: The least that can be said regarding this action is that it is Makruh (disliked). First: That is because it involves deceit, as they are worn to make a woman look tall when she is not. Second: They pose a danger to the woman, as she may fall. Third: They are harmful to a woman’s health, as has been stated by the doctors.

ah perspective to avoid dangers in the general statement of Allah, ...and do not throw yourselves into destruction and His Statement, And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, Allâh is Most Merciful to you. Furthermore, it creates the appearance that the woman is taller and shapelier than they actually are. This is considered deception and revealing of the adornment which believing women are forbidden to display.(Part No. 17; Page No. 124)Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) states, ...and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islâm) As for women using Henna during menstruation, there is nothing wrong in this as in the case of Tuhr (purity after menstruation and postpartum ).

Trailing the Hem of a Garment for a Woman – Shaykh al-Albaani
Hadeeth No. 460 from Silsilah Ahadeeth as-Saheehah
By the Muhadith, Allama, Ash-Shaykh Muhammad Nasir ud-Deen al-Albaani
Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya
“On the authority of Umm Salamah: that when the Messenger of Allaah -SallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said what he said about trailing the hem of a garment for the woman.
Umm Salamah mentions: then I asked: O Messenger of Allaah! How should we trail the hem of a garment?
He said: Trail it by a hand span.
Umm Salamah said: But the feet become uncovered!
Then he said: Then trail it a forearms length.”
I (al-Albaani) say: In this hadeeth there is a proof showing that the feet of a woman are ‘Awrah (i.e. those parts of the body that must be covered) and this was a matter that was well known amongst the women at the time of the Prophet sall’Allaahu alayhi wasallam.
Since, when the Prophet said: ‘Trail it by a hand span,’ Umm Salaamah said: “Then the feet become uncovered” and from this, one feels that she knew that the feet are from the ‘Awrah. It is not permissible to uncover them and the Prophet – SallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – reaffirmed that for her and that is why he commanded her to trail her garment a forearm’s length.
In the Noble Qur’aan there is a reference to this fact and that is the saying of Allaah Ta’aala: <<And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment>> [Soorah Noor: 31]
* * *
Shaykh al-Albaani was asked a question regarding trailing the hem of the Hijaab for the woman: “Is it a condition that it should trail by a hand span or a forearm’s length?”
The shaykh answered by saying: “This condition is if the clothing of a woman was like the clothing of the women in the past, i.e. because the women before used to only wear a Kamees (long dress) i.e. like a thobe. This means they did not wear a sirwaal (like pyjamas) nor socks, nor anything that would cover her shins nor her feet, except this long kamees which used to be dragged along the floor, which is generally known as the Abaya. Nowadays if a woman wears socks or perhaps a long sirwaal, even though this is not common, then it is sufficient for the jilbaab to cover the top of her feet. It is not necessary for the hem of the garment to be dragging along the floor except in the situation when she cannot find, from her clothing, the likes of a sirwaal or socks etc. because, verily the Messenger – alayhis sallam- ordered her to lengthen her garment fearing that anything of the ‘Awrah of her feet or shins be uncovered. So, if they are covered with clothing or socks and over the top of them is the long Jilbaabthen it is not necessary, in this situation, for the hem of the garment to be dragging along the floor.
Questioner: May Allaah reward you
The Shaykh: May Allaah preserve you.
Questioner: So it is understood from your speech, that there is no problem if the shoes become uncovered or some of the socks are shown?
The Shaykh: No, I said to you that the Jilbaab should cover the top of the feet. Then you also mentioned shoes, the condition for the shoes is that they shouldn’t be decorated, because nowadays most women’s shoes are decorated.
Questioner: May Allaah reward you
The Shaykh: May Allaah preserve you.

Since, when the Prophet said: ‘Trail it by a hand span,’ Umm Salaamah said: “Then the feet become uncovered” and from this, one feels that she knew that the feet are from the ‘Awrah. It is not permissible to uncover them and the Prophet – SallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – reaffirmed that for her and that is why he commanded her to trail her garment a forearm’s length.
In the Noble Qur’aan there is a reference to this fact and that is the saying of Allaah Ta’aala: <<And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment>> [Soorah Noor: 31]

Shaykh al-Albaani was asked a question regarding trailing the hem of the Hijaab for the woman: “Is it a condition that it should trail by a hand span or a forearm’s length?”
The shaykh answered by saying: “This condition is if the clothing of a woman was like the clothing of the women in the past, i.e. because the women before used to only wear a Kamees (long dress) i.e. like a thobe. This means they did not wear a sirwaal (like pyjamas) nor socks, nor anything that would cover her shins nor her feet, except this long kamees which used to be dragged along the floor, which is generally known as the Abaya. Nowadays if a woman wears socks or perhaps a long sirwaal, even though this is not common, then it is sufficient for the jilbaab to cover the top of her feet. It is not necessary for the hem of the garment to be dragging along the floor except in the situation when she cannot find, from her clothing, the likes of a sirwaal or socks etc. because, verily the Messenger – alayhis sallam- ordered her to lengthen her garment fearing that anything of the ‘Awrah of her feet or shins be uncovered. So, if they are covered with clothing or socks and over the top of them is the long Jilbaabthen it is not necessary, in this situation, for the hem of the garment to be dragging along the floor.
Questioner: May Allaah reward you
The Shaykh: May Allaah preserve you.
Questioner: So it is understood from your speech, that there is no problem if the shoes become uncovered or some of the socks are shown?
The Shaykh: No, I said to you that the Jilbaab should cover the top of the feet. Then you also mentioned shoes, the condition for the shoes is that they shouldn’t be decorated, because nowadays most women’s shoes are decorated.
Questioner: May Allaah reward you
The Shaykh: May Allaah preserve you.
