An Islamic preacher has cautioned women to be extremely cautious in public, especially when it comes to scent, dress, and interactions with men.
During a recent lecture, the imam highlighted that women should avoid calling attention to themselves, arguing that public areas are intrinsically harmful for both men and women if boundaries are not followed.
Read what he stated below:
“If the woman has put on perfume, she does not have the right to go out in that state. And when you’re on the sidewalk, my sister, don’t forget to hug the walls. Leave the middle of the road to men, and you take the shoulder. The fitna of the mix is terrible.”
The priest emphasised that families, especially male guardians, have a responsibility to ensure that women under their care follow these norms.
“You have a duty to forbid your wife or your daughters, or even your sisters, or all those under your guardianship, from going out perfumed, made up, etc.,” he added.
He quoted a hadith that he regarded as “unanimously authentic,” warning that no temptation is more detrimental to men than seeing women in public.
On social interactions, the imam urged strict segregation. He said, “There are no boyfriends and girlfriends in Islam. Even if you do nothing, as you claim, no, no, but we’re not doing anything. We still forbid women from speaking to men, and rest assured, ladies, it is also forbidden for men to speak to women.”
He also warned women about scented detergents, stating that smells might draw attention even from a distance.
The speech has stirred online debate, with various comments on social media to its rigid interpretation of gender behaviour in public settings.
