Answer:

May Allah (SWT) reward you for such carefulness regarding the observation of the rules and regulations between men and women.

The only issues one can see arising is the matter of being in ‘Khalwa’ (seclusion) with one non-mahram and that simply is not the case based on what you have described.

Secondly, one would normally be concerned with the public uniform as there are dressing guidelines for a Muslim woman to take part in public life, and as long as the jilbab (outer garment) and khimar (headscarf) are observed, then the Hijab is complete, and you are entitled as any man to seek your provision by working, shopping, learning and worshipping

Only Allah SWT alone knows best.

Question: How can I concentrate in my Salaah with my eyes open? Clarification of having pants below ankles DETAILS: Assalamualaikum Dear Mufti Sahib,   1)I know that you have to read Salaah with the eyes open, but it’s very distracting, therefore can I leave my eyes open just a little bit and try to make this blurry and blink them a lot to concentrate more? What is the consequence of leaving the eyes closed in Salaah, I heard that if one does this, his Hoor in Jannah will be blind?2) Is peelu Miswaak the best Miswaak or the olive Miswaak? 3) What is the best place to position the hands During Du’aa’; like at face level or shoulder level or hands high up? Should our palms be facing upwards? 4)I heard that it is HARAAM to keep the pants or shalwar below the ankles and that Muhammad (S) said whatever is below the ankles will be in Jahannum. My brother is saying that this Hadith only applies to people at that time or even now who used to keep their pants below the ankle for the sake of PRIDE. Does this mean that regular Muslims who don’t keep their pants above the ankles (not for pride) will not get punished for this sin? Pleas e clarify.5)Are all synthetic alcohols in products useable no matter where the source of the synthetic alcohol is derived? 6) Should we Only act on Sahih Hadith or act on even the weak Hadith too? 7.Can you please give me a detailed description of how the Angels Jibreel, Mikaeel, Israfeel, and Israel look like if there are any Ahaadith that speak of their appearance and characteristics. Jazakallah May Allah (S.W.T) reward u infinitely. Assalamualaikum.
