Can a Muslim Man Tell His Christian Wife to Wear Hijab? | Sheikh Assim Al Hakeem
In this video, Sheikh Assim Alhakeem answers the question: 1️⃣ Question: How can a person reconnect with Allah when they feel emotionally empty, overwhelmed, and unable to pray properly? ✅ Answer: The teacher explains that deep emotional exhaustion and spiritual disconnection often require professional support. He recommends seeking help from a qualified Muslim counselor or therapist who understands both emotional well-being and Islamic values. These feelings can come from long-term stress, negative thoughts, or internal pressure, and proper guidance can help someone recover and feel spiritually connected again. He ends with a prayer asking Allah to grant peace, comfort, and tranquility. 2️⃣ Question: If a Muslim man marries a Christian or Jewish woman, which household expectations should be discussed? ✅ Answer: The teacher explains that expectations depend greatly on the location, the agreement between spouses, and mutual respect. In some countries, laws may prevent one spouse from enforcing personal religious practices on the other. He recommends that couples discuss important matters before marriage, such as lifestyle, family values, and household rules, so both partners understand each other clearly. Healthy communication and respect are essential for a peaceful home. 3️⃣ Question: Can a woman speak to a potential spouse while another non-related man is present? ✅ Answer: The teacher explains that in Islamic tradition, a woman is encouraged to have her wali (guardian) or a trusted family member present in marriage discussions. This protects privacy, prevents misunderstandings, and maintains a respectful environment for all parties. If the wali cannot attend, he may appoint another trusted family representative to be present. 4️⃣ Question: If a drama shows a character wearing a bracelet for protection, is watching it problematic? Answer: The teacher advises avoiding shows that contain themes or practices that conflict with Islamic beliefs. However, simply watching a scene does not affect someone’s personal faith as long as they do not believe in those practices. He encourages viewers to choose entertainment that is beneficial, uplifting, and aligned with their values. 5️⃣ Question: If a woman enters a shared space and gives salam, is it permissible to respond? ✅Answer: The teacher clarifies that returning someone’s greeting is allowed when there is no inappropriate interaction and the environment is respectful. Responding to salam is fine when there is no risk of misunderstanding or discomfort. The guidance aims to promote modesty, respect, and healthy boundaries.
