Dress & Attire

Q: Can women wear shoes with low heels? The shoes do not have any resemblance to men's shoes, do not make tapping sounds, and are worn under the abaaya so they are not visible.

Q: I really want to start wearing a niqaab but my parents said from next year. How can I convince my parents to let me wear it?

Q: Can we wear fancy clothes according to Islam? Fancy clothes as in long maxy dresses which are loose, the sleeves are full and the legs are not visible. My father says that it’s not allowed in Islam and causes gunah just because it’s a bit fancy. No body part is visible except for the face, yet he calls all my dresses inappropriate. Can we not wear fancy clothes on weddings? 

Q: How long can one keep the nails in Islam?

Q: Is wearing niqaab one of the conditions of Islamic dress for women?

Q: There is a certain brand of jackets. The males jackets and the females jackets look extremely similar, with just a difference in the stitching.

1. Will a female wearing such a jacket be considered as imitating a male in dressing?

2. Is it permissible for females to wear tekkies?

Q: As we know, one cannot shave the one part of the head and leave another because that is qaza which isn’t allowed (and since trimming and shaving aren’t the same thing because we know on the occasion of umrah Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) made a special dua for those who shave their hair and for those who trim it meaning there is a clear distinction).

My question is, what if you trim the sides and not shave, therefore it is not qaza? So if I trim it to about 3+ inches which isn’t short enough to copy or fall under qaza, and I cut with a scissor on top, is this permissible?

Q: I am aware that men are not allowed to wear a silver ring that exce​eds one mithqaal. However, is there any ruling regarding which finger the ring can be worn on?

Q: My children are attending a school and the school rule is to have the emblem on the kurta. The emblem has a picture of the Ka'bah. Is this permissible?

Q: Is it permissible to cut the hair in two lengths if it is not done with the intention of emulating the kuffaar?
