Comfort for a Female is in Pardah (Hijaab)
Reading Time: < 1 minute
The origin of Pardah (Hijaab) is Haya (modesty). Haya is a natural trait of a woman. To compel anyone to go against a natural trait is agonizing (it causes much discomfort). To agonize someone is contrary to comforting them. Thus, it is not zulm (oppression) to keep women in Pardah. It is, in fact, comforting.
If any woman thinks that it is zulm, not comforting, then she is not a female. We are not speaking about such a person. Here, we are speaking about women who have natural modesty in them. We are not speaking about immodest ones.
