Not minding hijab

Assalamu'alaikum,

In my job, I came across a brother who does not mind whether a sister
wears a hijab or not, when considering her for a wife. Rather, he
prefers that she doesn't wear one.

What can you make out of such a brother?

I know that there are practising brothers who won't mind having
non-hijabis as wives, but to prefer non-hijabis?

I don't want to jump to conclusions or pre-judge him. He may have his
reasons (ie. past experience, background).

Brothers, can you help me out with this?

I have heavy feeling of introducing potential sisters to him, even
though those sisters are non-hijabis.


Allahua'lam.

asalaamu alaikum,

Just like how some sisters have a hard time putting on hijab and getting over the societal pressure,

some brothers experience this also, directly with hijab.

We often think its only a sisters' thing to have to build up strength... but its also a brothers thing as well.

Its gone through together.

Some brothers have different expectations and level of taqwa. asalamu alaikum. abdullah,.

One reason is he may want a wife who will look "good on his arm", and he may feel that a Hijabi wont look good.

Thats a Possible reason.

But i dont understand why he wants a non-hijabi. I LOVE women in hijab, they look so beautiful and classy!

Br Kashif, I did.
He said it's just a matter of preference.

Thanks a bunch. I really appreciate this.

Asalamu Alykum,

Yeah, this particular scenerio is very common in the part of community , where I live.  The preconcieved notion of that women in Hijab are less educated or less in other ways. Whatever way they articulate it but SubhanAllah the other day a couple friends of mine and myself were looking at some Isna matrimonials add, yikes they are sooo funny and one of the adds had,   only non-hijabs should respond or somthing like that. So anways as Sh.Humza says "Things don't change until perspectives  change". I would suggest educating the brother and  the opening comes from Allah(swt) inshaAllah May Allah open his heart.  and this is a similar case of when some sisters don't want to get married to brothers who grow beards and wear Kuffis.

As Salamu Alaikum...This is not similar for me. Hijab is fardz. Wassalamu Alaikum

I agree with br. isra and sr. Ayesha Z b/c hijab is fardh. I think it'similar to the case where sisters don't want to get married to a bro with beard, but not on the same level, b/c this bro doesn't mind getting married to a hijabi.
To tell you the truth, I'm stuck on this and I really don't know if you should inform the bro of any sisters. Maybe an imam or a scholar can help on that subject.
just my two cents...
