***Women who are clothed yet Naked*** Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said : “There are two types of the people of Hell whom I have not yet seen: people with whips like the tails of cattle with which they strike the people, and women who are clothed yet naked, astray and leading others astray, with their heads like the humps of camels, leaning to one side. They will not enter Paradise nor even smell its fragrance, although it fragrance may be detected from such and such a distance.” [Narrated by Muslim, 2128] Explanation of the above Hadeeth from Fatwa from Ibn Baz : As for the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) saying: And women who are clothed yet naked, who will be inclined [to evil] and are inclining [others to it] , scholars interpret “clothed” to mean that they are endowed with great bounties from Allah but are “naked”, for they are enjoying the blessings of Allah and giving no thanks for them. They do not obey the Commands of Allah or avoid His Prohibitions even though He has bestowed upon them wealth and other blessings. Another meaning is also suggested that they wear clothes that do not cover them, for being too light or too short. Thus, they do not serve their purpose. Hence, they are described as “naked”, as the clothes they wear do not cover their `Awrah (parts of the body that must be covered in public). Over and above, “inclined” means deviant from chastity and righteousness i.e. they commit sins and evil deeds like those who do immoral acts or fall short to perform the obligatory duties, prayer, etc. As for the interpretation of “inclining”, it means that they misguide others i.e. they call people to evil and corruption. So, they lead others to immorality and sin by words and deeds. They commit immoral actions because of their weak or fading Iman (belief). This Sahih Hadith intends to warn against wrongdoing and all kinds of corruption whether committed by men or women. As for the Prophet’s saying: Their heads are like the humps of the long-necked camels tilted to one side, some scholars said, they make their heads look big, because of the wigs and the like that they use until they look like the humps of camels. The mentioned type of camel has two humps between which there is a dip. So that one hump leans one way and the other leans to the other way. Thus, when these woman make their heads look big in this way, they look like these humps. Regarding his saying (peace be upon him): They will not enter Jannah or even smell its odor. Though this is a stern warning, it does not necessarily imply their disbelief or eternal punishment in hellfire. Like other disobedient people who die as Muslims, they are liable to punishment for their sins, but they continue to be under the Will of Allah; Allah may forgive or punish them according to His Will. Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says in two positions in Surah Al-Nisa’: Verily, Allâh forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills
