Can Women Work In Film Industry?
Posted by Rashid Bangash on August 18, 2024 at 8:32 amIn Surah Al Aaraf Allah tells 5 things are prohibited accept food.
1) Injustice
2) Bidaat
3) Obscenity whether hidden or openly
4) Unjust action against someone’s property, life, reputation.
5) Say something false about Allah that He has not sent down any evidence.
But in Surah Nisa Allah says that womens should hide their embellishments . Can women open their adornment and embellishments in film according to Surah Aaraf their is 5 things prohibited then women can show their embellishments because this is main thing in drama or film

Contributor August 18, 2024 at 9:11 amGhamidi Sahab said in this very video that they could.
The point is not embellishments, the point is zina. If fawahish is not being promoted, exceptions can be made. However, it will always be advised to women that they should avoid zina and be careful about their embellishments and intentions, rest is up to them to do as they want according to the demand of their profession.

Ghamidi Sahab gives an example of kushti/mud wrestling where sometime men wear nothing but small shorts. Why do we allow that? Because zina isn’t an issue there.
The main problem must be kept in mind. Which is zina.
The main goal is to avoid zina.Prophet (PBUH) condemned using perfume by women to promote zina.
But using perfume to simply smell good is fine. (Exception)Men wearing small shorts to promote zina is a problem.
But using small shorts to take part in a sport like kushti is fine. (Exception).Similarly women showing embellishments to promote zina is a problem.
But showing embellishments to play a role in acting is fine (Exception).Exception is acceptable when the goal (avoiding zina) is kept in mind. When path to zina starts opening like in form of wrong intentions, that is when exception can’t be made.

Contributor August 18, 2024 at 9:19 amYes. As long as the intention is decent.
However, it is advised that cultural sensitivity should be kept in mind. But it is not matter of sin until fawahish and wrong intentions are involved.

Contributor August 19, 2024 at 11:37 amThe main problem is zina.
Allah does not want us to commit zina. Zina is the major sin for which eternal Hell is a possible punishment.
To avoid this major sin. Allah tells us to wear decent clothes (decent by culture standard, decent western clothes for western, decent eastern clothes for eastern) and avoid the intention of committing zina.
When a person does not wear decent clothes with the intention of committing zina, they are committing a minor sin. Minor sin is forgivable if the major sin is not committed. There is no sin if the intention was not to commit zina or promote indecency in the first place.
If a person is wearing decent clothes by his own understanding, does not have intention of committing zina then there is no sin on them if they wear western clothes or even show embellishments.
The minor sins occur when there is a wrong intention to begin with. Minor sins are counted when the final major sin (zina) is committed. We advise people to cover up as a precaution to avoid this major sin.

Moderator August 20, 2024 at 1:36 amZina is a major sin and anything which leads to Zina is also prohibited on grounds of Sadd-e-Zariya (Means to prevent a major sin). And to achieve this objective certain etiquettes regarding norms of gender interaction are also mentioned in Quran Surah Nur as Sadd-e-Zariya. While both are Quranic injunctions and a Muslim should follow them.
But logically, consequences of violation of both these types of directives is not of the same magnitude. Violation of a Sadd-e-Zariya directive does not result in a major sin but this does not mean that such violation is being condoned. However our reaction to such etiquettes violation should be focused more on educating people and cautioning them of the risks involved with continued violations. There is no exception, just a different reaction to violations of different nature. Same would apply to a woman actress violationg such etiquettes at her work.

Contributor August 20, 2024 at 9:53 amYes. That is appropriate by western standards.
The minimum dress code is that woman should cover the area around the private part and chest. So only thing I would suggest go for half sleeves as shoulders, armpit, collarbone/bottom of the neck and upper arms is included in the area around the chest. Last picture is fine but some previous pictures reveal the curves of the body which needs to be avoided, just a little looser clothes may be advisable.
In casual settings, you may wear and reveal the casual makeup and jewellery which is what women may wear normally in your society. Any extra special makeup and jewellery that draws attention should be covered that might be out of the ordinary by your society’s standard except in exceptional cases like acting but it is better to cover up as much as possible for a Muslim even in exceptional cases like acting.

Member August 20, 2024 at 10:53 amCan we not still wear these clothes, if we know that we are not in any danger from anyone?
Still can’t wear it .Even if we are not in any danger from anyone. Why???
If our intention are good. Because I like to wear it , I’m so confused please make it clear without any thoughts of zina.
Like these two below pictures.

Saad
Contributor August 20, 2024 at 11:06 amIt is a command from God that one must ‘protect‘ the private parts. The key word is ‘protect‘ as in, not only to cover the private parts but also the area around it that may invite others towards the private parts.
This is the explanation.
So the argument from scholars is that arm pits, lower part of the neck and upper arm area is included when protecting the chest in the command of ‘protecting’ the private part of chest for woman. However if one argues that they are convinced that their private parts are protected and they personally believe it is good enough and they have good intentions then God may accept this excuse but scholars will still advise according to their understanding of the scripture and advise people to fear God and follow the command as accurately as possible.

Member August 21, 2024 at 2:28 amBut in acting one has to wear such clothes.One has to show one’s beauty and beautification, otherwise one cannot act.At first, you were saying that the intention of a person should be good and there should not be any thought of adultery in the mind.
Then what kind of clothes do we wear when we visit the West also in terms of culture. In acting, women have to wear tights and jeans, pant-shirt style.
Men also wear jeans. Why can’t women?
In western countries, women are considered decent in the same way
-
Saad
Contributor August 21, 2024 at 4:15 amBecause you are a Muslim first before you are an actor. You must obey God’s command. And He has chosen that all Muslim women should cover themselves in the minimum area: area around private parts, for the one between legs one must covers the midriff and to the knees. For the chest area, it covers the area below neck, armpits and upper arm area. Clothes should be not be skin tight and transparent.
Men should NOT be wearing skin tight jeans either.
As said above, if you are convinced that you are wearing decent by your society’s standard and have good intentions. God may accept it. Just remember to ‘protect’ your private parts, have decent intentions and avoid anything scandalous, that is all what religion requires generally so that zina can be avoided.

Saad
Contributor August 21, 2024 at 8:45 amYes, there is no sin when you follow the minimum requirement as shown in photos above.
However, local culture like some Pakistani may take offense or set up a different dress code in certain areas, it is advised to respect that. But if no person or authority is stopping you then it is all good.
As far as religion goes, your dress code in recent pictures is fine and there is no sin.

If a women wear modest clothes, is it always compulsory to cover head with scarf or is it ok to just dress modest without covering all hairs and head

Moderator August 24, 2024 at 1:14 amCovering hair is not compulsory unless the hair are embellished; in that case, hair should be covered.

Member August 22, 2024 at 7:55 pmPlease also advise in acting industry aren’t the two genders supposed to touch one another and get close to one another even if not to spread immorality. Is that allowed then? For example two actors of different genders acting as siblings and hugging one another for some scene?
-
Umer
Moderator August 22, 2024 at 11:11 pmEvery such intimate interaction between opposite genders should be avoided on grounds of Sadd-e-Zariya. Violation will result in a minor sin but it is a prohibited act nevertheless.
Please also refer to the video below from 29:11 to 30:57

Member August 23, 2024 at 1:50 amSir will income be halal if this kind of scenes are done?
-
Umer
Moderator August 24, 2024 at 1:18 amThe income is Halal because the person is paid for his or her acting skill and not for expressing any vulgarity. However, a conscious God-fearing Muslim should try to do his or her best to not engage in such scenes.
