Ruling About Improper Dress
Peace! On حق تلفی. I believe one’s own life, property and honour is also included in حق تلفی. So, enforcing something to ensure that people take care of their own life, property and honour probably should be allowed for the government. After that, we can discuss the finer details regarding what should be enforced and what should be encouraged. My question to you, if you are talking about Pakistani society, is: where do you see inappropriate dresses? I am a student and usually remain in my house, so, when people talk about obsenity spreading in the society, I don’t quite understand. When I go out, I don’t see people dressing inappropriately. Moreover, what do you mean by “unfair dressing?”
Taking no measures to protect human life is the greatest haq talfi. What is greater than losing human life for not wearing helmet and seat belt ? Obscenity may causes havoc to a society so a govt is supposed to come forward to stop it. Now the question is, can a govt prescribe a dress code too, like what to wear? That would be considered transgression. The correct approach is to allow people choose any dress that they like according to their taste and culture but without any obscenity.
