is a hair bun a sign of hinduism?

[fatma]

i'm gujarati and my late grandma always said that we can't tie our hair in a bun as it is a sign of hinduism. is this true or is this exggerated. also is it true that if men see even one of your hair's it is as if you are naked to them? as this one really confuses me.
jazakallah your help is highly appreciated.

A woman is allowed to tie her hair how she wants. This also includes tying it in a bun. It is not a sign of Hinduism. Just imagine if parting your hair in the middle was claimed to be non Islamic, then what would happen to all those people who part there hair in Islam? If it is not forbidden in Islam, then it is perfectly practicable, unless it is otherwise stated.

Hair however should be covered by Islamic women, so that it does not intice men, to have bad thoughts or feelings. This is the reason why hair should be covered. If however a hair is seen by a man, for example let us say because you were working, and a few strands of hair began to show, or you were accidently seen by someone you didnt expect, then in this case, it is not your fault, and it definitely does not lead to believe that you were seen naked.

If it is done intentionally, for the reason given above, then you will be liable to the punishment, and could be considered as being naked, but even that depends on how careful you are.

May Allah the Almighty help us all to comply with the Islamic dress code, for as long as we live. (Amin).


Jazak'allah for your question.
