Question
In o u r locality (Azaadville) a few women have started a 'treeplanting' group dubbed '99 trees'. They say that planting trees is thawaab-e-jaariyah, and that it beautifies the town, and is constructive teaching for the children. However, the problem is that women in purdah and others not in purdah go and dig holes and plant trees in the presence of men who are also planting trees. What is the Shariah's ruling regarding these women?
Answer
"The Azaadville shaitaani women engaging in their satanic 'treeplanting' publicity stunt are in fact prostitutes. They are destined for Jahannam, hence there is no surprise in their public exhibition of jaahiliyyah in flagrant violation of every rule in Allah's Book of Hijaab.
These lewd women are Traps of Iblees. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) described them as Habaailush Shaitaan (The Snares of the Devil). While they may profess to be Muslims and masquerade as Muslim, in reality they are munaafiqaat. They are bereft of Imaan.
