Is A Girl With Hijab Allowed To Go To A Prom? ?


There is a year 11 leaving party, with girls and boys and it would be posh with buffets and everything. And, me and my girls planned on going by limosines and its just us girls, my friend are not going to be with boys but we are just going to have fun together and take photos etc etc… and i already have what modest clothing i would need (long puffy dresses) etc etc that had a dark posh colour to them. But… i just wondering, is it haram ?? its a place i want to go because i am never going to see the girls in my year ever again and i'm leaving to a grammar school anyway…. Thanks for your help.

I believe it is okay to go, as long as you won't dance with boys and will wear a proper dress.
Haram is a very strong word. I see many people answering and using it loosely. Our times are very different, small issues like going to a prom or a wedding should not concern you much, given that you are sane and have good intentions.
Just weigh the issue. Is it okay to go? Is everything well-planned? What do you risk? This is actually in many of life's decisions, usually small ones.
EDIT: I recommend Maddy's answer also.

Sallam sister
I dont think its a great idea to go
1. Proms are all about music and dance which is haram.
2. At proms there are haram foods such as alchohol and although you wont drink it someone might spike your drink with drugs or alchohol as that always happens at pros.
3. some boy might take advantage of you
salaam
just stay at home and pray to allah

i had muslim friends who went to their prom and nothing haram happened..they wore long, loose clothes that covered all of their skin except face and palms(hands) and they didn't dance with any guy, just with their girl friends..(my friends wore scarves too)..so i think as long as ur dressing modestly and not dancing with guys, u should be fine inshAllah :)
edit: i don't understand why im getting thumbs' down..as long as ur not doing anything haram u should be fine..we are exposed to alot of haram things in the world and this can be minimized if nothing haram takes place

yea don't go
i in my junior year and when i was asked to prom i just said "i am muslim and my religon doesn't allow me to go to places like that, and i don't even want to go anyways..its not my thing"

I wouldn't go if I were you, I have mine next year and I'm not planning on going. Not just cause I'm shy, but because of what people have mentioned already - it's fitnah. One thing can lead to another unexpected thing…

in all my years of living, i have never gone to a school dance, nor a party with a mixture of males and females

It's not haram if you are dressing modestly, not acting indecently with boys, not drinking alcohol and if your intentions are good.
Go, have fun, and enjoy yourself :) !

I wore a really nice permissable saree to my prom, and I wore a hijab.
Mine was more of a formal sit down meal so nothing haram really happened there.

Just make sure you know your limits. As long as you dont dance and you have complete control then I dont see why it should be haram.

If you are in year 11 you are LEAVING a grammar school.
A sixth form in a selective school is a different issue.

anthony b @ 12:41 pm

i would hope not that is not the correct dress for a prom

yea, prom is haram b/c the point of it is to freely mingle w/guys and dance w/them and all that stuff
even if you stick w/your girls, you dress up and put yourself out there
chances are guys will stare at how beautiful you look, and may make a move..ask you to dance, by then you'll say it would be rude to decline…one thing leads to another
these guys don't lower their gazes
tsktsk
anyways, you could just as easily have a party w/your girls w/o going to prom
there are other alternatives that are not so hard to find
I wouldn't go, as much as I love to dress up + party
I wouldn't b/c it's not a good environment
my friends and I had our own soiree, it was a blast
it's not haram for a girl w/hijab to go to prom
it's haram for a girl+boy prom to be held in the first place
you could've gone had it been all girls
but it's not…wonder why? it wouldn't be as "fun" w/o guys to play around with
it's the truth…so I highly recommend you stay away from haram acts like that so there's no temptations
:)
Allah(swt) knows best

well its haram to go. and ur friend is a good muslima. its forbidden for us muslim girls to be with boys, bcz its fitna, and let me tell u that when a girl and a boy , the third will be shaytan..so its not good, and we should not walk after the ways of shaytan.secondly, music is haram too, and prom are all about music and dancing and thats sooo haram, we are forbidden to hear music,anther thing, even if u are dressing modest that doest give u right in being with boys. also hijab isnt only clothes its also about attitude, and in proms ppl will dance and u will and ur friends feel wrong, bcz good muslims girl/and boys are not in the place they are supposed to be. also about 'taking photos' its haram to take photo sis, we are not allowed to take pics.believe me its not, theres a girl who here on yahoo asked the same question and after knowing its haram she decided to take her girls, friends and ebjoy time alone far from prom and far from boys, and to spend the night having fun in home. so think about it and try to do it and remember ALLAH is seeing u, and HE sobhanaho wa ta3ala will reward u insha LLAH if u do and live the way he love. after all we should choose what HE wants not what we want. peace.
ALLAH ywaf2ik sis w ywafe2na jami3an. amin amin amin
EDIT: after reading South muslim sexy soldieresss jazaha LLAH khayran remembered me that even if u dont drink but sitting in a table where there is alcohol would make u a sinner, and yeah like she said jazaha LLAH khayran maybe someone put u in ur water drogue or even alcohol and hurted u….no no stay away plz sister, ALLAH only knows what wrong and bad things happened there.
ALLAH yehdike w ye7fazik w ye7fazna jami3an.amin amin amin .salam

Prom is just a source of fitnah. Don't go and stay at home. Proms are a waste of money and food anyways. What is so thrilling about grinding up near a guy you don't know or going and having sex with some random boy on prom night, just so you can get out of going to college? Astaghirfullah!
