Quran and Exegesis

The punishment of being hung by one’s hair, along with other punishments said to await women who show their hair to unrelated men, is not mentioned directly in the Quran; it is found in hadith reports. These punishments are said to result from actions such as neglecting hijab, mistreating one’s husband, failing to observe cleanliness and ritual bathing, treating prayer lightly, adultery, showing off, gossiping, and lying. By contrast, a husband’s approval is considered highly valuable for a woman.
