Hijab

A hijab (Arabic: حجاب‎ ḥijāb) in common English usage is a veil worn by some Muslim women in the presence of any male outside of their immediate family, which usually covers the head and chest. The term can refer to any head, face, or body covering worn by Muslim women that conforms to Islamic standards of modesty. Hijab can also refer to the seclusion of women from men in the public sphere, or it may denote a metaphysical dimension, for example referring to "the veil which separates man or the world from God." People usually talk about "the hijab" rather than "a hijab", as evidenced by this article.

Shari'ah is for the earthly realm, not the hereafter.

From narrations, we can understand that, in heaven, people will appear in an ideal form (for instance, at the prime of their life, no injuries).

Probably, people will appear in clothing styles that they are comfortable with and which reflect their nature and how they are used to appearing on earth. So for some people this may resemble hijab. Of course, in very nice fabrics and made of materials such as silk and silver (according to the Qur'an!).

This is apart from the narration saying that Fatima al-Zahra (A) will appear while hidden, although this can also be understood to be a veiling of her high spiritual nature that none can perceive, just as none can gaze directly at Allah's power, rather than a basic covering of the body for material reasons.

I am not aware of any restriction presented in narrations on interacting with people at the same level of paradise or below, although we might choose to interact with some people and not others based again on our preferences and expectations.

The immediate resurrection will be naked.

Paradise is the place of every good act and every noble thought as Allah mentioned in Quran that all ill feelings will be removed away from the chests of people of Paradise (Al-A'raaf, verse 43 and Al-Hijr, verse 47).

Friendship between man and woman who is not Mahram to him will not be imagined in Paradise and no one in Paradise will think about it because it is not a noble thought. Women with out Hijab is also not a noble thought so no woman in Paradise will think about about it.

Wassalam.

If it is a necessary procedure, and you have no control over the medical staff all being females, then you are allowed to undergo the surgery. Just try to ask the nurse or an accompanying family member to try and cover you as much as they can.

May Allah ta'ala grant you shifa` and speedy recovery.

And Allah knows best.

You as a Muslim female is responsible to obey the rules of Allah including wearing full Hijab where ever you can be seen by any non Mahram (outsider) man. This responsibility is more important than doing any specific job which prevents you from obeying Allah, as far as there are other jobs which don't prevent you.

If you teach in a girls school where no man can see you with out Hijab, then it is permissible because you don't need to wear Hijab among females, but you must be sure that no man at all can see you with out Hijab.

If the job exposes you to men and forces you not to wear Hijab, you should look for another job which does not prevent you from obeying Allah (SWT).

Wassalam.

Heaven is a place of reward and bliss. There is no taklif in Heaven. There are no ahkam, or rulings or laws. Women or men do not need to observe mandatory laws that are only legislated for us here in this dunya. 

We just need to make sure we perform our duties in the best way possible, so that we are fortunate and blessed to end up in the everlasting abode of Heaven, in shaa Allah.

And Allah knows best.

Often, the production of hair oil adjusts naturally over a few months to a change in hair routine. So, possibly, your hair will adjust by itself.

In the meantime, I suggest using the minimum water and doing the minimum necessary amount of washing for wudu (rather than anything extra/mustahhab).

This will vary between schools of thought. For instance, the 4 Sunni schools of thought require wiping the entire head (but have some minor differences regarding wudu between each other). The Twelver Shi'i school of thought requires wiping a quarter of the head with 1-3 fingers by using the remaining water from wudu (not taking extra water). 

Historically, most people did not wash their hair daily, and certainly did not have access to commercially produced shampoos, so, in and of itself, performing wudu regularly does not usually require people to wash their hair more frequently (although individual circumstances vary).

This is venturing outside the scope of responses offered here, but you could look into advice online by people starting the "no shampoo (no 'poo)" routine in reducing oiliness. Possibly dry shampoo might be helpful. Of course you have to decide what is best for yourself, your health, and your circumstances.

Lastly... doing wudu doesn't usually make people's hair oily. It is possible that this is happening for yourself, since everyone is different. However, if you haven't already, you could look into other causes, such as hormones, stress, diet, or an underlying health condition. If you have recently converted to Islam, this could be an underlying stressor, if it has come with shifts in your life or challenges.

Best wishes!

If it is a women only event, and there are no men or baligh males, then you do not need to observe hijab. Of course, in this age, you must make sure if someone is recording, you trust they will not share it in public.

Wearing full Hijab means covering all your hair and body except your face and hands. Leaving hair show with out covering it will invalidate the Prayer.
