Discussion on Women's Veiling Choices

Twenty Thirty Without the Niqab. What I want to say to the promoters of this

campaign is this: when the Messenger, peace be upon him, said, “A woman should not

wear a niqab or

gloves,” he knew that some women wore niqabs, and therefore

when he said during

Umrah, “She must not wear a niqab,” he did not condemn niqab in ordinary days.

He only

said it during Umrah. So who are you to come and ban the niqab? This issue

is disputed among leading scholars. Some consider covering the face obligatory, while others

say that the visible adornment is the face and hands, but without adornment.

When you demand the removal of the niqab, she has chosen to cover her face and has chosen the path

that is safer for her. Even if you mean girls who are forced, or

whose families, I mean, forced them to wear the niqab, this is a direct call to incite

girls against their families, thereby breaking up families. And little by little, they want

to reach bigger goals. At the same time, if she chooses to

uncover her face, we should not attack her. Every woman has her own account with the Lord of the Worlds.
