After listening to them, it appears to me that if one wears niqab to maintain modesty, they are free to do so. But if someone finds it uncomfortable , because of various reasons like heat, respiratory issues, issues with verification or identification, they can remove the niqab. Because Islam never wants to cause harm or discomfort for a person. But head covering is mandatory. Hair , chest and back should be covered with the covering properly
@Lilac Henry people like you who enjoy to have a moral high ground about every single aspect of life aren't the type to actually educate someone about religious rules or values. You are talking about women wearing tight dresses, not a single person in this comment section was talking about wearing tight dresses. We were only talking about niqab. And did you not watch the whole video, where even scholars are giving different opinions about niqab, then why are you so agitated over my comment? Also , you say Islam is not so easy, you are quite wrong in this case. Because Allah himself said in Quran that he intends to make life easy for humans, so if you think your opinion is what everyone should care about, you came to the wrong place. Your anger and agitation will not be entertained here so if you want to be angry and agitated pointlessly, go somewhere else . And before that, learn some mannerisms because your way to approach for communication is condescending, Islam detests this kind of attitude too. Also write proper English, or write in your own mother tongue so that UA-cam can translate it. Whatever you wrote is incomprehensible.
@Lilac Henry you act as if you know a lot but really, you are just ranting. Covering the hair is compulsory,covering the face is sunnah. As simple as that
Don't have to completely ditch the Niqab for verification or identification. There are exceptions where there is need, but it's still best to wear the Niqab.
So i was also battling in my head that Quran didn’t say about covering head and hair and what not… I was also thinking that these scholars or dominated people must have made all this up. Or this must be mistaken from Arab culture. I asked Allah to guide me and let me know what I am supposed to know or understand. Then same day the thought came to my mind. That no matter what,I can never pray “SALAH” without covering my head and body as prescribed by scholars for hijab. If Allah does not want to see me in salah not properly dressed in hijab at home then how can Allah accept me not dressed outside in front of non mehrams as recommended by scholars. And since that day my mind was clear about hijab. Now I am a hijabi MashAllah.
@@FirdousAsad-jc6kc no… I watched the Zakir Naik’s argument over niqab and found it absolutely sensible. So I don’t wear niqab. I only wear jilbab without the niqab.
@@MrandmrsShaikh Almost all scholars agree on this matter that women should cover face too(unless they have serious problem then they can use Khimar only, like in Sweden it isnt allowed to cover face). So when you look at it, it really makes more sense in the ayah mentioned in Surah Ahzab means. It clealry states to cover yourself in a way that you will not be recognized. So by you will not be recognized ALLAH literally means that Muslim women should cover themselves completely, FACE as well, no beating around the bush. No one can deny this and if anyone does deny it or mistranslate it or try to find a loophole around it then May ALLAH give him\her hidayah aameen sum aameen. MayALLAH guide us and keep us on the right path aameen sum aameem
The amazing thing with nouman ali khan is his speech about any topic oozes so much knowledge that it Becomes hard to believe that he was not born in the previous times 🤩
Norman always shines and original language is so indicative. Mufti menk teaches from the Quran and his tafsir is excellent and easy to understand, stressing modesty. Dr. Zaki knows his Quran well. Jilbab is referred to by Allah in the Quran. Very informative video.
People really take what they want and understand what they want bc this suits u or them , we don't know Quran like a pro so it s easy to manipulate. Covering head chest and wearing respectable clothing for women and men , Norman khan is very good too. Allahu wahlem. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity, and not to reveal their adornments except what normally appears. Let them draw their veils over their chests, and not reveal their ˹hidden˺ adornments except to their husbands, their fathers, their fathers-in-law, their sons, their stepsons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, their fellow women, those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession, male attendants with no desire, or children who are still unaware of women’s nakedness. Let them not stomp their feet, drawing attention to their hidden adornments. Turn to Allah in repentance all together, O believers, so that you may be successful.
@@ZarinaSBibi Those Western clothes are no longer specially made for the kafir, so Muslims (Men) can wear those kinds of clothing. It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Umar said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 3512; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 2691. So just because the West invented planes and cars does that mean we should not use them? Of course not. Those technologies are no longer limited or held praise in Western culture. So wearing this kind of suit is permissible to my knowledge. The Hijab (PROPER HIJAB NOT A SCARF AROUND YOUR HEAD) is a requirement ordained by Allah for all Muslim women. He is not telling how women should dress, actually quite the opposite. The Lord of all Worlds is telling how women should dress. So obey Allah. Lest you will be amongst the sinners.
If you really love and fear Allah you will do your best to go to the jannah. You will listen and obey once it’s Quran and sunnah and leave off any arguments. And honestly if you do it with sincerity and Allah would protect you without any doubt
@@servant_serv-ant4163 it is not about forcing muslim women to wear hijab ...the verse is about forcing on non muslims....with force you can't make others believe Islam or any concept ...

@Servant_Serv-Ant "There is no compulsion in religion" - stupid ignorant people say this and they don't know its context. "There is no compulsion in religion" - this is referring to joining Islam. entering the religion as a non Muslim. There are lots of compulsory acts in Islam. like the salah. if you don't pray you will be labelled as a kafir and be thrown into hell
@Servant_Serv-Ant forcing children to pray is part of Islam. the prophet told us to instruct our children to pray when they are 7 years of age and beat them when they are 10.
When Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies.” [al-Ahzab 33:59], he covered his face, leaving only one eye showing. This indicates that what was meant by the verse was covering the face. This was the interpretation of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) of this verse, as narrated from him by ‘Ubaydah al-Salmani when he asked him about it. Evidence for niqab from the Sunnah In the Sunnah, there are many ahadith, such as: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The woman in ihram is forbidden to veil her face (wear Niqab) or to wear the burqa’.” This indicates that when women were not in ihram, women used to cover their faces. Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: “We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram, and when men passed by us, we would lower the Khimar on our heads over our faces, and when they moved on we would lift it again.”
i'm with zakir naik on this. i feel it's very encouraged to cover our faces, but not mandatory. it is possible it is mandatory because it is exclusive mentioned to uncover during hajj, but many other refrences prove otherwise. i personally wear niqab/ cover my face with my hijab when it feels necessary, but i;m not a niqabi. i usually wear my mask as a subsitute at school/ infront of my home tutors because can't wear niqab at school and this is what i have done since 8th grade. May Allah swt make it easy for all of us ,ameen.
I grew up in Western culture I once viewed niqab as over, unnecessary etc And worse For past year, l have come to have High regard for those women who wear Niqab, Niqab requires self sacrifice, discipline, focus on ur inner self, Fruits of Niqab in return piety knowing ur self more, More Focus on our temporary reality,less distraction on the worldly things, valuing pleasing Allah so much more Niqab requires inner strength, instead of submitting to worldly desires and pleasures! I Actually Love it!
Which ones? those living in war countries? married ones ?what sacrifices? Ur Deen is a way of life not a sacrifice, Nikab hijab jilbeb unfortunately this doesn't stop some women from temptations and fornications when u start praying it s putting u to test , a women who wears it and women who doesn't wear anything are not above one another stop making things bc this way of thinking is going ridiculous. There's so many stories in islam but still people needs to point others. Lot of women wears it bc they are married
I personally think "the fruits of niqab" is being over stated by a niqaabi. Self sacrifice when you dont need to is similar to the situation described in the Quran about Christian monasticism when Allah (swt) said in 57:27 "... and monasticism which they innovated. We did not prescribe it for them (they did so) seeking the approval of Allah... ". Niqaabis are similar Allah (swt) did not prescribe it for women yet they are innovating it to please Allah(swt). As there is no justification for wearing a niqaab in quran and sunnah niqaabis try it dress it up with words like sacrifice, discipline, focus etc. My advice strive hard in those things Allah (swt) has prescribed and don't make it hard for yourself by sacrificing and striving in those things Allah (swt) did not prescribe.
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision and acceptable deeds. May Allah forgive our shortcomings and grant us and our loved ones Paradise. May Allah accept our duas
Salam. Zakir Nike summarised the main of this topic in the end of this video: covering the face is a choice. Just covering the head is mandatory. الحمد لله و الشكر لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
Dr zakir explanation was clear and best described more over We should all do our part before we speak of others Our hijab is also our identity not just to cover up from men, so u men do ur part and lower ur gaze that's ur responsibility we do what we do for us and u do what u have to do
well with all the respects sister you're right we all have to do our individual parts of duties but i've to add a lil thing here incase you don't know....Allah also gave us the responsibility to maintain our women (mother,sister,wife) properly otherwise we'll be accountable for that too so you can't just say it's only matter of yours with due respect! and i'm repeating again it's not controlling it's responsibility ... Assalamu Alaikum stay blessed InshaAllah
@@noface6903 Allah will only hold you accountable if you never have issues with certain women in your family disobeying Allah and his rasul, rather you may encourage it even. But if you have warned her of the consequences of akhirah and the judgement of Allah and discourage her deeds, that is enough. you have done your responsibility there. but if you force her when Allah has given her the freedom to decide what she wants after all the knowledge about the consequences her choices may bring her, then you will only displease Allah. afterall, it is upto the women to decide what she wants for herself and you are nobody to impose religion on her. believe me, if you try imposing, it will do you bad in akhirah and will only cause the women to lose faith in Allah and discourage her to continue being a part of a religion which men try to force on them. dont project your opinions on the actual fatwa. bc it IS a matter of the woman solely to decide for herself and you are encouraged to only urge her to come back to the right path, not force her to the right path bc you believe otherwise you wont be granted a place in Jannah
@@noface6903okay I get that it's just these days the tone at which they address the issue is actually pushing our sisters away u know on top of that they don't do their part but yes ur right of course advising them well us is good if done properly

covering face should be a choice not forced on any one- Respect to all those who do as well as who don't - living in a non-Islamic country most of my long yrs I feel fortunate that my friend, the almighty protected me and instilled the essence of Islam in my heart. My parents were not there most of my youth as they worked several jobs to make ends meet after fleeing their beautiful homes in the wake of the 6 day war. But by the mercy of HIM he carried me and protected me and for that I owe my life and my strong morals, faith and empathy.

@@ShahzadAhmad-nb6si this is what I do know, thank you and everyone for the duaa may Allah write Hijra for me and everyone who tries to emigrate in His path
Everyone in the comments section is debating what is right and wrong. The fact is, you are wrong if you're only following what has been told to you without understanding it yourself. If you think niqab isn’t necessary, then do your research on it. You are responsible for your own deeds, not the scholars you follow. If you’re covering yourself only to avoid punishment, you’re missing the point. "You should know why you are doing it". Do you even know:"Why you are a Muslim?" Is it just because your ancestors were? Stop taking shortcuts by blindly following what you’re told. Instead, learn Islam for yourself. Even if a scholar is mostly right, they are human and can still make mistakes. Blindly following anyone is like handing over your faith to them. What will you do if, in the end, it turns out they were wrong? Take ownership of your faith. Learn and understand it deeply to ensure your beliefs and actions are truly yours.
People are so ridiculous in the comments. Men have attacked women, other men, young children, babies even animals because they refuse to control their desires. Covering will NEVER guarantee a female 100% protection from being harmed by a male. Do your best to follow ISLAM sincerely and leave the rest to ALLAH..Females are not responsible for males lack of control and actions. They will be held accountable for their own actions on the day of judgement❤❤
What is this? Whether or not men can control their desires or not is irrelevant. Each has its own responsibility. Men should lower their gaze, regardless of the women wearing the corect hijab or not. Women should wear the correct hijab regardless of men lowering their gaze or not. Don't use pathetic excuses
@hopeali the way you potray men that have attacked etc etc. I could say the same thing about women who commit bad things as well. Dont generalise and dont make it seem that men generally are the reason for women to have to cover up. And i never disagree with each gender having their own responsibility. It's that we do it not bcs particular men or women do bad things, we do it for the sake of Allah. Don't make bad men the reason we do our responsibility to Allah. Don't generalize
the covering is not just for the protection from men rather it is for women to control their urge of getting all attention and appreciation from opposite gender as in the Quran .Allah told women to lower their gazed and to not display their beauty as the challenge for women and men is different.
actually it was made clear aand agreed upon that both parties are responsible and will be accountable in front of Allah on the day of judgment. the male for not lowering their gaze and controlling their urge and the female for trying to attract the attention of men by any of the many ways that they can utilize to do so. no matter how settle, sneaky or indirect it is. A verse in the quran mentioned that women should not slam their feet on the ground so that what they wore under becomes known. And the prophet Peace be upon him said in saheeh hadith that a women that put on a perfume on front of men is a Zaniah. So yeah both parties are accountable. and while nothing will 100% guarantee your safety except the protection of Allah after we follow his instructions. not doing so will increase the risk. side note: I am not talking about the matter of covering the face that's a matter of great dispute between much more knowledgeable Muslim scholars. I am more concerned about the accountability statement you made.
Do as you believe...if you feel niqab is more correct, wear it, if you feel more comfortable with hijab/ himer as a head to the chest, wear it.. but just want to say to the sisters that do wear a head scarf and have pushed it back, this ayat is for you and me and a reminder the correct or more beneficent use of it, to draw the veil forward over the chest to cover your awrah.. more than anything the focus is modesty of the chest.
SubanAllah, so true, i live also in a nonmuslim country, i know a lot modern hijabis they get hate, but Alhamdullilah, I dont, everything went more beautiful in my life since I started wearing Niqab, i love it sooo mucht, I don`t want to be a day without anymore, Allah is the best protector, Allahu Akbar, la illaha illa Allah

To cover the face in these days is absolutely necessary. I'm testifying to this as a mature woman who started to practice niqab two years ago!! I see many young sisters also wearing niqab in west...and I'm saying about reverts they've understood the real freedom it entails. Alhamdulillah
😂😂 In the comments section men don’t care about lowering their gaze but more concern about women wearing niqab or not. Please follow what Allah said first and lower your gaze.
I wore my hijab once I understood it and asked Allah to make it easy for me to accept it I the respect it has earned me compared to the time before I started practicing Islamic life, Alhamdullilah I wear it to submit myself to Allah's will even though sometimes it's not easy especially living in a Christian nation. Allah knows best our true intentions and struggles with or without hijab.

Both sides have fair arguments, which is why the matter is so disputed. I honestly believe that this showcases the beauty of islam, as it isnt such that religious affairs are decided through who has what position but rather through scholarly debate and discussion using thr Qur'an and Sunnah of the prophet may peace and blessings be upon him. I think theres a hadith that has not been considered in the discussion, however. It was narrated that `Aishah said: The riders used to pass by us when we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram. When they came near us we would lower our jilbabs from our heads over our faces, and when they had passed by we would uncover our faces. Narrated by Abu Dawud, 1562.
Yes that's exactly what I was thinking! If you want to be modest then as a Muslim women one should try to portray they characteristics and traits of both prophet muhabbed peace be upon him and his woves according to the given situation. Since the covering of face is something which couldn't be portrayed in prophet's sunnah (PBUH), on should follow the sunnah of his wives. Also if you look at the traditional way of closing during the prophet's (pbuh) time, we come across a black abaya with a khimar on top that was thrown forward, covering everything from head to chest. So that's historical evidence as well.
I love my niqab 💜 here is the thing- In order for the middle to exist there must be the two extremes. I’m not an expert, but I live in a western society which is extremely liberal. As a leader of my family and household I find it necessary to express extreme modesty and it is absolutely freeing. InshaAllah my children will find the middle path which is best for them. We have to be realistic about the societies we are apart of and the messages we are sending our children.

Well, nowadays even if we try to cover our faces except eyes which are permissible to be seen, these men who don't have any nafs control still look at us, at our eyes, passes comments saying 'Ma Sha Allah' 'Assalamualaikum' and what not, Allahu Akbar. I've faced this a lot. Idk now what else we as a women should do at this tough times even after covering our whole body and face they're still looking at us. It's the major problem of men who couldn't control themselves and making us feel uncomfortable.
sister the goal of wearing hijab (covering yourself along with face) should be for Allah not for those shitty people like i heard somewhere should woman cover her self in front of a blind non mahram ...Yes she should coz she is following the command of Allah S.W.A ...she is not doing it for the sake of people....we should cover ourselves for the contentment of Allah and to feel ourselves comfortable...lol❤
@@tweety9991 I agree. The niyah is to do pardah only for the sake of Allah SWT, no doubt. It's just I shared what many of women (including my friends) who do proper pardah goes through. Wallahu A'lam.
@@Nausheen03 you are probably right sister i just gave my opinion may be this can help you and keep you motivat such things happend to my sis as well so i can understand how terrible this is ...well you are doingggg greattttt! ❤
When Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies.” [al-Ahzab 33:59], he covered his face, leaving only one eye showing. This indicates that what was meant by the verse was covering the face. This was the interpretation of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) of this verse, as narrated from him by ‘Ubaydah al-Salmani when he asked him about it. Evidence for niqab from the Sunnah In the Sunnah, there are many ahadith, such as: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The woman in ihram is forbidden to veil her face (wear Niqab) or to wear the burqa’.” This indicates that when women were not in ihram, women used to cover their faces. Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: “We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram, and when men passed by us, we would lower the Khimar on our heads over our faces, and when they moved on we would lift it again.”
I'm thinking Allah made this an issue of dispute for people because it is something that may not be broadly dispensable because every person is different and stages is beauty as well as levels are different. For instance, old women are excluded from having to wear a covering at all as long as they are not extravagant in their clothing. Why is this? Because due to age their beauty is lessened. Similarly it could be the case that the question of niqab vs hijab is one based in practicality and logical reasoning of the individual. If the woman knows she has beauty that attracts a lot of attention then perhaps a niqab is best suited. If the attention is less in others then maybe hijab is suitable. We are not all given the same levels of beauty as people, these are our individual trials so it makes sense that the choice of the matter is left with the individual and their level of piety. As opposed to a fixed absolute ruling. Allah knows best.
Clothing is covering the body. If you force someone to cover themselves its oppression but if you force someone not to cover themselves that's also called oppression. Regardless, we should see wisdom in every verse of Holy Qur'an and sunnah of prophet MUHAMMAD SAW. So if anyone asks you why you follow certain conditions in Islam, you would be able to answer them. If you notice these rules and regulations of Islam, you will find them simple and easy. And it gives you tranquility and protection. You will feel that if these rules should be followed everywhere as it promotes a man's well being and opens the way to Jannah.
prevention in Islam is better, if a woman can refrain from showing off her beauty for the sake of Allah, then it can prevent the man from looking at her beauty and prevent any sexual thought coming into the head of a man. because it is hard to guard against the evil thought and the waswas of shaitan when seeing a beautiful woman for a man, there are many pretty religious man in history who fall for the fitna of woman, even the Prophet PBUH said that “I have not left a trial after me more harmful to men than women.” so its best for women to cover her face as it is also a source of beauty.
@@winterain7087sadly not all women will cover themselves and wear niqab and burqa. You go to a non Muslim country and there's a whole different picture. What do you do then? Let your evil thoughts or shaytan get to you? Better to prevent yourself doing a sin which is looking at the women folks and not expect others to make it easier for you because not everyone will do it for you.
Opinion of most scholars is that niqab is not fardh, that khimar and jilbaab is fardh. That the hands and face are not awrah according to most scholars. The wives of the prophet s.a.w have different rules in the sharia to other women. There are so many narrations of female sahabah who did not cover their faces. And those who follow different opinions need to except there are other valid different opinions

Ibn Abbas(RA) narrated regarding (Allah’s) order [O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them…] that Allah commanded the believing women, when they went out of their houses for some need, to cover their faces from above their heads with the Jilbab, leaving only one eye showing[From his Tafsir Under 33:59] Proof that This saying is weak In this saying the Narrater is Ali ibn Abi Talha who heard nothing from the Tafsir of Ibne Abbas. a). According to Dahabee (d 748 h) Mu’awiyah ibn Sālih reported from him (Ali ibn Abi Talhah) from Ibn ‘Abbās a great and delightful Tafsīr.” (Mīzān Al ‘Itidāl 3/134 no. 5870) But all the Major Muhadditheen of Islam said He heard nothing from Ibne Abbas b).

[Rijaal Saheeh Muslim 2/56] g) Shaykh Nasir ud Din Al Bani Replied The hadeeth of Ibn ‘Abbaas about exposing only one eye is commonly used by those who insist that women are obliged to cover their faces in spite of their knowledge of its inauthenticity. In fact, one among them also declared it inauthentic.
Mother Aeysha was lost because she was covered completely, after that she faced very difficult situation, Allah subhaanallah talah send Surah Noor for that situation, Allah subhaanallah send the fard dress code for women to cover their chest area properly, Males and females must lower their eyes, staring at people is completely haram. There are lot of bad incidents happening for example raping, killings under covering faces. Allah subhaanallah talah says in Quran don't cross the limit, it is haram. If this(covering faces)kind of fatwa stopping people to acceptance of Islam ,who will responsible for that. May Allah guide us all to the right path .
To blame fatwas based on Quran and Sahih Hadith's and say that, that is what stops people from entering Islam is wrong. Allah SWT allows whoever He wills to enter Islam, and if someone doesn't accept Islam it is not meant for them to enter Islam by the Will of Allah.
Mufti menk also says the face covering is mandatory. the issue is he never talks about specifics, so that the people know what to do. there are videos of his online where he says a jilbab with niqab (face covering) is mandatory
We often miss the point that Fiqh or Islamic ruling always have a range. This is how human is. If we all test our blood, we see the normal range and healthy is to be within. Our sight, and hearing, all are in range. Nothing is static. So saying one openion alone is right and available is like having learned a book, but has not learned man. Islam is for man to practice not for books. So try to be a better Muslim day by day and follow whats best based on one's faith and confidences. Sametime leave the rest of the people also a space as all are not the same in knowledge, faith etc. . Though there is no uniform in this, the purpose of Hijab never changes with time.
I hope one day I will wear the niqab..day by day I love it more and more and sometimes I wear it outside because it makes me feel so comfortable, the only thing I am scared of is my family’s reaction when I tell them, but I hope everything will be just fine
May Allah make it easy for you my lovely sister, look the thing is, your family won't be always totally happy with your decisions, and it is something good to be obedient to your family, but the obedience towards Allah must be above everything. I can tell you about my experience, my Dad wasn't at the beginning totally happy, because we live in a nonmuslim country and he feared hate for me, but I was totally sure about it, even if me too in the beginning maybe not, so the first days were difficult because of doubts, but I stuck in, know SubanAllah I won't be without anymore. My father also accepted me with it. Allah azza wa jal is the changer of the hearts, you can have absolutely trust in him. He never made it difficult for me, not once Alhamdullilah, quite the opposite, everything went beautifully since that. It is the best decision I made. Do you know what the best part in obedience towards Allah is? He alone make everything easy if you trust in him, it isn't because of me, because of Him, He gave me strength, even people become nicer to me than before, but if they wouldn't have, I wouldn't really care either, we are here to please Allah not the people. Allahs promises are true, Shaitan and even people may deseive you. Allah is always truthful to all his promises, so if you trust in him, he will change everything around you. This world is nothing but a test, so are the people around us. I pray that Allah make it possible for you to wear it for his sake, and give you all the best in Dunya and Akhira, Ameen. Love you for Allah, may Allah always protect you, may Allah always guide us, and forgive us, Ameen🤍🤍🤍

Why are people thinking over the surface, for saying it’s mandatory. NO! see, everything in islam is for a reason, and hijab itself is for avoiding fitnah. What’s mandatory is covering anything which might come across attractive, something that catches attension. But Niqaaab, if you know you’re in an environment where hijab itself is quite enough then there’s no purpose left for doing niqaab. Because a man is also commanded to lower their gaze but if someone wants to disobey or involve in fitnah then what gonna they do on looking at your bare face when they can already look at a bunch of women showcasing their beauty on the same time. So a woman without niqaab with no attention catching component is NOT a disgrace or dishonor to her husband. Oh but if a husband is so insecure to feel disgrace which he shouldn’t, can convince her wife to wear niqaab. Again not force her arrogantly but convince her through love. And i think woman will do anything if it’s with love. But again intension matters more, so if a woman covers face upon husband demand but her intension turns to becoming a pick me to other people, then niqaab (even hijab) is useless in such case
Norman Ali khan is not a scholar and he didn't study Sharia like other scholars. I don't know why they put his opinion with the other scholars it's an insult to their knowledge to be honest.
I wasn't wearing hijab before the more I got closer to Allah the more I felt silly about my past views when I didn't wear one , I was thinking of scholars that they are uptight and Strict but when Allah showed me the real value of face cover by experiencing it as I'm wearing one , I wore it and I can tell you for sure , men can't see anything from us we are like queens , if proper hijabi Muslima feels like she is a princess , the niqabi feels like she is a queen 👑 That's all I can say ❤
@@asmajarrar86 and sister I support niqabs we are all musilm no matter what belief we have about niqabs and Im happy that’s the face cover have made u feel this way but me personally I’m with scholars who it’s not a obligation
Always say Quran and Sunnah. If you only say Quran, then it gives the wrong impression. Muslims would think that you're a Quranist (Nauzubillah). May Allah ﷻ protect us all. Ameen!
Well if you really love Allah(swt) you will follow him, do halal and avoid haram, that is very clear, you know already the purpose of hijab but we keep on searching for answers which will be agreed as accdg. to our wants
I don't agree with Zakir naik...Women are instructed to hide their beauty...and face is the first yardstick to measure beauty...simple and straight no Going otherway...in Haj Women identity is important to spot her in a crowd of thousands...how do u expect a man to spot her mahram with viel on her face...Allah's religion is scientific and rational...hope by now Zakir Saab must have reviewed his analysis...pardah uska hota hay jis say identity face say Pata Lagti hay...Absolute and clear
@@asra2705 The first thing that more of the 66% of men look first is the bosoms and it is confirmed. wearing niqab or gloves during umrah is forbidden, when praying is forbidden, some rules that the women of the prophet sws had were only for them. and it is very clear in the hadith were the prophet sws said that when a woman arrives to the age of menstruation, she can only show her hands and face and he used the same word that it is used in the coran. Very clear.
People should also learn not to forget that niqab is good but it doesn’t give you jannah in the otherside…..there’s something that Allah wants you to go with in the day of judgment, with all the good niqab if you don’t go With it , you may be a looser…may Allah forgive and help us go with those things that will make him accept us in jannah…❤❤
Quick question for those who are arguing in favor of covering the face. If during the holiest of Islamic obligations the Haj, a woman is not required to cover her face. Why would she be required to cover her face when she’s going to the market?
brother don't open the door for the shaitan to whisper in your head. One can question many things, for example...in a hadith Rasulallah ﷺ said purification is half of the religion, then on the other hand we are asked to purify ourselves by dirt if water is not available. You see this is our logic and our deen doesn't work according to people's logic as logic is subjective. The hadith is- Abu Malik at-Ash'ari reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Cleanliness is half of faith and al-Hamdu Lillah (all praise and gratitude is for Allah alone) fills the scale, and Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) and al-Hamdu Lillah fill up what is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one's faith) and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur'an is a proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves. (sahih muslim 223)
Its obligatory in hajj also.. Only one has to protect cloth touching ur face. It can be done with cap.. I started covering my face in hajj.. Because i got to know its compulsory in hajj also. Hajj is not farz n hijab is farz. So anything without farz(hijab) Cant be performed good (hajj)
Depending on your school of Fiqh, Islamic jurisprudence! it varies! Many of the Early Scholars don't consider the face to consetuate Awrah. the Quran doesn't mention the face as part of the 'awrah' at all. The concept of 'awrah' has been elaborated upon and interpreted by scholars over time, the face is not awrah According to Imam Abu Hanifa, the founder of the Hanafi school of jurisprudence, wearing the hijab, which covers the hair and body, is considered obligatory for women. However, he did not deem the niqab, which covers the face, as obligatory. Imam Abu Hanifa's stance was based on his interpretation of Islamic texts and principles, which emphasized modesty while allowing some flexibility in women's dress code. Imam Abu Hanifa's opinions were derived from his interpretation of Islamic teachings, including the Quran and the Hadith. While there isn't a specific verse in the Quran where Imam Abu Hanifa explicitly mentions his stance on the obligation of hijab and the niqab, his jurisprudential rulings were based on his understanding of various Quranic verses and hadiths related to modesty and dress code. One verse often cited in discussions of modesty is Surah An-Nur (24:31), where Allah instructs believing women to lower their gaze and guard their modesty, and not to display their adornments except what is apparent (such as the face and hands). Interpretations of this verse may vary among scholars and schools of thought. Imam Abu Hanifa's legal rulings and interpretations were documented in his works and were passed down through generations of scholars within the Hanafi school. His opinions on the obligation of hijab and niqab are based on his scholarly understanding of Islamic sources and principles. Imam Malik ibn Anas, the founder of the Maliki school of jurisprudence, is renowned for his contributions to Islamic law. While he emphasized the importance of modesty and decency in dress, his stance was not that of it being an obligation of niqab (face veil) Scholars argue that Imam Malik's position was that hijab (covering the hair and body) is obligatory for women, but he did not require the covering of the face with a niqab. They base this interpretation on his writings and the practices prevalent in his time and region. Ibn Hazm: An Andalusian Muslim scholar from the 10th century known for his contributions to various fields of Islamic knowledge. He held the view that covering the face (niqab) is not obligatory, but rather, covering the hair and body (hijab) is sufficient for women's modesty. Ibn Taymiyyah: A prominent medieval Islamic theologian and jurist known for his strict adherence to the Quran and Sunnah. While he emphasized the importance of modesty in dress, he did not mandate the wearing of niqab. He considered hijab (covering the hair and body) as fulfilling the requirements of Islamic dress.

He held the opinion that while hijab is obligatory for women, covering the face (niqab) is not mandatory.
2 of the other Fiqhs/ islamic jurisprudence/Schools of thought made Niqab Obligatory for muslim women both Imam Hanbali and Imam Shafi'i are known for their views on the obligation of niqab for women in certain situations. In the Hanbali school, niqab is generally considered obligatory for women in front of non-mahram men. Similarly, in the Shafi'i school, niqab is considered obligatory in specific circumstances, particularly when there is a risk of fitnah or temptation. These views are based on their interpretations of Islamic teachings and jurisprudence.

Question: if hijab and niqab is mandatory, then at the time of prophet and sahabi, did all muslim women at that time (both free women and slave women) wear hijab or niqab?
@bleh boop my point is, if niqab or hijab was mandatory to women then there would be no different for muslim women whether she was a slave woman or free woman. but actually, we hear different story that slave women should not wear the same clothes with free women.
All Muslim women at the time of Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ والہ وسلم wore a hijab and a niqib . They covered themselves with a jilbab ( which is basically a really big shawl) . They were covered from head to toe . They slave women did not wore the hijab because they were not muslim . This hukam was implemented to differentiate the Free Muslim women from the slaves. Muslim women were not slaves .
@@khudaija3916 do you know how illogical of your comment is? Well,.. according to Quran 24:31, it is clear from the ayah that they (the women) who already wear niqab or hijab or headcover or veils to cover their chest or bosoms. So the ayah is not talking about someone who doesn't wear hijab then they were told to wear hijab. Secondly, regarding the a slave muslim woman who wore niqab, are you joking? they were slave, right? and did they have money or belonging or property to buy clothes to cover their whole body? Furthermore, if they were slave, they can be sold to or bought from their masters. Then, how people would bought them if they cover their body? obviously, they should not cover their whole body in order to see their physical body (before people would like to buy slave).

Nowadays, even when women covered their whole body there are men who went out of their way to take advantage of those women. And what about lowering the gaze. What? Men is exempted from following Allah's order? Men should be emphasised to lower their gaze too just as much as women are ordered to put on the hijab/niqab.
Absolutely agree and I feel your rage but this is not subject here ! This video is here to answer women question about veiling, even in the safest neighborhood and around respectful men
Dear sister pls look up the punishment for rape in Islam. To give you peace of mind let me tell you this. The verse of lowering the faze for men came first and then came the verse of women covering up. No one is exempted.

Well if niqab is obligatory and face considered as "awra" , how come its haram to do Hadj with niqab or pray in front of Allah (the.most devine time) without covering the face. With other terms they are saying you should cover your face in normal societies.because this is not good for the society but then its okey to take it off in Mekka where also most of.the paticipants are men ???????. My opinion is also that Covering the hairs is beauty and it should.be covered but covering the face would not be obligatory otherwise how women can live in normal society ....during the prophete time women were not working and gaining their own money, they did not have to travel and go through scans machines etc.....there are other ways to conceal the beauty by covering your shape , hairs and avoiding tones of make up etc.....and stay modest without attracting any bad behaviour. Allah knows best and may allah guide us to his right path
"how come its haram to do Hadj with niqab" - you still are required to cover the face and this is from the scholars. you cover it with a veil. niqab has an opening for the eyes and this is not allowed. the prophets wives also covered their faces while doing hajj when non mahram men were approaching. please do research before making an essay
" but covering the face would not be obligatory otherwise how women can live in normal society" - Either you wear a niqab with an opening for the eyes or a thin veil over the eyes which you can see through.
also men are more attracted to faces of women over hair. for example a bald woman but she has a seductive face without ant would catch a lot of attention. A woman with hair and an above average face with makeup would likely get less attention. the face is more important than hair. it is universally agreed by all men. I have never heard a man said that they like a woman because of her hair. the face always matters more and this causes men to become astray.

And be mindful of Allah ˹O wives of the Prophet!˺ Surah al-ahzab verse -55 I conclude saying that our prophet Muhammad (sallallahu walaihi wa sallam) has been sent as role model to all mankind so if it is a rule for his wives then it is obvious we must follow their path. Some of my sisters are confused and might be going astray if u have a doubt plz read the above surah from Quran by urself not just listening to satisfying opinions. Allhuma khair.
no. in many parts of the quran where allah orders us something to do that we MUST follow, he addresses us with "tell the believing women" or "tell the believing people" or "people of faith will.." if you read the full surah you can tell starting from 33:50 that allah tells exclusive gifts only for the prophet and not for the rest of the believers. he's telling a story at this point, no orders, no demanding, nothing of what you thought it is. also, the word unveiled is not clear enough whether it means taking off the hijab or having your face uncovered.
I'm thinking Allah made this an issue of dispute for people because it is something that may not be broadly dispensable because every person is different and stages is beauty as well as levels are different. For instance, old women are excluded from having to wear a covering at all as long as they are not extravagant in their clothing. Why is this? Because due to age their beauty is lessened. Similarly it could be the case that the question of niqab vs hijab is one based in practicality and logical reasoning of the individual. If the woman knows she has beauty that attracts a lot of attention then perhaps a niqab is best suited. If the attention is less in others then maybe hijab is suitable. We are not all given the same levels of beauty as people, these are our individual trials so it makes sense that the choice of the matter is left with the individual and their level of piety. As opposed to a fixed absolute ruling. Allah knows best.
اسی طرح اسلام میں فرقے پیدا ہوتے ہیں ہمیں نہیں معلوم کہ حقیقت کیا ہے لیکن نقاب ایک نیکی سمجھ کر کر لیا جائے کیا پتا آخرت میں اس کا اجر ملے اور اللہ تعالیٰ ہم سے خوش ہو جائے
do you agree that women view men with the same bad intentions that men are often accused of? If yes, it would make sense to suggest that men should cover themselves from head to toe. However, if your answer is no, this explains why men are given certain limitations but are still asked to dress modestly and avoid exposing their body parts.
😊Hijab is not a piece of cloth on your head by Asma Bint Shameem Hijab is not a piece of cloth on your head. It’s a way of life. Just because some of the sisters have their head covered, they think that the requirement of Hijaab is fulfilled. They don’t realize that wearing a Hijaab requires much more than just covering your head. Actually, if you think about it, Hijaab is the way you talk…..the way you walk….the very way you carry yourself. In fact, Hijaab is an attitude in itself. Its a whole way of life. Allaah says: “And say to the believing women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their beauty (zeenah) except what is apparent of it, and to extend their headcoverings (khimars) to cover their bosoms (jaybs), and not to display their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers, or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their womenfolk, or what their right hands rule (slaves), or the followers from the men who do not feel sexual desire, or the small children to whom the nakedness of women is not apparent, and not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments. And turn in repentance to Allah together, O you believers, in order that you are successful.” (Surat-un-Nur: 31). Here are some of the more common issues in light of this verse about the Hijaab. Well, my head is covered. What more do you want? If you look carefully at the ayah, it clearly states that the head covers (khumur) should be drawn over the neck slits (juyoob). Khumur is the plural of the Arabic word “khimar” which means a headcover. Juyoob is the plural of the Arabic word “jaiyb”, which refers to the neck slit (of the dress). Yet, some sisters just cover their head with something, and think they are fulfilling the rights of Hijaab, although part of their hair or body is showing, or their whole neck and chest area are exposed. Actually, that was the way of the women of Jahilliyah. Al-Qurtubi said: “Women in those days used to cover their heads with the khimar, throwing its ends upon their backs. This left the neck and the upper part of the chest bare, along with the ears. Then Allah commanded them to cover those parts with the khimar.” So secure the scarf well around your face, covering your neck/chest area, and keep those half sleeves and capri pants for your Mahrams Sorry.…tight jeans and short shirt just don’t cut it You can’t wear tight jeans and a short shirt with a piece of cloth on your head and think this is Hijaab. Nor can you wear anything else that is tight, describing the shape of the body in any way, even if it is long. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “In later (generations) of my ummah there will be women who will be dressed but naked. On top of their heads (what looks) like camel humps. They will not enter into paradise or (even) get a smell of it.” (Muslim) If it is see-through, its NOT Hijaab You CANNOT use chiffon or other see through material to cover your hair and body. Everything should be covered and the color of the skin underneath should not be visible. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) once received a thick garment as a gift. He gave it to Osamah b. Zayd, who in turn gave it to his wife. When asked by the Prophet why he did not wear it, Osamah indicated that he gave it to his wife. The Prophet then said to Osamah “ask her to use a “gholalah” under it (the garment) for I fear that it (the garment) may describe the size of her bones.” (Ahmad, Abi-Dawood) (The word gholalah in Arabic means a thick fabric worn under the dress to prevent it from describing the shape of the body). The Hijaab shouldn’t attract attention The dress should not be such that it attracts men’s attention to the woman’s beauty. Allaah clearly states “not to display their beauty (zeenah).” Yet, Subhaan Allaah, some Hijaabi sisters are dressed in such a way that they attract more attention to themselves than they would if they didn’t wear Hijaab!! How could such zeenah be concealed if the dress is designed in a way that it attracts men’s eyes to the woman? It beats the purpose of Hijaab. Allaah tells us: “And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance…” [al-Ahzaab:32] What about make-up and perfume??? Wearing make up is also part of the zeenah that Allaah orders us NOT to display. So if your head and body are appropriately covered yet you are wearing bright red lipstick or dark eyeliner such that people confuse between you and a raccoon….uh sorry, that’s not Hijaab. And keep those nice fragrances for the home, between you and your husband. That’s part of Hijaab too, even if you are going to the Masjid. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “Any woman who puts on perfume and passes by people so that they can smell her fragrance, is an adulteress.” (al-Nasaa’i, Tirmidhi: hasan by Albaani) Tinkling Jewelry and Jingling bracelets ‘Loud’ and tinkling anything, be it jewelry, bracelets, clip-clopping shoes, little bells on clothes, you name it, if it jingles or makes noise, it is against the principles of Hijaab, because it attracts attention to the one wearing it. That is what is meant when Allaah orders us in the above verse…“not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments.” No laughing, joking, or hanging out with non-Mahrams Some sisters assume that since they are properly covered, its okay for them to sit around and talk, laugh, joke, etc. with the men, but that’s not right, even if he is ‘the Shaikh’. Allaah says:”. . . then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire, but speak in an honorable manner.” [al-Ahzaab:32] So talk to them when there is a specific need, and in a manner that is not necessarily rude, yet it is polite but firm. Staring at the brothers or ‘checking them out’ is NOT Hijaab Allaah orders us to “lower your gaze” in the above verse. Why? Because a single ‘look’ can say more than a thousand words. So, even if you are properly covered, keep those eyes down, conduct yourself with ‘Hayaa’, and avoid ‘fitnah’. ‘Chatting’ on the internet/phone is not part of Hijaab, either There is no such thing as “we’re just friends”. Talking to non-Mahrams is wrong even if it is through the internet or telephone. There are too many stories of illegal relationships, fornications, broken homes, extra-marital affairs and runaway brides to even mention. That is why in Islam anything that leads to haraam is also haraam. Allaah says: “Do not (even) come close to fornication, for it is an indecency, and its way is evil.” (Surah Israa:32) Be careful, even in the way you walk Remember, you are not a runway model displaying the latest fashion. Walk with modesty and hayaa and you will be respected. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “There are two types of the people of Hell that I have not seen yet….women who are clothed yet naked, walking with an enticing gait…..” (Muslim). Don’t shake hands with non-Mahrams. Its part of Hijaab It is not permissible to shake hands with a non-Mahram, because the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than to touch a woman who is not permissible for him.” (at-Tabaraani saheeh by al-Albaani). And no, it is not rude to refuse to shake hands with non-Muslims. Simply politely explain that its part of your religion and they are very understanding. Stay away from the men’s areas I see many sisters entering the Masjid from the men’s entrance, or standing idle in the hallways or where there is a chance of unnecessary mixing with the brothers. What for? Don’t we have a separate entrance for ourselves? Why do you think Allaah ordained the Hijaab in the first place? To avoid fitnah, by reducing temptation and separating the genders. “The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said to the women on his way out of the mosque when he saw men and women mixing together on their way home: ‘Give way (i.e., walk to the sides) as it is not appropriate for you to walk in the middle the road.’ Thereafter, women would walk so close to the wall that their dresses would get caught on it.” (Abu Dawood) Hijaab is also to conceal your sister Although some sisters wear the Hijaab themselves, they forget that they cannot talk about another sister and her beauty in front of their own husbands, brothers, etc. Remember, part of your Hijaab is to cover your sisters ‘awrah’ as well. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “No woman should mix with a woman and describe her to her husband so that it is as if he can see her.” (Muslim) May Allah guide us and bless us with the TRUE understanding of His Deen. Ameen. 👍

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: Asma, daughter of AbuBakr, entered upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wearing thin clothes. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turned his attention from her. He said: O Asma', when a woman reaches the age of menstruation, it does not suit her that she displays her parts of body except this and this, and he pointed to his face and hands. Abu Dawud said: This is a mursal tradition (i.e. the narrator who transmitted it from 'Aishah is missing) Khalid b. Duraik did not see 'Aishah. Sunan Abi Dawud 4104
Sahih al-Bukhari 4758 Narrated `Aishah: May Allah bestow His Mercy on the early emigrant women. When Allah revealed: "... and to draw their veils all over their Juyubihinna (i.e., their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms)..." (V.24:31) they tore their Murat (woolen dresses or waist-binding clothes or aprons etc.) and covered their heads and faces with those torn Muruts.
@@imamxx._ You surely know that there is an explanation to the verses, right? So considering that in mind its explanatory meaning is exactly like this. There is no loophole around this. It is an order from ALLAH to all muslim women to cover their faces too, so instead of arguing needlessly and without knowldge above all, try to understand and study deep Quraan and Sunnah. And ALLAH knows best.
If you follow the majority of people on the earth, they will lead you astray from the path of God, for they follow only conjecture and surmise. [6:115]
@@Ward..339 that's quite ignorant. Majority here, refers to majority of scholars. Scholars that know the quran and hadith MUCH better than the average person. You choosing "quran and hadith" above the opinions of scholars regarding the quran and sunnah is basically saying you live by your own flawed interpretation of the quran and hadith, all the while scholars have the closest most accurate answers for the contents of the quran and hadith.
Here is a hadith I found there is a hadith in al bukhari "Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "When the verse 'They should draw their veils over their necks and bossoms' was revealed, the ladies cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their heads and faces with those pieces of cloth" (Sahih Al-Bukhari 4759)
This is the scholar who says it’s sunnah to drink camel urine astaghfirullah. If a veil is wajib then why did Allah swt command women not to cover their faces in hajj and umrah
The ruling of Hajj and unrah are different. You can check the hadeeth of Aisha. She said they were using niqab but once they are in ihram they use to remove it. Say for example, men do not wear underwear when in ihram. Camel urine is medicinal please read about this. I have families who are into prophetic medicine. I know what cancel urine can do for you even against spiritual attack
In the form of ahram during Hajj and Umrah, women must cover their faces but not with a piece of cloth that touches their face. Hazrat Ayesha R.A said that she covered her face during the state of ahram when some non mehram came by and uncovered it when they passed.
@@amantubillahi9628Prophet never asked anyone to drink urine. Urine is dirty. And Islam is pure. Bukhari has 2 different hadeeth. He was drunk while writing most of it
Sorry where in the Quran it says music is haram ? Sorry where in the Quran it says Gold and Silk are forbidden for men ? Sorry where in the Quran it says menstruating women shouldn't pray or fast ? Sorry where in the Quran it says that there are 5 obligatory prayers, how they should be performed and their specific timing ? I agree with you on the fact that niqab may not be compulsory, but the reasoning and logic you used is flawed and honestly very dangerous. Quran is a critical guide yes but it won't have a comprehensive list of every single issue or scenario life throws at you. And le'ts not forget that scholars aren't pulling stuff out of thin air. Their disagreements stem from interpreting complex ideas all while taking into consideration historical context and cultural nuances and language. So Quran only type of approach will only lead to some pretty misguided concluions. And Allah knows best.
Depending on your school of Fiqh, Islamic jurisprudence! it varies! Many of the Early Scholars don't consider the face to consetuate Awrah. the Quran doesn't mention the face as part of the 'awrah' at all. The concept of 'awrah' has been elaborated upon and interpreted by scholars over time, the face is not awrah According to Imam Abu Hanifa, the founder of the Hanafi school of jurisprudence, wearing the hijab, which covers the hair and body, is considered obligatory for women. However, he did not deem the niqab, which covers the face, as obligatory. Imam Abu Hanifa's stance was based on his interpretation of Islamic texts and principles, which emphasized modesty while allowing some flexibility in women's dress code. Imam Abu Hanifa's opinions were derived from his interpretation of Islamic teachings, including the Quran and the Hadith. While there isn't a specific verse in the Quran where Imam Abu Hanifa explicitly mentions his stance on the obligation of hijab and the niqab, his jurisprudential rulings were based on his understanding of various Quranic verses and hadiths related to modesty and dress code. One verse often cited in discussions of modesty is Surah An-Nur (24:31), where Allah instructs believing women to lower their gaze and guard their modesty, and not to display their adornments except what is apparent (such as the face and hands). Interpretations of this verse may vary among scholars and schools of thought. Imam Abu Hanifa's legal rulings and interpretations were documented in his works and were passed down through generations of scholars within the Hanafi school. His opinions on the obligation of hijab and niqab are based on his scholarly understanding of Islamic sources and principles. Imam Malik ibn Anas, the founder of the Maliki school of jurisprudence, is renowned for his contributions to Islamic law. While he emphasized the importance of modesty and decency in dress, his stance was not that of it being an obligation of niqab (face veil) Scholars argue that Imam Malik's position was that hijab (covering the hair and body) is obligatory for women, but he did not require the covering of the face with a niqab. They base this interpretation on his writings and the practices prevalent in his time and region. Ibn Hazm: An Andalusian Muslim scholar from the 10th century known for his contributions to various fields of Islamic knowledge. He held the view that covering the face (niqab) is not obligatory, but rather, covering the hair and body (hijab) is sufficient for women's modesty. Ibn Taymiyyah: A prominent medieval Islamic theologian and jurist known for his strict adherence to the Quran and Sunnah. While he emphasized the importance of modesty in dress, he did not mandate the wearing of niqab. He considered hijab (covering the hair and body) as fulfilling the requirements of Islamic dress. Ibn Qudamah: A Hanbali jurist from the 12th century who wrote extensively on Islamic jurisprudence. He held the opinion that while hijab is obligatory for women, covering the face (niqab) is not mandatory.
2 of the other Fiqhs/ islamic jurisprudence/Schools of thought made Niqab Obligatory for muslim women both Imam Hanbali and Imam Shafi'i are known for their views on the obligation of niqab for women in certain situations. In the Hanbali school, niqab is generally considered obligatory for women in front of non-mahram men. Similarly, in the Shafi'i school, niqab is considered obligatory in specific circumstances, particularly when there is a risk of fitnah or temptation. These views are based on their interpretations of Islamic teachings and jurisprudence.
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan (may Allah preserve him) said: "The correct view as indicated by the evidence is that the woman's face is 'awrah which must be covered. It is the most tempting part of her body because what people look at most is the face, so the face is the greatest 'awrah of a woman. This is in addition to the sharia evidence, which states that it is obligatory to cover the face. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): "And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and 2,499 protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer 73 palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks, and bosoms)..." [al-Nur 24:31] Drawing the veil all over the juyub implies covering the face. When Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the verse (interpretation of the meaning): "O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies." [al-Ahzab 33:59], he covered his face, leaving only one eye showing. This indicates that what was meant by the verse was covering the face. This was the interpretation of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) of this verse, as narrated from him by Ubaydah al-Salmani when he : asked him about it. There is Hadith of Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who she said: "We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram, and when men passed by us, we would lower the Khimar on our heads over our faces, and when they moved on we would lift it again."
Education has given people the chance to think for themselves, and see the conflictions between the truth and so called 'religious' writings. Eventually all people will have an education that will free them from the lies of religion.
But women are also attracted to men's arms, muscles, beard, jawline, eyes or face but he doesn't need to cover.. so becoming completely invisib is not the only solution. We all need to purify our minds respect the opposite gender and lower our gaze. It might be true that men are more sexually attracted so women need to do more pardah but I'm not sure abut covering the face.
True. Women do get attracted towards men. So the ayah revealed first and foremost states " Command the believing women to lower their gaze..... " And then mentions the hijab. Moreover, even if the woman is attracted, she cannot harass the man, but only seduce him ( that too when the man allows her to do so) .
No, women don’t need to cover up more, the men just need to stop acting as if they are above Allah’s law and do better at lowering their gaze. Both genders are commanded to lower their gaze and cover their private parts.
Salafis be like: cover your face, cover your body, cover your palm and feet and your eyes and cover the fact that you exist.🤣🤣 Bruh majority of us Muslims learnt from the Qur'an and the widely accepted prophetic tradition that the face is NOT part of awrah and therefore need not be covered. There are many scarf-wearing Saudi-oil fed Wahabi and Salafi so called Sheikhs who will tell you many things that boils down to this: "as a woman you are allowed to breathe and breed. Now serve the men and be happy." Sorry my dear, we women have been given brains too, we read and think and learn. Allah is just as much our Lord as Allah is yours. Then why do you think Allah will deliberately reduce women's quality of life and make it so difficult that they can not function at all in society? The first "sheikh" here, I 've seen him in one of yt shorts saying that his wife covers herself from women too. As in, she does not remove her face covering in front of other women to be able to eat at a family gathering etc. This is ridiculous. I mean cover all you like (or may be don't) but don't claim it to be Islam unless it is firmly rooted in Qur'an and solid hadith (that does it oppose the Qur'an). Also NAK did a great explanation, it helped me a lot. Thanks.
u clearly don't know that imam shafi'i and imam ahmed said that niqab is apart of awrah. U clearly r just brainwashed kid who doesn't know about the basics of islam LOL.
Mahbuba Akhtar Quran teaches us modesty first. It is about our BEHAVIOUR. You’re right in your comment. Let’s not debate over this everyone should do their best for themselves! Deen of Islam is for all of us to thrive together. I don’t agree with them following Imams like that. I’m not accountable in front of them but to My Creator and Master only.
Covering face is not mandatory cause.... because there are women like me who have problem breathing inside the naqab on face........I don't feel good when I have naqat on my face ... my mind don't work where to go what to do.....so it's not mandatory...... stop of argument....and the guys who are saying than lower your gaze
I wear a long coat that has a hat on it still dose the same thing as nikab u hair is coverd you face is coverd from the sides and it's easy to take hat and put on again without feeling uncomfortable at least that way you trying🤗💜
The man should not look at the woman's face in the 1st place and should not always fall on the woman to cover their face , in that case the man should cover his face too - I've worn the hijab, loose respectable clothing from a young age in a non-Islamic country and have never in all my decades had anyone make a rude comment about my scarf. First and foremost a Muslim has to have respect for herself, her faith and her almighty creator. Alhamdolilah wa shokr lilah everything is a blessing from Him, the good things to be grateful for and the bad, to learn from and improve one's faith
@معشر الشباب Who commits the most rapes and attacks on women? Eagles? Sharks? No, it’s always men. And if you don’t believe in the equality of women and men, go back to your cave in Afghanistan
Slave women didn’t cover. Not even their chest in some areas was bare. They had to fight for the right to cover. Some covered and were punished for it as they were not free women. In time they allowed them to cover. Folks had right hand processions they could do with what they wanted. In time it changed. So yeah most today would say taking procession of people by force is wrong. Turning them into concubines is wrong. And stopping women from covering due to any status men place upon them is wrong. Even though the Quran doesn’t directly say so. Same thing in reverse. Forcing women to do anything they’re not ready to do is wrong. All we have to do is worry about our own personal practice and treat everyone with kindness and respect as long as they do the same.
@@YussefAbdelhady Lets be honest Islamic scholars never stress more Men's accountability in sexual assault and moral bankruptcy as much as they do on women.They talk so much on women being fitna that it just feel hatred and misogny.If a women dresses non provocative then she should cover her head ,well after covering head,cover face then after covering face put cover on eyes like Afghani burqa in Taliban regime,seems like they just wanted women to disappear.
@namra The thing is not everything is materialistic and "oppresive" by your standards. Everything in the religion is decreed by allah not the scholars. If a scholar says something without evidence from the quran or sunnah then their words are nothing. Women cover because the creator of the universe told them to do so, thats it. Any interpretations or reasoning for the wisdom behind it is human ijtihad. Thats it Men on the other hand have so much decreed upon them by allah exclusively, including jihad, spending money on the family, lowering their gaze and not looking at women (even if theyre covered) and much more. Islam isnt abt controlling women or controlling men its not the christian church. Islam is about adhering tk the word of allah swt. If you dont believe rhay the quran is the word of allah then we talk abt that with evidences and logic. But if you do believe it then you have to adhere to it. And allah knows best
@@YussefAbdelhady there is no doubt about your articulation, brother. However, I believe scholars have to preach to avoid men doing wrongs too. Because the majority of speeches specify women instead of men. It is understandable in such a destructive time of the world and manipulation of non-muslims. Lovering gaze is described in Quran and narration from Prophet (peace be upon him and his prodigy). In addition, I do believe that the reason of spreading prostitution is due to men instead of women, because, men demand it as a customer of women who offers her body. Therefore, without discrimination both male and female must obey and follow the rule if they are believer. May ALLAH Guide and Retains us in his Rope!
@Agil Aliyev Where did you get the statistics to say the "majority" only talk about women I on the other hand see more scholars talking abt men lowering their gaze and asking allah for iffa and much more. The media just spotlights the parts where they talk about womens part, and glorify it so that is seems to people that they only talk about women Wallahy talk about women wouldnt even be more that 15% of their speech We have a lot more going on than what is being displayed brother.
When Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies.” [al-Ahzab 33:59], he covered his face, leaving only one eye showing. This indicates that what was meant by the verse was covering the face. This was the interpretation of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) of this verse, as narrated from him by ‘Ubaydah al-Salmani when he asked him about it. Evidence for niqab from the Sunnah In the Sunnah, there are many ahadith, such as: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The woman in ihram is forbidden to veil her face (wear Niqab) or to wear the burqa’.” This indicates that when women were not in ihram, women used to cover their faces. Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: “We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram, and when men passed by us, we would lower the Khimar on our heads over our faces, and when they moved on we would lift it again.”
why are we making mandatory something that isn't.... for man? so we make woman cover more than what was commended of the woman? if its compulsory Allah will make it clear that it is. if there are situations when she doesn't have to, its shows that it's not compulsory. if woman have to cover everything bcaz its fitnah for man, when does lowering your gaze applies to man? if woman are made compulsory to cover everything.
exactly my thought!! what does a sister do in a country where niqab is forbidden? move out? what if she is a child? and her parents can't afford to move to another country? and when shes old enough.. she cant leave without a mahram by her side.. so many things that could put you off from wearing niqab alhamdulillah at least the hijab is allowed. nowadays no work place will take you with niqab, especially in western countries. allah knew this. it makes only sense that he made at least hijab compulsory and whoever can afford to wear the niqab, shall wear it.
I can't understand is it woman's responsibility to control man's feeling. Just lower your gaze. Khalas. No fitnah... Oh Man please STOP STOP STOP. Let's burried us if we are Fitnah for men. I'm Exursted.
It is required for the balance in the society and for the safety of an individual woman. As men may tease her if they saw her without proper covering. At the same time if woman insist on not covering and giving the whole responsibiloty to men they wud also argue over not fulfilling the responsibility.
@@oana-crampeiedesuflet8383 Should we cover ourselves for the sake of Allah or to save men from fitnah?? Are we source of fitnah? Before the ayah of Hijab reveald are prophet's ﷺ wife(s) were fitnah for Sahabas? No one can give women the respect Allah has given us. Trust me If Prophet ﷺ has ever criticized women the way scholars do I may not be the follower of Islam.
men should lower their gaze but not all of them do, we can't just control other people.Some do the right others don't and that is when we should take action ourselves,wich is in this case, wearing the hijab @@firdausparveen4849
A man has his own hijab as well. It’s not only because of their gaze.hijab means modesty in general . It’s the way we carry ourselves and the way we live and dress. It redefines beauty on its own, making others focus on your character and your inner beauty ,rather than your outer beauty. People take us more seriously and show us more respect,when being modest.it’s like a protection from Allah. It keeps you from men with bad intentions and from other things like zina,etc… Although it is an obligation, Allah gave us a mind of our own so that it is still your choice not to wear it. But remember that disobedience will be punished by Allah one day if you choose not to make tawbah before returning to him.
And i have question!! Though i have no clear cut idea about the topic?? What about eyes?? Eyes hold also beauty and can be attractive... Then why it is not impermissible to hide eyes...with a network types cover by which you can see the outside but your eyes can't be seen???
Most obsessed about part of the religion and it's not even a main concern by far. Why? Because men still view women in the wrong way and overly focused on the visual, external in general. Perfect man gave you perfect example and brought you the perfect book so you can behave in the same way! Sick of this
For all the people with common sense out there, the short answer is NO! it is not mandatory to wear a niqab and you will not be held accountable for not wearing it since it’s not fard.

Imam Abu Hanifa's legal rulings and interpretations were documented in his works and were passed down through generations of scholars within the Hanafi school.

Where in Quran or Hadith does it clearly say, Women must cover their Face completely expect their eyes. Jilbab is not a Veil. Also, why is it that inside Kaaba, women can not cover their face? Jazakum Allah Khair
When Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies.” [al-Ahzab 33:59], he covered his face, leaving only one eye showing. This indicates that what was meant by the verse was covering the face. This was the interpretation of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) of this verse, as narrated from him by ‘Ubaydah al-Salmani when he asked him about it. Evidence for niqab from the Sunnah In the Sunnah, there are many ahadith, such as: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The woman in ihram is forbidden to veil her face (wear Niqab) or to wear the burqa’.” This indicates that when women were not in ihram, women used to cover their faces. Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: “We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram, and when men passed by us, we would lower the Khimar on our heads over our faces, and when they moved on we would lift it again.”
@@ShahzadAhmad-nb6si There are too many lies in the Quran to print them all here, so here are just a few.(Proof that the Quran was written by men) 1) Science from the Quran that has been proved to be false by modern science. Earth and heavens created in six days. Earth created before stars. Earth and heavens torn apart. Heaven made from smoke. Seven Earths. Seven heavens. Implied similar size and distance of the sun and moon. Moon split in two. Nature of the moon's light. Meteors as stars fired at devils. The entire heaven has a night and day. The sky/heaven as a ceiling. The sky/heaven as a guarded ceiling. Heavens to be rolled up. Stars as something that fall. The cause of shadows changing length. Disregard of North and South Poles. Non-mathematical hereditary laws 2) Examples of real science denied or corrupted by Islam. a) Evolution (denied by Islam for its own, false, version), was a theory in 1892 but has since been proved to be the truth by seven different methods. b) Geocentricism. 3) Embryology. There are also many other faults in the Quran which prove it must have been written by the ignorant people of the 7th century and not by any 'god'. If the Quran is false, then isn't 'god'? Here are 2 more big lies from the Quran 1) The Quran and Bible describe how 'Allah' created the first human from CLAY or Dust. This is what primitive people thought, but in reality, humanity was created through evolution (proved beyond doubt to be correct). 2) The greatest miracle in the Quran is that sperm is formed between the backbone and ribs. That just isn't true. Sperm is formed in the testicles. A real 'god' would have known these facts, proving that the Quran was created by men who were ignorant of evolution at the time. This does not disprove 'god', but it proves the the Quran was written be men in an attempt to prove that a 'god' exists. The Quran contains so many scientific faults that it could not have been written, or influenced, by any 'god'. The science in the Quran is that of the Sumerians, the Greeks and the Egyptians and is outdated. A real 'god' would not have made those mistakes. Men wrote the Quran.
@@ShahzadAhmad-nb6si Thank you for taking the time to respond, I truly appreciate it. 1 - "Cloak" is not veil. The closest thing Cloak comes to is, Abaya. Also, what you are referring to is maybe "Jilbab", that too is Not Niqab. Jilbab is, as you mentioned, Cloak. 2 - As you wrote, "all over their bodies", Veil does not cover the entire body, just the Face. However, a Cloak or Jilbab, does cover the entire body. 3 - "This indicates that what was meant by the verse was covering the face.", Sorry it doesn't. Also, when you use the word "meant", the word itself is equivalent to "Assumption". As for "interpretation", two people can interpret the same sentence in many different ways. Depending, on What the person interpreting has on his mind. 4 - Prophet Muhummad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The woman in ihram is forbidden to veil her face (wear Niqab) or to wear the burqa’. Are you not aware, that if you are not wearing a Abaya, or have your entire body covered, the women are not allowed to enter the Haram Makki? Also, please explain to me, Why is it that Women are not allowed to enter the Haram Makki with Niqab? If it was Compulsory and Mandatory, then the Haram should have not been exempted. Right? 5 - You wrote "Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: “We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram, and when men passed by us, we would lower the Khimar on our heads over our faces, and when they moved on we would lift it again.” My dear brother, Khimar, is Not a Niqab. It is the black garment that is over the head, covers the entire face. On the other hand, Veil, covers ONLY the Mouth and part of the Nose. The eyes are exposed. The word خمار Came from the word خمر, which I am sure you understand means what. 6 - Sunnah, is not Fard. You get rewarded to follow Sunnah, but don't get an Ithm (اثم ) for leaving it. Remember, a Woman's real beauty is seen by yhe beauty of her Eyes and not mouth or part of the nose, which the Veil covers. Bottom line, Show me, where in Quran or Hadeth is says that All Women should wear a Niqab. It shouldn't be difficult, it is an Arabic word. NOTE: PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG, AL HAMDU LILLAH, I AM A PRACTICING MUSLIM. I AM JUST SEARCHING TO A CLEAR CUT MESSAGE, NOT AN ASSUMPTION. NOT KHIMAR, NOT ABAYA, NOT JILBAB. NOT INTERPRETATION, NOT "WHICH MEANS", NOT INDICATES. PLEASE SHOW ME IN WHICH AAYA, OR SURAH, OR HADITH, DOES IT CLEARLY SAY النقاب فرض على كل مسلمه AND THOSE WHO DO NOT FOLLOW IT, WILL GET "ITHM (أثم). SUNNAH IS ALSO KEEPING BEARD, BUT THEN, HOW MANY MEN KEEP BEARD, LOOK AT YOURSELF, YOU DON'T HAVE A BEARD, AT LEAST IN YOUR DP. DOES THAT MEAN YOU WILL GO TO HELL FOR NOT KEEPING A BEARD? As some people in India, Pakistan, Bangaladesh, Srilanka, think that Men who do not have a beard, their Salaat is batil. Some believe that those who do not wear a cap, their Salaat is batil. If this WAS true, see if they would allow people without beard or wearing a cap enter ANY MOSQUE in the world. Once again, thatnk you for your detailed response. Appreciated it.
After listening to them, it appears to me that if one wears niqab to maintain modesty, they are free to do so. But if someone finds it uncomfortable , because of various reasons like heat, respiratory issues, issues with verification or identification, they can remove the niqab. Because Islam never wants to cause harm or discomfort for a person. But head covering is mandatory. Hair , chest and back should be covered with the covering properly
Agreed. Niqab is not compulsory.
@Lilac Henry do you not see the e?
@Lilac Henry people like you who enjoy to have a moral high ground about every single aspect of life aren't the type to actually educate someone about religious rules or values. You are talking about women wearing tight dresses, not a single person in this comment section was talking about wearing tight dresses. We were only talking about niqab. And did you not watch the whole video, where even scholars are giving different opinions about niqab, then why are you so agitated over my comment? Also , you say Islam is not so easy, you are quite wrong in this case. Because Allah himself said in Quran that he intends to make life easy for humans, so if you think your opinion is what everyone should care about, you came to the wrong place. Your anger and agitation will not be entertained here so if you want to be angry and agitated pointlessly, go somewhere else . And before that, learn some mannerisms because your way to approach for communication is condescending, Islam detests this kind of attitude too. Also write proper English, or write in your own mother tongue so that UA-cam can translate it. Whatever you wrote is incomprehensible.
@Lilac Henry you act as if you know a lot but really, you are just ranting.
Covering the hair is compulsory,covering the face is sunnah. As simple as that
Don't have to completely ditch the Niqab for verification or identification. There are exceptions where there is need, but it's still best to wear the Niqab.
So i was also battling in my head that Quran didn’t say about covering head and hair and what not… I was also thinking that these scholars or dominated people must have made all this up. Or this must be mistaken from Arab culture.
I asked Allah to guide me and let me know what I am supposed to know or understand. Then same day the thought came to my mind. That no matter what,I can never pray “SALAH” without covering my head and body as prescribed by scholars for hijab. If Allah does not want to see me in salah not properly dressed in hijab at home then how can Allah accept me not dressed outside in front of non mehrams as recommended by scholars. And since that day my mind was clear about hijab. Now I am a hijabi MashAllah.
Masha’Allah, may the hijab be a beautiful step to get closer to Allah ❤
Mashaallah Mashaallah
What does it mean...do u cover ur face or not
@@FirdousAsad-jc6kc no… I watched the Zakir Naik’s argument over niqab and found it absolutely sensible. So I don’t wear niqab. I only wear jilbab without the niqab.
@@MrandmrsShaikh Almost all scholars agree on this matter that women should cover face too(unless they have serious problem then they can use Khimar only, like in Sweden it isnt allowed to cover face). So when you look at it, it really makes more sense in the ayah mentioned in Surah Ahzab means. It clealry states to cover yourself in a way that you will not be recognized. So by you will not be recognized ALLAH literally means that Muslim women should cover themselves completely, FACE as well, no beating around the bush. No one can deny this and if anyone does deny it or mistranslate it or try to find a loophole around it then May ALLAH give him\her hidayah aameen sum aameen. MayALLAH guide us and keep us on the right path aameen sum aameem
Dr Zakir Naik's speeches are authentic and well explained
Respect to all of them.
But Dr. Zakir Naik made most sense and he quoted both quran and authentic hadith.
May Allah reward him.
But the sahih bukhari vol 7, hadith 5652 which he mentioned is actually a special case
The amazing thing with nouman ali khan is his speech about any topic oozes so much knowledge that it Becomes hard to believe that he was not born in the previous times 🤩
Norman always shines and original language is so indicative. Mufti menk teaches from the Quran and his tafsir is excellent and easy to understand, stressing modesty. Dr. Zaki knows his Quran well. Jilbab is referred to by Allah in the Quran. Very informative video.
People really take what they want and understand what they want bc this suits u or them , we don't know Quran like a pro so it s easy to manipulate. Covering head chest and wearing respectable clothing for women and men , Norman khan is very good too. Allahu wahlem.
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity, and not to reveal their adornments except what normally appears. Let them draw their veils over their chests, and not reveal their ˹hidden˺ adornments except to their husbands, their fathers, their fathers-in-law, their sons, their stepsons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, their fellow women, those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession, male attendants with no desire, or children who are still unaware of women’s nakedness. Let them not stomp their feet, drawing attention to their hidden adornments. Turn to Allah in repentance all together, O believers, so that you may be successful.
Norman dress in western attire and tells women how to dress
@@ZarinaSBibi Those Western clothes are no longer specially made for the kafir, so Muslims (Men) can wear those kinds of clothing.
It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Umar said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 3512; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 2691.
So just because the West invented planes and cars does that mean we should not use them? Of course not. Those technologies are no longer limited or held praise in Western culture. So wearing this kind of suit is permissible to my knowledge.
The Hijab (PROPER HIJAB NOT A SCARF AROUND YOUR HEAD) is a requirement ordained by Allah for all Muslim women. He is not telling how women should dress, actually quite the opposite. The Lord of all Worlds is telling how women should dress. So obey Allah. Lest you will be amongst the sinners.
If you really love and fear Allah you will do your best to go to the jannah. You will listen and obey once it’s Quran and sunnah and leave off any arguments. And honestly if you do it with sincerity and Allah would protect you without any doubt
@@servant_serv-ant4163 it is not about forcing muslim women to wear hijab ...the verse is about forcing on non muslims....with force you can't make others believe Islam or any concept ...
@@servant_serv-ant4163 yes there is no compulsion ...even if u want eat grass ..u r free to do so...I won't force u to eat good things ...but once a person wholeheartedly believes and wants to follow and submit to Allah's will completely ....that can't be selective ..whatever is obligatory is obligatory ....
@Servant_Serv-Ant "There is no compulsion in religion" - stupid ignorant people say this and they don't know its context.
"There is no compulsion in religion" - this is referring to joining Islam. entering the religion as a non Muslim.
There are lots of compulsory acts in Islam. like the salah. if you don't pray you will be labelled as a kafir and be thrown into hell
@Servant_Serv-Ant forcing children to pray is part of Islam. the prophet told us to instruct our children to pray when they are 7 years of age and beat them when they are 10.

I’m not against covering my face, but I’ve always wondered which way it was. Thank you for your video🙏 May Allah bless you.
i'm with zakir naik on this. i feel it's very encouraged to cover our faces, but not mandatory.
it is possible it is mandatory because it is exclusive mentioned to uncover during hajj, but many other refrences prove otherwise. i personally wear niqab/ cover my face with my hijab when it feels necessary, but i;m not a niqabi. i usually wear my mask as a subsitute at school/ infront of my home tutors because can't wear niqab at school and this is what i have done since 8th grade. May Allah swt make it easy for all of us ,ameen.
No , wearing niquab is not part of Islam , it’s a cultural thing
may Allah reward u for ur efforts 🤲
Mashaa Allah.. so happy to hear this.. May Allah give you istiqamah..
@@Cousinbiddy1 which culture?
@@whatsnineplusten Arab culture
I grew up in Western culture
I once viewed niqab as over, unnecessary etc
And worse
For past year, l have come to have High regard for those women who wear Niqab,
Niqab requires self sacrifice, discipline, focus on ur inner self,
Fruits of Niqab in return piety knowing ur self more, More Focus on our temporary reality,less distraction on the worldly things, valuing pleasing Allah so much more
Niqab requires inner strength, instead of submitting to worldly desires and pleasures!
I Actually Love it!
Yes and sadly no. Many women in niqab are hiding. I have met very corrupt women in niqab. Especially in the US.
Whatever but MEn are not at all following lowering gaze thing. They are always drooling over nude women online
Which ones? those living in war countries? married ones ?what sacrifices? Ur Deen is a way of life not a sacrifice, Nikab hijab jilbeb unfortunately this doesn't stop some women from temptations and fornications when u start praying it s putting u to test , a women who wears it and women who doesn't wear anything are not above one another stop making things bc this way of thinking is going ridiculous. There's so many stories in islam but still people needs to point others.
Lot of women wears it bc they are married
There are no fruits for man made inventions, only hijab was ordered, not niqab
I personally think "the fruits of niqab" is being over stated by a niqaabi. Self sacrifice when you dont need to is similar to the situation described in the Quran about Christian monasticism when Allah (swt) said in 57:27 "... and monasticism which they innovated. We did not prescribe it for them (they did so) seeking the approval of Allah... ". Niqaabis are similar Allah (swt) did not prescribe it for women yet they are innovating it to please Allah(swt). As there is no justification for wearing a niqaab in quran and sunnah niqaabis try it dress it up with words like sacrifice, discipline, focus etc. My advice strive hard in those things Allah (swt) has prescribed and don't make it hard for yourself by sacrificing and striving in those things Allah (swt) did not prescribe.
How Menk Nouman explains so good with such good facts and logics
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision and acceptable deeds.
May Allah forgive our shortcomings and grant us and our loved ones Paradise. May Allah accept our duas

Salam. Zakir Nike summarised the main of this topic in the end of this video: covering the face is a choice. Just covering the head is mandatory. الحمد لله و الشكر لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
Dr zakir explanation was clear and best described more over We should all do our part before we speak of others Our hijab is also our identity not just to cover up from men, so u men do ur part and lower ur gaze that's ur responsibility we do what we do for us and u do what u have to do
well with all the respects sister you're right we all have to do our individual parts of duties but i've to add a lil thing here incase you don't know....Allah also gave us the responsibility to maintain our women (mother,sister,wife) properly otherwise we'll be accountable for that too so you can't just say it's only matter of yours with due respect! and i'm repeating again it's not controlling it's responsibility ... Assalamu Alaikum stay blessed InshaAllah
@@noface6903 Allah will only hold you accountable if you never have issues with certain women in your family disobeying Allah and his rasul, rather you may encourage it even. But if you have warned her of the consequences of akhirah and the judgement of Allah and discourage her deeds, that is enough. you have done your responsibility there. but if you force her when Allah has given her the freedom to decide what she wants after all the knowledge about the consequences her choices may bring her, then you will only displease Allah. afterall, it is upto the women to decide what she wants for herself and you are nobody to impose religion on her. believe me, if you try imposing, it will do you bad in akhirah and will only cause the women to lose faith in Allah and discourage her to continue being a part of a religion which men try to force on them. dont project your opinions on the actual fatwa. bc it IS a matter of the woman solely to decide for herself and you are encouraged to only urge her to come back to the right path, not force her to the right path bc you believe otherwise you wont be granted a place in Jannah
@@noface6903okay I get that it's just these days the tone at which they address the issue is actually pushing our sisters away u know on top of that they don't do their part but yes ur right of course advising them well us is good if done properly

If a girl is in proper hijab and ur still staring at her you need to do better at lowering ur gaze😂
Fr. Whats this bullshit about having to hide your face now? Women are supposed to cover the head, shoulders to wrists, neck to ankles and a part of their hijab be covering their chest. Nabi Sallallahu allayhi wa sallam never said cover your face. These modern scholars will have us women living in holes and caves to prevent men looking at us in no time. Idiots.

covering face should be a choice not forced on any one- Respect to all those who do as well as who don't - living in a non-Islamic country most of my long yrs I feel fortunate that my friend, the almighty protected me and instilled the essence of Islam in my heart. My parents were not there most of my youth as they worked several jobs to make ends meet after fleeing their beautiful homes in the wake of the 6 day war. But by the mercy of HIM he carried me and protected me and for that I owe my life and my strong morals, faith and empathy.

Everyone in the comments section is debating what is right and wrong. The fact is, you are wrong if you're only following what has been told to you without understanding it yourself. If you think niqab isn’t necessary, then do your research on it. You are responsible for your own deeds, not the scholars you follow.
If you’re covering yourself only to avoid punishment, you’re missing the point. "You should know why you are doing it". Do you even know:"Why you are a Muslim?" Is it just because your ancestors were?
Stop taking shortcuts by blindly following what you’re told. Instead, learn Islam for yourself. Even if a scholar is mostly right, they are human and can still make mistakes. Blindly following anyone is like handing over your faith to them. What will you do if, in the end, it turns out they were wrong?
Take ownership of your faith. Learn and understand it deeply to ensure your beliefs and actions are truly yours.
People are so ridiculous in the comments. Men have attacked women, other men, young children, babies even animals because they refuse to control their desires. Covering will NEVER guarantee a female 100% protection from being harmed by a male. Do your best to follow ISLAM sincerely and leave the rest to ALLAH..Females are not responsible for males lack of control and actions. They will be held accountable for their own actions on the day of judgement❤❤
What is this? Whether or not men can control their desires or not is irrelevant. Each has its own responsibility. Men should lower their gaze, regardless of the women wearing the corect hijab or not. Women should wear the correct hijab regardless of men lowering their gaze or not. Don't use pathetic excuses
@@forlonforrester6039 what excuse? I said men are responsible for their own actions. You don't like that?
@hopeali the way you potray men that have attacked etc etc. I could say the same thing about women who commit bad things as well. Dont generalise and dont make it seem that men generally are the reason for women to have to cover up. And i never disagree with each gender having their own responsibility. It's that we do it not bcs particular men or women do bad things, we do it for the sake of Allah. Don't make bad men the reason we do our responsibility to Allah. Don't generalize
the covering is not just for the protection from men rather it is for women to control their urge of getting all attention and appreciation from opposite gender as in the Quran .Allah told women to lower their gazed and to not display their beauty as the challenge for women and men is different.
actually it was made clear aand agreed upon that both parties are responsible and will be accountable in front of Allah on the day of judgment. the male for not lowering their gaze and controlling their urge and the female for trying to attract the attention of men by any of the many ways that they can utilize to do so. no matter how settle, sneaky or indirect it is. A verse in the quran mentioned that women should not slam their feet on the ground so that what they wore under becomes known. And the prophet Peace be upon him said in saheeh hadith that a women that put on a perfume on front of men is a Zaniah.
So yeah both parties are accountable. and while nothing will 100% guarantee your safety except the protection of Allah after we follow his instructions. not doing so will increase the risk.
side note: I am not talking about the matter of covering the face that's a matter of great dispute between much more knowledgeable Muslim scholars. I am more concerned about the accountability statement you made.
Do as you believe...if you feel niqab is more correct, wear it, if you feel more comfortable with hijab/ himer as a head to the chest, wear it.. but just want to say to the sisters that do wear a head scarf and have pushed it back, this ayat is for you and me and a reminder the correct or more beneficent use of it, to draw the veil forward over the chest to cover your awrah.. more than anything the focus is modesty of the chest.
9:40 Zakir Naik is right 💖
After niqab I feel like i m Queen 👑. And feeling like bodyguards around me who protect me from bad or evil eyes 🌺

It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The riders used to pass us when we were with the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in ihram. When they drew close to us, one of us would let down her jilbaab from her head over her face, and when they had passed us we would uncover it again.

When Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies.” [al-Ahzab 33:59], he covered his face, leaving only one eye showing. This indicates that what was meant by the verse was covering the face. This was the interpretation of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) of this verse, as narrated from him by ‘Ubaydah al-Salmani when he asked him about it.
Evidence for niqab from the Sunnah
In the Sunnah, there are many ahadith, such as: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The woman in ihram is forbidden to veil her face (wear Niqab) or to wear the burqa’.” This indicates that when women were not in ihram, women used to cover their faces.

To cover the face in these days is absolutely necessary. I'm testifying to this as a mature woman who started to practice niqab two years ago!! I see many young sisters also wearing niqab in west...and I'm saying about reverts they've understood the real freedom it entails. Alhamdulillah

The covering of women is not just for the protection from men rather it is for women to control their urge of getting all attention and appreciation from opposite gender as in the Quran .Allah told women to lower their gazed and to not display their beauty as the challenge for women and men is different. The women's attraction towards men is very small than men's attraction towards women and for women the bigger challenge is controlling her own desires of displaying her beauty and for men , it is the women .
so for the lowering of gaze and staying away from any innocent act that could them to zina should be avoided in sha Allah.. May Allah open our hearts for the knowledge of deen ameen
Both sides have fair arguments, which is why the matter is so disputed. I honestly believe that this showcases the beauty of islam, as it isnt such that religious affairs are decided through who has what position but rather through scholarly debate and discussion using thr Qur'an and Sunnah of the prophet may peace and blessings be upon him.
I think theres a hadith that has not been considered in the discussion, however.
It was narrated that `Aishah said: The riders used to pass by us when we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram. When they came near us we would lower our jilbabs from our heads over our faces, and when they had passed by we would uncover our faces. Narrated by Abu Dawud, 1562.
Yes that's exactly what I was thinking! If you want to be modest then as a Muslim women one should try to portray they characteristics and traits of both prophet muhabbed peace be upon him and his woves according to the given situation. Since the covering of face is something which couldn't be portrayed in prophet's sunnah (PBUH), on should follow the sunnah of his wives. Also if you look at the traditional way of closing during the prophet's (pbuh) time, we come across a black abaya with a khimar on top that was thrown forward, covering everything from head to chest. So that's historical evidence as well.
I love my niqab 💜 here is the thing- In order for the middle to exist there must be the two extremes. I’m not an expert, but I live in a western society which is extremely liberal. As a leader of my family and household I find it necessary to express extreme modesty and it is absolutely freeing. InshaAllah my children will find the middle path which is best for them. We have to be realistic about the societies we are apart of and the messages we are sending our children.
In shaa Allah**

I do niqab but i do not cover my hands and when i give and take something from shopkeeper i don't feel good when someone consistently look my hands
Heyy. MashaAllah i appreciate u for wearing the niqab. If u feel uncomfortable u can wear gloves so that no one can see ur hands
Thank you so much for the information. I was really confused about this Matter.
Depending on your school of Fiqh, Islamic jurisprudence! it varies! Many of the Early Scholars don't consider the face to consetuate Awrah.
the Quran doesn't mention the face as part of the 'awrah' at all. The concept of 'awrah' has been elaborated upon and interpreted by scholars over time, the face is not awrah
According to Imam Abu Hanifa, the founder of the Hanafi school of jurisprudence, wearing the hijab, which covers the hair and body, is considered obligatory for women. However, he did not deem the niqab, which covers the face, as obligatory. Imam Abu Hanifa's stance was based on his interpretation of Islamic texts and principles, which emphasized modesty while allowing some flexibility in women's dress code.
Imam Abu Hanifa's opinions were derived from his interpretation of Islamic teachings, including the Quran and the Hadith. While there isn't a specific verse in the Quran where Imam Abu Hanifa explicitly mentions his stance on the obligation of hijab and the niqab, his jurisprudential rulings were based on his understanding of various Quranic verses and hadiths related to modesty and dress code.
One verse often cited in discussions of modesty is Surah An-Nur (24:31), where Allah instructs believing women to lower their gaze and guard their modesty, and not to display their adornments except what is apparent (such as the face and hands). Interpretations of this verse may vary among scholars and schools of thought.
Imam Abu Hanifa's legal rulings and interpretations were documented in his works and were passed down through generations of scholars within the Hanafi school. His opinions on the obligation of hijab and niqab are based on his scholarly understanding of Islamic sources and principles.
Imam Malik ibn Anas, the founder of the Maliki school of jurisprudence, is renowned for his contributions to Islamic law. While he emphasized the importance of modesty and decency in dress, his stance was not that of it being an obligation of niqab (face veil)
Scholars argue that Imam Malik's position was that hijab (covering the hair and body) is obligatory for women, but he did not require the covering of the face with a niqab. They base this interpretation on his writings and the practices prevalent in his time and region.
Ibn Hazm: An Andalusian Muslim scholar from the 10th century known for his contributions to various fields of Islamic knowledge. He held the view that covering the face (niqab) is not obligatory, but rather, covering the hair and body (hijab) is sufficient for women's modesty.
Ibn Taymiyyah: A prominent medieval Islamic theologian and jurist known for his strict adherence to the Quran and Sunnah. While he emphasized the importance of modesty in dress, he did not mandate the wearing of niqab. He considered hijab (covering the hair and body) as fulfilling the requirements of Islamic dress.
Ibn Qudamah: A Hanbali jurist from the 12th century who wrote extensively on Islamic jurisprudence. He held the opinion that while hijab is obligatory for women, covering the face (niqab) is not mandatory.
2 of the other Fiqhs/ islamic jurisprudence/Schools of thought made Niqab Obligatory for muslim women
both Imam Hanbali and Imam Shafi'i are known for their views on the obligation of niqab for women in certain situations. In the Hanbali school, niqab is generally considered obligatory for women in front of non-mahram men. Similarly, in the Shafi'i school, niqab is considered obligatory in specific circumstances, particularly when there is a risk of fitnah or temptation. These views are based on their interpretations of Islamic teachings and jurisprudence.
Well, nowadays even if we try to cover our faces except eyes which are permissible to be seen, these men who don't have any nafs control still look at us, at our eyes, passes comments saying 'Ma Sha Allah' 'Assalamualaikum' and what not, Allahu Akbar. I've faced this a lot. Idk now what else we as a women should do at this tough times even after covering our whole body and face they're still looking at us. It's the major problem of men who couldn't control themselves and making us feel uncomfortable.
Burqa?
@@jaybeanzx Yes, with abaya

I'm thinking Allah made this an issue of dispute for people because it is something that may not be broadly dispensable because every person is different and stages is beauty as well as levels are different. For instance, old women are excluded from having to wear a covering at all as long as they are not extravagant in their clothing. Why is this? Because due to age their beauty is lessened. Similarly it could be the case that the question of niqab vs hijab is one based in practicality and logical reasoning of the individual. If the woman knows she has beauty that attracts a lot of attention then perhaps a niqab is best suited. If the attention is less in others then maybe hijab is suitable. We are not all given the same levels of beauty as people, these are our individual trials so it makes sense that the choice of the matter is left with the individual and their level of piety. As opposed to a fixed absolute ruling. Allah knows best.
Clothing is covering the body. If you force someone to cover themselves its oppression but if you force someone not to cover themselves that's also called oppression. Regardless, we should see wisdom in every verse of Holy Qur'an and sunnah of prophet MUHAMMAD SAW. So if anyone asks you why you follow certain conditions in Islam, you would be able to answer them. If you notice these rules and regulations of Islam, you will find them simple and easy. And it gives you tranquility and protection. You will feel that if these rules should be followed everywhere as it promotes a man's well being and opens the way to Jannah.
If womans beauty is huge argument. Everyone should also learn to guard of their thoughts also because thats where the sin begins from.
How u gonna explain that to the kafirs?
prevention in Islam is better, if a woman can refrain from showing off her beauty for the sake of Allah, then it can prevent the man from looking at her beauty and prevent any sexual thought coming into the head of a man. because it is hard to guard against the evil thought and the waswas of shaitan when seeing a beautiful woman for a man, there are many pretty religious man in history who fall for the fitna of woman, even the Prophet PBUH said that “I have not left a trial after me more harmful to men than women.” so its best for women to cover her face as it is also a source of beauty.
@@winterain7087sadly not all women will cover themselves and wear niqab and burqa. You go to a non Muslim country and there's a whole different picture. What do you do then? Let your evil thoughts or shaytan get to you? Better to prevent yourself doing a sin which is looking at the women folks and not expect others to make it easier for you because not everyone will do it for you.
Opinion of most scholars is that niqab is not fardh, that khimar and jilbaab is fardh. That the hands and face are not awrah according to most scholars. The wives of the prophet s.a.w have different rules in the sharia to other women. There are so many narrations of female sahabah who did not cover their faces. And those who follow different opinions need to except there are other valid different opinions
The most authentic opinion is that niqab is fardh.
The earliest opinions, from narration of ibn Abbas, indicate that it is fardh to cover your face.
When Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies.” [al-Ahzab 33:59], he covered his face, leaving only one eye showing.

Proof that This saying is weak
In this saying the Narrater is Ali ibn Abi Talha who heard nothing from the Tafsir of Ibne Abbas.

Ibne Tahmaan narrated from Imam Yahya bin Maieen He(Ali ibn abi Tahan) heard nothing from Ibne Abbas (Sawalaat Tarjuma:260)
c). Imam Ibne Abi Hatim said

g) Shaykh Nasir ud Din Al Bani Replied
The hadeeth of Ibn ‘Abbaas about exposing only one eye is commonly used by those who insist that women are obliged to cover their faces in spite of their knowledge of its inauthenticity. In fact, one among them also declared it inauthentic.
Thank you so much My Muslim brothers
Mother Aeysha was lost because she was covered completely, after that she faced very difficult situation, Allah subhaanallah talah send Surah Noor for that situation, Allah subhaanallah send the fard dress code for women to cover their chest area properly, Males and females must lower their eyes, staring at people is completely haram. There are lot of bad incidents happening for example raping, killings under covering faces. Allah subhaanallah talah says in Quran don't cross the limit, it is haram. If this(covering faces)kind of fatwa stopping people to acceptance of Islam ,who will responsible for that. May Allah guide us all to the right path .
To blame fatwas based on Quran and Sahih Hadith's and say that, that is what stops people from entering Islam is wrong. Allah SWT allows whoever He wills to enter Islam, and if someone doesn't accept Islam it is not meant for them to enter Islam by the Will of Allah.

We often miss the point that Fiqh or Islamic ruling always have a range. This is how human is. If we all test our blood, we see the normal range and healthy is to be within. Our sight, and hearing, all are in range. Nothing is static. So saying one openion alone is right and available is like having learned a book, but has not learned man. Islam is for man to practice not for books. So try to be a better Muslim day by day and follow whats best based on one's faith and confidences. Sametime leave the rest of the people also a space as all are not the same in knowledge, faith etc. . Though there is no uniform in this, the purpose of Hijab never changes with time.
That was clear, espacially dr. Zakir Naik was clear. May Allah swt reward you 🤲

May Allah make it easy for you my lovely sister, look the thing is, your family won't be always totally happy with your decisions, and it is something good to be obedient to your family, but the obedience towards Allah must be above everything. I can tell you about my experience, my Dad wasn't at the beginning totally happy, because we live in a nonmuslim country and he feared hate for me, but I was totally sure about it, even if me too in the beginning maybe not, so the first days were difficult because of doubts, but I stuck in, know SubanAllah I won't be without anymore. My father also accepted me with it. Allah azza wa jal is the changer of the hearts, you can have absolutely trust in him. He never made it difficult for me, not once Alhamdullilah, quite the opposite, everything went beautifully since that. It is the best decision I made. Do you know what the best part in obedience towards Allah is? He alone make everything easy if you trust in him, it isn't because of me, because of Him, He gave me strength, even people become nicer to me than before, but if they wouldn't have, I wouldn't really care either, we are here to please Allah not the people. Allahs promises are true, Shaitan and even people may deseive you.
Allah is always truthful to all his promises, so if you trust in him, he will change everything around you. This world is nothing but a test, so are the people around us. I pray that Allah make it possible for you to wear it for his sake, and give you all the best in Dunya and Akhira, Ameen.

Why are people thinking over the surface, for saying it’s mandatory. NO! see, everything in islam is for a reason, and hijab itself is for avoiding fitnah. What’s mandatory is covering anything which might come across attractive, something that catches attension. But Niqaaab, if you know you’re in an environment where hijab itself is quite enough then there’s no purpose left for doing niqaab. Because a man is also commanded to lower their gaze but if someone wants to disobey or involve in fitnah then what gonna they do on looking at your bare face when they can already look at a bunch of women showcasing their beauty on the same time. So a woman without niqaab with no attention catching component is NOT a disgrace or dishonor to her husband. Oh but if a husband is so insecure to feel disgrace which he shouldn’t, can convince her wife to wear niqaab. Again not force her arrogantly but convince her through love. And i think woman will do anything if it’s with love. But again intension matters more, so if a woman covers face upon husband demand but her intension turns to becoming a pick me to other people, then niqaab (even hijab) is useless in such case
If it is not fard then who suggested it to be an option? In my knowledge, it was mandatory for the Mothers (AS) of believing people.

Norman Ali khan is not a scholar and he didn't study Sharia like other scholars. I don't know why they put his opinion with the other scholars it's an insult to their knowledge to be honest.
I wasn't wearing hijab before the more I got closer to Allah the more I felt silly about my past views when I didn't wear one , I was thinking of scholars that they are uptight and Strict but when Allah showed me the real value of face cover by experiencing it as I'm wearing one , I wore it and I can tell you for sure , men can't see anything from us we are like queens , if proper hijabi Muslima feels like she is a princess , the niqabi feels like she is a queen 👑 That's all I can say ❤

According to the Holy Quran, there is no any single mandatory prohibition regarding face covering.It depends on place,time & person.
Always say Quran and Sunnah. If you only say Quran, then it gives the wrong impression. Muslims would think that you're a Quranist (Nauzubillah). May Allah ﷻ protect us all. Ameen!

@@asra2705 The first thing that more of the 66% of men look first is the bosoms and it is confirmed. wearing niqab or gloves during umrah is forbidden, when praying is forbidden, some rules that the women of the prophet sws had were only for them. and it is very clear in the hadith were the prophet sws said that when a woman arrives to the age of menstruation, she can only show her hands and face and he used the same word that it is used in the coran. Very clear.
People should also learn not to forget that niqab is good but it doesn’t give you jannah in the otherside…..there’s something that Allah wants you to go with in the day of judgment, with all the good niqab if you don’t go With it , you may be a looser…may Allah forgive and help us go with those things that will make him accept us in jannah…❤❤

@@tanveer6514 ok thankyou
Quick question for those who are arguing in favor of covering the face. If during the holiest of Islamic obligations the Haj, a woman is not required to cover her face. Why would she be required to cover her face when she’s going to the market?
Ihrām Niqābs exist so...
brother don't open the door for the shaitan to whisper in your head. One can question many things, for example...in a hadith Rasulallah ﷺ said purification is half of the religion, then on the other hand we are asked to purify ourselves by dirt if water is not available. You see this is our logic and our deen doesn't work according to people's logic as logic is subjective.
The hadith is-
Abu Malik at-Ash'ari reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Cleanliness is half of faith and al-Hamdu Lillah (all praise and gratitude is for Allah alone) fills the scale, and Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) and al-Hamdu Lillah fill up what is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one's faith) and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur'an is a proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves. (sahih muslim 223)
Really? So in Mecca they are not obliged to cover their faces?
Because its allowed by Allah to do it at Hajj but not in normal life.
Its obligatory in hajj also.. Only one has to protect cloth touching ur face. It can be done with cap.. I started covering my face in hajj.. Because i got to know its compulsory in hajj also. Hajj is not farz n hijab is farz. So anything without farz(hijab) Cant be performed good (hajj)

Depending on your school of Fiqh, Islamic jurisprudence! it varies! Many of the Early Scholars don't consider the face to consetuate Awrah.
the Quran doesn't mention the face as part of the 'awrah' at all. The concept of 'awrah' has been elaborated upon and interpreted by scholars over time, the face is not awrah
According to Imam Abu Hanifa, the founder of the Hanafi school of jurisprudence, wearing the hijab, which covers the hair and body, is considered obligatory for women. However, he did not deem the niqab, which covers the face, as obligatory. Imam Abu Hanifa's stance was based on his interpretation of Islamic texts and principles, which emphasized modesty while allowing some flexibility in women's dress code.
Imam Abu Hanifa's opinions were derived from his interpretation of Islamic teachings, including the Quran and the Hadith. While there isn't a specific verse in the Quran where Imam Abu Hanifa explicitly mentions his stance on the obligation of hijab and the niqab, his jurisprudential rulings were based on his understanding of various Quranic verses and hadiths related to modesty and dress code.
One verse often cited in discussions of modesty is Surah An-Nur (24:31), where Allah instructs believing women to lower their gaze and guard their modesty, and not to display their adornments except what is apparent (such as the face and hands). Interpretations of this verse may vary among scholars and schools of thought.
Imam Abu Hanifa's legal rulings and interpretations were documented in his works and were passed down through generations of scholars within the Hanafi school. His opinions on the obligation of hijab and niqab are based on his scholarly understanding of Islamic sources and principles.
Imam Malik ibn Anas, the founder of the Maliki school of jurisprudence, is renowned for his contributions to Islamic law. While he emphasized the importance of modesty and decency in dress, his stance was not that of it being an obligation of niqab (face veil)
Scholars argue that Imam Malik's position was that hijab (covering the hair and body) is obligatory for women, but he did not require the covering of the face with a niqab. They base this interpretation on his writings and the practices prevalent in his time and region.
Ibn Hazm: An Andalusian Muslim scholar from the 10th century known for his contributions to various fields of Islamic knowledge. He held the view that covering the face (niqab) is not obligatory, but rather, covering the hair and body (hijab) is sufficient for women's modesty.
Ibn Taymiyyah: A prominent medieval Islamic theologian and jurist known for his strict adherence to the Quran and Sunnah. While he emphasized the importance of modesty in dress, he did not mandate the wearing of niqab. He considered hijab (covering the hair and body) as fulfilling the requirements of Islamic dress.
Ibn Qudamah: A Hanbali jurist from the 12th century who wrote extensively on Islamic jurisprudence. He held the opinion that while hijab is obligatory for women, covering the face (niqab) is not mandatory.
2 of the other Fiqhs/ islamic jurisprudence/Schools of thought made Niqab Obligatory for muslim women
both Imam Hanbali and Imam Shafi'i are known for their views on the obligation of niqab for women in certain situations. In the Hanbali school, niqab is generally considered obligatory for women in front of non-mahram men. Similarly, in the Shafi'i school, niqab is considered obligatory in specific circumstances, particularly when there is a risk of fitnah or temptation. These views are based on their interpretations of Islamic teachings and jurisprudence.

Jazak ALLAH Khairan Kaseera
Question: if hijab and niqab is mandatory, then at the time of prophet and sahabi, did all muslim women at that time (both free women and slave women) wear hijab or niqab?
@bleh boop my point is, if niqab or hijab was mandatory to women then there would be no different for muslim women whether she was a slave woman or free woman. but actually, we hear different story that slave women should not wear the same clothes with free women.
All Muslim women at the time of Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ والہ وسلم wore a hijab and a niqib . They covered themselves with a jilbab ( which is basically a really big shawl) . They were covered from head to toe . They slave women did not wore the hijab because they were not muslim . This hukam was implemented to differentiate the Free Muslim women from the slaves. Muslim women were not slaves .
@@khudaija3916 do you know how illogical of your comment is? Well,.. according to Quran 24:31, it is clear from the ayah that they (the women) who already wear niqab or hijab or headcover or veils to cover their chest or bosoms. So the ayah is not talking about someone who doesn't wear hijab then they were told to wear hijab. Secondly, regarding the a slave muslim woman who wore niqab, are you joking? they were slave, right? and did they have money or belonging or property to buy clothes to cover their whole body? Furthermore, if they were slave, they can be sold to or bought from their masters. Then, how people would bought them if they cover their body? obviously, they should not cover their whole body in order to see their physical body (before people would like to buy slave).

Nowadays, even when women covered their whole body there are men who went out of their way to take advantage of those women.
And what about lowering the gaze. What? Men is exempted from following Allah's order? Men should be emphasised to lower their gaze too just as much as women are ordered to put on the hijab/niqab.

No one is exempted.
@@Dobbyisfree000 yeah man totally true it is
Both vice and versa should be taken into consideration and not just on particular gender. My opinion
This is why I think Allah made this an issue of dispute for people because it is something that may not be broadly dispensable because every person is different and stages is beauty as well as levels are different. For instance, old women are excluded from having to wear a covering at all as long as they are not extravagant in their clothing. Why is this? Because due to age their beauty is lessened. Similarly it could be the case that the question of niqab vs hijab is one based in practicality and logical reasoning of the individual. If the woman knows she has beauty that attracts a lot of attention then perhaps a niqab is best suited. If the attention is less in others then maybe hijab is suitable. We are not all given the same levels of beauty as people, these are our individual trials so it makes sense that the choice of the matter is left with the individual and their level of piety. As opposed to a fixed absolute ruling. Allah knows best.
Well if niqab is obligatory and face considered as "awra" , how come its haram to do Hadj with niqab or pray in front of Allah (the.most devine time) without covering the face. With other terms they are saying you should cover your face in normal societies.because this is not good for the society but then its okey to take it off in Mekka where also most of.the paticipants are men ???????. My opinion is also that Covering the hairs is beauty and it should.be covered but covering the face would not be obligatory otherwise how women can live in normal society ....during the prophete time women were not working and gaining their own money, they did not have to travel and go through scans machines etc.....there are other ways to conceal the beauty by covering your shape , hairs and avoiding tones of make up etc.....and stay modest without attracting any bad behaviour. Allah knows best and may allah guide us to his right path
"how come its haram to do Hadj with niqab" - you still are required to cover the face and this is from the scholars. you cover it with a veil. niqab has an opening for the eyes and this is not allowed. the prophets wives also covered their faces while doing hajj when non mahram men were approaching. please do research before making an essay
" but covering the face would not be obligatory otherwise how women can live in normal society" - Either you wear a niqab with an opening for the eyes or a thin veil over the eyes which you can see through.
also men are more attracted to faces of women over hair. for example a bald woman but she has a seductive face without ant would catch a lot of attention. A woman with hair and an above average face with makeup would likely get less attention. the face is more important than hair. it is universally agreed by all men. I have never heard a man said that they like a woman because of her hair. the face always matters more and this causes men to become astray.

Sisters if you don't follow one of the sheiks/ustadhs stop disrespecting them or insulting or ridiculing other Muslim scholars pls stop backbiting. And please don't follow your whim and desires sisters also Islam is not picking what you desires
There is no blame on the Prophet’s wives ˹if they appear unveiled˺ before their fathers,1 their sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their fellow ˹Muslim˺ women, and those ˹bondspeople˺ in their possession. And be mindful of Allah ˹O wives of the Prophet!˺
Surah al-ahzab verse -55
I conclude saying that our prophet Muhammad (sallallahu walaihi wa sallam) has been sent as role model to all mankind so if it is a rule for his wives then it is obvious we must follow their path.
Some of my sisters are confused and might be going astray if u have a doubt plz read the above surah from Quran by urself not just listening to satisfying opinions.
Allhuma khair.
no. in many parts of the quran where allah orders us something to do that we MUST follow, he addresses us with "tell the believing women" or "tell the believing people" or "people of faith will.."
if you read the full surah you can tell starting from 33:50 that allah tells exclusive gifts only for the prophet and not for the rest of the believers. he's telling a story at this point, no orders, no demanding, nothing of what you thought it is. also, the word unveiled is not clear enough whether it means taking off the hijab or having your face uncovered.
Dr Zakir Naik gave the best answer. He's very educated.
I'm thinking Allah made this an issue of dispute for people because it is something that may not be broadly dispensable because every person is different and stages is beauty as well as levels are different.

Thankyou so much for the guidance
why is niqab not obligatory during hajj and umrah?
Women's wear there too
ua-cam.com/video/wnePPuQcoas/v-deo.htmlsi=9SsdsMkSgaQnMT8B hope this answers your question In Shaa Allāh
do you agree that women view men with the same bad intentions that men are often accused of? If yes, it would make sense to suggest that men should cover themselves from head to toe. However, if your answer is no, this explains why men are given certain limitations but are still asked to dress modestly and avoid exposing their body parts.
😊Hijab is not a piece of cloth on your head
by Asma Bint Shameem
Hijab is not a piece of cloth on your head. It’s a way of life.
Just because some of the sisters have their head covered, they think that the requirement of Hijaab is fulfilled. They don’t realize that wearing a Hijaab requires much more than just covering your head.
Actually, if you think about it, Hijaab is the way you talk…..the way you walk….the very way you carry yourself. In fact, Hijaab is an attitude in itself. Its a whole way of life.
Allaah says:
“And say to the believing women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their beauty (zeenah) except what is apparent of it, and to extend their headcoverings (khimars) to cover their bosoms (jaybs), and not to display their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers, or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their womenfolk, or what their right hands rule (slaves), or the followers from the men who do not feel sexual desire, or the small children to whom the nakedness of women is not apparent, and not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments. And turn in repentance to Allah together, O you believers, in order that you are successful.” (Surat-un-Nur: 31).
Here are some of the more common issues in light of this verse about the Hijaab.
Well, my head is covered. What more do you want?
If you look carefully at the ayah, it clearly states that the head covers (khumur) should be drawn over the neck slits (juyoob). Khumur is the plural of the Arabic word “khimar” which means a headcover. Juyoob is the plural of the Arabic word “jaiyb”, which refers to the neck slit (of the dress).
Yet, some sisters just cover their head with something, and think they are fulfilling the rights of Hijaab, although part of their hair or body is showing, or their whole neck and chest area are exposed. Actually, that was the way of the women of Jahilliyah.
Al-Qurtubi said: “Women in those days used to cover their heads with the khimar, throwing its ends upon their backs. This left the neck and the upper part of the chest bare, along with the ears. Then Allah commanded them to cover those parts with the khimar.”
So secure the scarf well around your face, covering your neck/chest area, and keep those half sleeves and capri pants for your Mahrams
Sorry.…tight jeans and short shirt just don’t cut it
You can’t wear tight jeans and a short shirt with a piece of cloth on your head and think this is Hijaab. Nor can you wear anything else that is tight, describing the shape of the body in any way, even if it is long. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
“In later (generations) of my ummah there will be women who will be dressed but naked. On top of their heads (what looks) like camel humps. They will not enter into paradise or (even) get a smell of it.” (Muslim)
If it is see-through, its NOT Hijaab
You CANNOT use chiffon or other see through material to cover your hair and body. Everything should be covered and the color of the skin underneath should not be visible.
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) once received a thick garment as a gift. He gave it to Osamah b. Zayd, who in turn gave it to his wife. When asked by the Prophet why he did not wear it, Osamah indicated that he gave it to his wife.
The Prophet then said to Osamah “ask her to use a “gholalah” under it (the garment) for I fear that it (the garment) may describe the size of her bones.” (Ahmad, Abi-Dawood)
(The word gholalah in Arabic means a thick fabric worn under the dress to prevent it from describing the shape of the body).
The Hijaab shouldn’t attract attention
The dress should not be such that it attracts men’s attention to the woman’s beauty. Allaah clearly states “not to display their beauty (zeenah).” Yet, Subhaan Allaah, some Hijaabi sisters are dressed in such a way that they attract more attention to themselves than they would if they didn’t wear Hijaab!! How could such zeenah be concealed if the dress is designed in a way that it attracts men’s eyes to the woman? It beats the purpose of Hijaab.
Allaah tells us:
“And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance…” [al-Ahzaab:32]
What about make-up and perfume???
Wearing make up is also part of the zeenah that Allaah orders us NOT to display. So if your head and body are appropriately covered yet you are wearing bright red lipstick or dark eyeliner such that people confuse between you and a raccoon….uh sorry, that’s not Hijaab. And keep those nice fragrances for the home, between you and your husband. That’s part of Hijaab too, even if you are going to the Masjid. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
“Any woman who puts on perfume and passes by people so that they can smell her fragrance, is an adulteress.” (al-Nasaa’i, Tirmidhi: hasan by Albaani)
Tinkling Jewelry and Jingling bracelets
‘Loud’ and tinkling anything, be it jewelry, bracelets, clip-clopping shoes, little bells on clothes, you name it, if it jingles or makes noise, it is against the principles of Hijaab, because it attracts attention to the one wearing it. That is what is meant when Allaah orders us in the above verse…“not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments.”
No laughing, joking, or hanging out with non-Mahrams
Some sisters assume that since they are properly covered, its okay for them to sit around and talk, laugh, joke, etc. with the men, but that’s not right, even if he is ‘the Shaikh’.
Allaah says:”. . . then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire, but speak in an honorable manner.” [al-Ahzaab:32]
So talk to them when there is a specific need, and in a manner that is not necessarily rude, yet it is polite but firm.
Staring at the brothers or ‘checking them out’ is NOT Hijaab
Allaah orders us to “lower your gaze” in the above verse. Why? Because a single ‘look’ can say more than a thousand words. So, even if you are properly covered, keep those eyes down, conduct yourself with ‘Hayaa’, and avoid ‘fitnah’.
‘Chatting’ on the internet/phone is not part of Hijaab, either
There is no such thing as “we’re just friends”. Talking to non-Mahrams is wrong even if it is through the internet or telephone. There are too many stories of illegal relationships, fornications, broken homes, extra-marital affairs and runaway brides to even mention. That is why in Islam anything that leads to haraam is also haraam. Allaah says:
“Do not (even) come close to fornication, for it is an indecency, and its way is evil.” (Surah Israa:32)
Be careful, even in the way you walk
Remember, you are not a runway model displaying the latest fashion. Walk with modesty and hayaa and you will be respected. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
“There are two types of the people of Hell that I have not seen yet….women who are clothed yet naked, walking with an enticing gait…..” (Muslim).
Don’t shake hands with non-Mahrams. Its part of Hijaab
It is not permissible to shake hands with a non-Mahram, because the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
“For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than to touch a woman who is not permissible for him.” (at-Tabaraani saheeh by al-Albaani).
And no, it is not rude to refuse to shake hands with non-Muslims. Simply politely explain that its part of your religion and they are very understanding.
Stay away from the men’s areas
I see many sisters entering the Masjid from the men’s entrance, or standing idle in the hallways or where there is a chance of unnecessary mixing with the brothers. What for?
Don’t we have a separate entrance for ourselves? Why do you think Allaah ordained the Hijaab in the first place? To avoid fitnah, by reducing temptation and separating the genders.
“The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said to the women on his way out of the mosque when he saw men and women mixing together on their way home: ‘Give way (i.e., walk to the sides) as it is not appropriate for you to walk in the middle the road.’ Thereafter, women would walk so close to the wall that their dresses would get caught on it.” (Abu Dawood)
Hijaab is also to conceal your sister
Although some sisters wear the Hijaab themselves, they forget that they cannot talk about another sister and her beauty in front of their own husbands, brothers, etc. Remember, part of your Hijaab is to cover your sisters ‘awrah’ as well.
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
“No woman should mix with a woman and describe her to her husband so that it is as if he can see her.” (Muslim)

May Allah bestow His Mercy on the early emigrant women. When Allah revealed: "... and to draw their veils all over their Juyubihinna (i.e., their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms)..." (V.24:31) they tore their Murat (woolen dresses or waist-binding clothes or aprons etc.) and covered their heads and faces with those torn Muruts.

It is an order from ALLAH to all muslim women to cover their faces too, so instead of arguing needlessly and without knowldge above all, try to understand and study deep Quraan and Sunnah. And ALLAH knows best.
No it is not mandatory to Muslim woman to cover her face , this person has an opinion which doesn’t follow the majority Muslims.

"Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her)
said: "When the verse 'They should draw their veils over their necks and bossoms' was revealed, the ladies cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their heads and faces with those pieces of cloth"

This is the scholar who says it’s sunnah to drink camel urine astaghfirullah. If a veil is wajib then why did Allah swt command women not to cover their faces in hajj and umrah
The ruling of Hajj and unrah are different. You can check the hadeeth of Aisha. She said they were using niqab but once they are in ihram they use to remove it. Say for example, men do not wear underwear when in ihram. Camel urine is medicinal please read about this. I have families who are into prophetic medicine. I know what cancel urine can do for you even against spiritual attack
Camel urine is medicine. This man is a scholar no Matter how much you attempt to dismiss him. Yes AstaghfirulLah.
@@Molan_MediaAnything fard can not be changed.
In the form of ahram during Hajj and Umrah, women must cover their faces but not with a piece of cloth that touches their face. Hazrat Ayesha R.A said that she covered her face during the state of ahram when some non mehram came by and uncovered it when they passed.
@@amantubillahi9628Prophet never asked anyone to drink urine. Urine is dirty. And Islam is pure. Bukhari has 2 different hadeeth. He was drunk while writing most of it
Sorry where in the Quran it says to wear the niqab. Not compulsory
Sorry where in the Quran it says music is haram ?
Sorry where in the Quran it says Gold and Silk are forbidden for men ?
Sorry where in the Quran it says menstruating women shouldn't pray or fast ?
Sorry where in the Quran it says that there are 5 obligatory prayers, how they should be performed and their specific timing ?
I agree with you on the fact that niqab may not be compulsory, but the reasoning and logic you used is flawed and honestly very dangerous. Quran is a critical guide yes but it won't have a comprehensive list of every single issue or scenario life throws at you. And le'ts not forget that scholars aren't pulling stuff out of thin air. Their disagreements stem from interpreting complex ideas all while taking into consideration historical context and cultural nuances and language. So Quran only type of approach will only lead to some pretty misguided concluions. And Allah knows best.
Depending on your school of Fiqh, Islamic jurisprudence! it varies! Many of the Early Scholars don't consider the face to consetuate Awrah.
the Quran doesn't mention the face as part of the 'awrah' at all. The concept of 'awrah' has been elaborated upon and interpreted by scholars over time, the face is not awrah
According to Imam Abu Hanifa, the founder of the Hanafi school of jurisprudence, wearing the hijab, which covers the hair and body, is considered obligatory for women. However, he did not deem the niqab, which covers the face, as obligatory. Imam Abu Hanifa's stance was based on his interpretation of Islamic texts and principles, which emphasized modesty while allowing some flexibility in women's dress code.
Imam Abu Hanifa's opinions were derived from his interpretation of Islamic teachings, including the Quran and the Hadith. While there isn't a specific verse in the Quran where Imam Abu Hanifa explicitly mentions his stance on the obligation of hijab and the niqab, his jurisprudential rulings were based on his understanding of various Quranic verses and hadiths related to modesty and dress code.
One verse often cited in discussions of modesty is Surah An-Nur (24:31), where Allah instructs believing women to lower their gaze and guard their modesty, and not to display their adornments except what is apparent (such as the face and hands). Interpretations of this verse may vary among scholars and schools of thought.
Imam Abu Hanifa's legal rulings and interpretations were documented in his works and were passed down through generations of scholars within the Hanafi school. His opinions on the obligation of hijab and niqab are based on his scholarly understanding of Islamic sources and principles.
Imam Malik ibn Anas, the founder of the Maliki school of jurisprudence, is renowned for his contributions to Islamic law. While he emphasized the importance of modesty and decency in dress, his stance was not that of it being an obligation of niqab (face veil)
Scholars argue that Imam Malik's position was that hijab (covering the hair and body) is obligatory for women, but he did not require the covering of the face with a niqab. They base this interpretation on his writings and the practices prevalent in his time and region.
Ibn Hazm: An Andalusian Muslim scholar from the 10th century known for his contributions to various fields of Islamic knowledge. He held the view that covering the face (niqab) is not obligatory, but rather, covering the hair and body (hijab) is sufficient for women's modesty.
Ibn Taymiyyah: A prominent medieval Islamic theologian and jurist known for his strict adherence to the Quran and Sunnah. While he emphasized the importance of modesty in dress, he did not mandate the wearing of niqab. He considered hijab (covering the hair and body) as fulfilling the requirements of Islamic dress.
Ibn Qudamah: A Hanbali jurist from the 12th century who wrote extensively on Islamic jurisprudence. He held the opinion that while hijab is obligatory for women, covering the face (niqab) is not mandatory.
2 of the other Fiqhs/ islamic jurisprudence/Schools of thought made Niqab Obligatory for muslim women
both Imam Hanbali and Imam Shafi'i are known for their views on the obligation of niqab for women in certain situations. In the Hanbali school, niqab is generally considered obligatory for women in front of non-mahram men. Similarly, in the Shafi'i school, niqab is considered obligatory in specific circumstances, particularly when there is a risk of fitnah or temptation. These views are based on their interpretations of Islamic teachings and jurisprudence.
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan (may Allah preserve him) said: "The correct view as indicated by the evidence is that the woman's face is 'awrah which must be covered. It is the most tempting part of her body because what people look at most is the face, so the face is the greatest 'awrah of a woman. This is in addition to the sharia evidence, which states that it is obligatory to cover the face.
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and 2,499 protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer 73 palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks, and bosoms)..." [al-Nur 24:31]
Drawing the veil all over the juyub implies covering the face.
When Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the verse (interpretation of the meaning): "O Prophet! Tell your
wives
and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies." [al-Ahzab 33:59], he covered his face, leaving only one eye showing. This indicates that what was
meant by the verse was covering the face. This was the interpretation of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) of this verse, as narrated from him by Ubaydah al-Salmani when he : asked him about it.
There is Hadith of Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who she said: "We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram, and when men passed by us, we would lower the Khimar on our heads over our faces, and when they moved on we would lift it again."
Education has given people the chance to think for themselves, and see the conflictions between the truth and so called 'religious' writings. Eventually all people will have an education that will free them from the lies of religion.
Most importantly to wear the hijab and the Niqab for the sake of Allah
May Allah keep us all steadfast in deen. Ameen
But women are also attracted to men's arms, muscles, beard, jawline, eyes or face but he doesn't need to cover.. so becoming completely invisib is not the only solution. We all need to purify our minds respect the opposite gender and lower our gaze.
It might be true that men are more sexually attracted so women need to do more pardah but I'm not sure abut covering the face.
But it’s always mostly man harassing us so
I also thought about this.
True. Women do get attracted towards men. So the ayah revealed first and foremost states
" Command the believing women to lower their gaze..... " And then mentions the hijab. Moreover, even if the woman is attracted, she cannot harass the man, but only seduce him ( that too when the man allows her to do so) .
No, women don’t need to cover up more, the men just need to stop acting as if they are above Allah’s law and do better at lowering their gaze. Both genders are commanded to lower their gaze and cover their private parts.
we don't rape men for it tho and the god fearing women lower their gaze we don't ask men to cover their muscles now do we??
Salafis be like: cover your face, cover your body, cover your palm and feet and your eyes and cover the fact that you exist.🤣🤣
Bruh majority of us Muslims learnt from the Qur'an and the widely accepted prophetic tradition that the face is NOT part of awrah and therefore need not be covered.
There are many scarf-wearing Saudi-oil fed Wahabi and Salafi so called Sheikhs who will tell you many things that boils down to this: "as a woman you are allowed to breathe and breed. Now serve the men and be happy."
Sorry my dear, we women have been given brains too, we read and think and learn. Allah is just as much our Lord as Allah is yours. Then why do you think Allah will deliberately reduce women's quality of life and make it so difficult that they can not function at all in society?
The first "sheikh" here, I 've seen him in one of yt shorts saying that his wife covers herself from women too. As in, she does not remove her face covering in front of other women to be able to eat at a family gathering etc. This is ridiculous. I mean cover all you like (or may be don't) but don't claim it to be Islam unless it is firmly rooted in Qur'an and solid hadith (that does it oppose the Qur'an). Also NAK did a great explanation, it helped me a lot. Thanks.
u clearly don't know that imam shafi'i and imam ahmed said that niqab is apart of awrah. U clearly r just brainwashed kid who doesn't know about the basics of islam LOL.
Luckily our Rabb is Allah and not Imams. Only if you bling follow you would be abd of imams

Quran teaches us modesty first. It is about our BEHAVIOUR. You’re right in your comment. Let’s not debate over this everyone should do their best for themselves! Deen of Islam is for all of us to thrive together.
I don’t agree with them following Imams like that. I’m not accountable in front of them but to My Creator and Master only.

I think many of these injuctions and attitudes are cultural not religious. God sees into our hearts and that is what counts after all.
Covering face is not mandatory cause.... because there are women like me who have problem breathing inside the naqab on face........I don't feel good when I have naqat on my face ... my mind don't work where to go what to do.....so it's not mandatory...... stop of argument....and the guys who are saying than lower your gaze
Just start simple just wear a normal long coat you hair will be coverd and it's easy. At least that way u trying

The man should not look at the woman's face in the 1st place and should not always fall on the woman to cover their face , in that case the man should cover his face too - I've worn the hijab, loose respectable clothing from a young age in a non-Islamic country and have never in all my decades had anyone make a rude comment about my scarf. First and foremost a Muslim has to have respect for herself, her faith and her almighty creator. Alhamdolilah wa shokr lilah everything is a blessing from Him, the good things to be grateful for and the bad, to learn from and improve one's faith

Slave women didn’t cover. Not even their chest in some areas was bare. They had to fight for the right to cover. Some covered and were punished for it as they were not free women. In time they allowed them to cover.
Folks had right hand processions they could do with what they wanted.
In time it changed.
So yeah most today would say taking procession of people by force is wrong. Turning them into concubines is wrong. And stopping women from covering due to any status men place upon them is wrong. Even though the Quran doesn’t directly say so.
Same thing in reverse. Forcing women to do anything they’re not ready to do is wrong. All we have to do is worry about our own personal practice and treat everyone with kindness and respect as long as they do the same.
Men talk about women's garments, what is must be but they forget to put on their own hijab. Lower ur gaze, closing eyes is the hijab of men
Scholars talk about everything in religion regarding all genders ages and societies
@@YussefAbdelhady Lets be honest Islamic scholars never stress more Men's accountability in sexual assault and moral bankruptcy as much as they do on women.They talk so much on women being fitna that it just feel hatred and misogny.If a women dresses non provocative then she should cover her head ,well after covering head,cover face then after covering face put cover on eyes like Afghani burqa in Taliban regime,seems like they just wanted women to disappear.
@namra
The thing is not everything is materialistic and "oppresive" by your standards. Everything in the religion is decreed by allah not the scholars. If a scholar says something without evidence from the quran or sunnah then their words are nothing.
Women cover because the creator of the universe told them to do so, thats it. Any interpretations or reasoning for the wisdom behind it is human ijtihad. Thats it
Men on the other hand have so much decreed upon them by allah exclusively, including jihad, spending money on the family, lowering their gaze and not looking at women (even if theyre covered) and much more.
Islam isnt abt controlling women or controlling men its not the christian church. Islam is about adhering tk the word of allah swt.
If you dont believe rhay the quran is the word of allah then we talk abt that with evidences and logic. But if you do believe it then you have to adhere to it.
And allah knows best
@@YussefAbdelhady there is no doubt about your articulation, brother. However, I believe scholars have to preach to avoid men doing wrongs too. Because the majority of speeches specify women instead of men. It is understandable in such a destructive time of the world and manipulation of non-muslims. Lovering gaze is described in Quran and narration from Prophet (peace be upon him and his prodigy).
In addition, I do believe that the reason of spreading prostitution is due to men instead of women, because, men demand it as a customer of women who offers her body. Therefore, without discrimination both male and female must obey and follow the rule if they are believer.
May ALLAH Guide and Retains us in his Rope!
@Agil Aliyev
Where did you get the statistics to say the "majority" only talk about women
I on the other hand see more scholars talking abt men lowering their gaze and asking allah for iffa and much more. The media just spotlights the parts where they talk about womens part, and glorify it so that is seems to people that they only talk about women
Wallahy talk about women wouldnt even be more that 15% of their speech
We have a lot more going on than what is being displayed brother.
I respect Zakir naik's opinion but about Niqab i dont think he is adding all exalmples through ahadees to cover mandatory.
When Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “O Prophet!

In the Sunnah, there are many ahadith, such as: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The woman in ihram is forbidden to veil her face (wear Niqab) or to wear the burqa’.” This indicates that when women were not in ihram, women used to cover their faces.

why are we making mandatory something that isn't.... for man? so we make woman cover more than what was commended of the woman? if its compulsory Allah will make it clear that it is. if there are situations when she doesn't have to, its shows that it's not compulsory. if woman have to cover everything bcaz its fitnah for man, when does lowering your gaze applies to man? if woman are made compulsory to cover everything.
exactly my thought!! what does a sister do in a country where niqab is forbidden? move out? what if she is a child? and her parents can't afford to move to another country? and when shes old enough.. she cant leave without a mahram by her side.. so many things that could put you off from wearing niqab alhamdulillah at least the hijab is allowed. nowadays no work place will take you with niqab, especially in western countries. allah knew this. it makes only sense that he made at least hijab compulsory and whoever can afford to wear the niqab, shall wear it.
I can't understand is it woman's responsibility to control man's feeling.
Just lower your gaze. Khalas. No fitnah...
Oh Man please STOP STOP STOP.
Let's burried us if we are Fitnah for men. I'm Exursted.
Exactlly, they tell like we need to protect the man while man is the qawammun
It is required for the balance in the society and for the safety of an individual woman. As men may tease her if they saw her without proper covering. At the same time if woman insist on not covering and giving the whole responsibiloty to men they wud also argue over not fulfilling the responsibility.

@@firdausparveen4849
A man has his own hijab as well. It’s not only because of their gaze.hijab means modesty in general . It’s the way we carry ourselves and the way we live and dress. It redefines beauty on its own, making others focus on your character and your inner beauty ,rather than your outer beauty. People take us more seriously and show us more respect,when being modest.it’s like a protection from Allah. It keeps you from men with bad intentions and from other things like zina,etc…
Although it is an obligation, Allah gave us a mind of our own so that it is still your choice not to wear it. But remember that disobedience will be punished by Allah one day if you choose not to make tawbah before returning to him.
And i have question!! Though i have no clear cut idea about the topic?? What about eyes?? Eyes hold also beauty and can be attractive... Then why it is not impermissible to hide eyes...with a network types cover by which you can see the outside but your eyes can't be seen???

keep telling yourself that
You can't simply say something and not give your reasons
Differences in what isn't clear is a mercy from Allah. Why argue.If niqab was fard it could not be removed in hajj.

@@ShahzadAhmad-nb6si There are too many lies in the Quran to print them all here, so here are just a few.(Proof that the Quran was written by men)

Earth created before stars.
Earth and heavens torn apart.
Heaven made from smoke.
Seven Earths.
Seven heavens.

b) Geocentricism.
3) Embryology.
There are also many other faults in the Quran which prove it must have been written by the ignorant people of the 7th century and not by any 'god'.
If the Quran is false, then isn't 'god'?
Here are 2 more big lies from the Quran
1) The Quran and Bible describe how 'Allah' created the first human from CLAY or Dust.
This is what primitive people thought, but in reality, humanity was created through evolution (proved beyond doubt to be correct).
2) The greatest miracle in the Quran is that sperm is formed between the backbone and ribs.
That just isn't true. Sperm is formed in the testicles.
A real 'god' would have known these facts, proving that the Quran was created by men who were ignorant of evolution at the time.
This does not disprove 'god', but it proves the the Quran was written be men in an attempt to prove that a 'god' exists.
The Quran contains so many scientific faults that it could not have been written, or influenced, by any 'god'.
The science in the Quran is that of the Sumerians, the Greeks and the Egyptians and is outdated.
A real 'god' would not have made those mistakes. Men wrote the Quran.
@@ShahzadAhmad-nb6si Thank you for taking the time to respond, I truly appreciate it.
1 - "Cloak" is not veil. The closest thing Cloak comes to is, Abaya. Also, what you are referring to is maybe "Jilbab", that too is Not Niqab. Jilbab is, as you mentioned, Cloak.
2 - As you wrote, "all over their bodies", Veil does not cover the entire body, just the Face. However, a Cloak or Jilbab, does cover the entire body.
3 - "This indicates that what was meant by the verse was covering the face.", Sorry it doesn't. Also, when you use the word "meant", the word itself is equivalent to "Assumption". As for "interpretation", two people can interpret the same sentence in many different ways. Depending, on What the person interpreting has on his mind.
4 - Prophet Muhummad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The woman in ihram is forbidden to veil her face (wear Niqab) or to wear the burqa’.
Are you not aware, that if you are not wearing a Abaya, or have your entire body covered, the women are not allowed to enter the Haram Makki?
Also, please explain to me, Why is it that Women are not allowed to enter the Haram Makki with Niqab? If it was Compulsory and Mandatory, then the Haram should have not been exempted. Right?
5 - You wrote "Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: “We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram, and when men passed by us, we would lower the Khimar on our heads over our faces, and when they moved on we would lift it again.”
My dear brother, Khimar, is Not a Niqab. It is the black garment that is over the head, covers the entire face. On the other hand, Veil, covers ONLY the Mouth and part of the Nose. The eyes are exposed.
The word خمار Came from the word خمر, which I am sure you understand means what.
6 - Sunnah, is not Fard. You get rewarded to follow Sunnah, but don't get an Ithm (اثم ) for leaving it.
Remember, a Woman's real beauty is seen by yhe beauty of her Eyes and not mouth or part of the nose, which the Veil covers.
Bottom line, Show me, where in Quran or Hadeth is says that All Women should wear a Niqab. It shouldn't be difficult, it is an Arabic word.
NOTE: PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG, AL HAMDU LILLAH, I AM A PRACTICING MUSLIM. I AM JUST SEARCHING TO A CLEAR CUT MESSAGE, NOT AN ASSUMPTION. NOT KHIMAR, NOT ABAYA, NOT JILBAB. NOT INTERPRETATION, NOT "WHICH MEANS", NOT INDICATES. PLEASE SHOW ME IN WHICH AAYA, OR SURAH, OR HADITH, DOES IT CLEARLY SAY النقاب فرض على كل مسلمه AND THOSE WHO DO NOT FOLLOW IT, WILL GET "ITHM (أثم).
SUNNAH IS ALSO KEEPING BEARD, BUT THEN, HOW MANY MEN KEEP BEARD, LOOK AT YOURSELF, YOU DON'T HAVE A BEARD, AT LEAST IN YOUR DP. DOES THAT MEAN YOU WILL GO TO HELL FOR NOT KEEPING A BEARD?
As some people in India, Pakistan, Bangaladesh, Srilanka, think that Men who do not have a beard, their Salaat is batil. Some believe that those who do not wear a cap, their Salaat is batil. If this WAS true, see if they would allow people without beard or wearing a cap enter ANY MOSQUE in the world.
Once again, thatnk you for your detailed response. Appreciated it.
