:salamext: sister,
The beauty of a woman resides (predominantly) in her face.
For this reason, it would not make sense for a muslimah to expose this beauty to the world.....and more-so, to complete strangers.
The one who is staring at your picture (un-beknown to you) is guilty of not guarding his gaze.
But so will we be guilty, if we are the means of
enabling this sin to occur.
Alhamdulillah, it is a favour of Allah that He has guided you to hijab.
In shaa Allah, you will also oneday appreciate the wisdom and the honour that Allah (subhanawataƔla) has given women, by means of the niqaab.
I hope that you will listen to this short talk by Mufti Menk in shaa Allah:
The message being that:
"Everyone who is trying - TRY HARDER.
There is no level that you can get to, and say that now I have arrived."
We should constantly be striving to get to the next level, beyond the one where we are....
:wasalam:
