Narrated 'Aisha
(the wife of the Prophet) 'Umar bin Al-Khattab used to say to Allah's Apostle "Let your wives be veiled" But he did not do so. The wives of the Prophet used to go out to answer the call of nature at night only at Al-Manasi.' Once Sauda, the daughter of Zam'a went out and she was a tall woman. 'Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her while he was in a gathering, and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda!" He ('Umar) saidso as he was anxious for some Divine orders regarding the veil (the veiling of women.) So Allah revealed the Verse of veiling. (Al-Hijab; a complete body cover excluding the eyes). (See Hadith No. 148, Vol. 1)
Surah Al-Ahzaab, Verse #59
O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks ("Jalabib") veils all over their bodies (screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way Tafseer Al-Qurtabi) that is most convenient that they should be known (as such) and not molested: and Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful."
Surah An-Nur, Verses #30 and #31
And Say to the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and 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 palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, head cover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms)
Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Hadith # 282
Narrated Safiya bint Shaiba (Radhiallaahu Ánha) "Aisha (Radhiallaahu Ánha) used to say: "When (the Verse): "They should draw their veils over their necks and bosoms," was revealed, (the ladies) cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their faces with the cut pieces.
"Imam Shafi, Malik and Hanbal hold the view that niqaab (covering the faceand the hands completely with only a small area for the eyes to see) as being compulsory (fard). Imam Abu Hanifa says that niqaab is Wajib and the face and hands can be exposed provided that there is not fear of desire if one looks at the female face, otherwise if there is the slightest chance of desire developing in the looker (the meaning of desire is that the looker would see the female face and think that she is beautiful, sexual thought is not what is meant) then exposing the face and hands is Haraam.
Peace.

But werent the above quotes/verses meant for the wives and daughters of the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wasallam), as they were pure and different to other women?
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Just to make it clear the point of this page is NOT to say if a woman doesn't wear niqaab she will go to Jahunum, as we know there are two valid view points on the hijab. One view held by the Ullima is that the niqaab (covering the face) is wajib (compulsory) and other Ullima hold the view it is Mustahab (recommended and the best thing to do but not compulsory). This page is to explain to those people who say things like "The niqaab is not in islam or is not important" or is "bad for dawa" these people should understand that the Niqaab is from the Quraan and Hadith and even if you hold the view of it not being wajib it is still THE BEST thing and recommended and anyone who wears it is to be respected. And is anyone discourages the wearing of Niqaab or denies it being in Islam or makes fun of someone who wears it they should fear ALLAH and take their shahadah over.
It is Waajib upon a woman to wear the Niqaab according to the Hanafi Madhab. This means that if a woman leaves it out, she will be sinful. (Ahkaamul Qur’aan vol.3 pg.476)
Ok the second link has confused me even more with the post by brother Al Habeshi!
(Ameen to the dua's)
ukhtee forget that, who had the most knowledge? the imaams of the madhaahib right? their opinion was that niqaab is wajib at least, imam abu hanifa said that its permissable to expose face so long as there is no chance of fitnah for other men, however we all know that a beautiful girl exposing face in public will without a doubt cause fitnah.
wallahi its crystal clear to me, i've even made my sisters see it with the help of Allah, Alhamdulillah.
its up 2 you now inshaAllah
i take whats clear over whats foggy, what do you find to be most clear?
-
My tears testify that i have a heart
yet i feel me and shaytan never part

"Those who resist Allah and His Messenger will be humbled to dust, as were those before them: for We have already sent down clear signs. And the unbelievers (will have) a humiliating penalty."
May Allah (swt) forgive us. Ameen
(say Ameen)

I dunno...I'm still...Not that I don't want to do it...Its just well...There are 2 conflicting opinions...I hate it when that happens...Why can't people agree on one thing?!

do you think the beautiful sahabiyaat would walk around exposed when its known that they would cut just a small slit in a cloak to see?
or ukhtee do you perhaps think the evidence stronger besides the evidence of the madhaahib?
i'd like to make this dua once again inshaAllah:
may Allah continue to guide this ummah and all its sisters.
May he lift any traces of doubt in our hearts.
May we openly accept the clear truth with proof.
Ameen thumma Ameen !
I hope im not coming across aggressive :X :X
Ukhtee i know your sincere, so inshaAllah do whats right.

Argh!!!
*wana move to Yemen/indonesia* lol (inshaAllah)
i thought about all this when i started wearing full sunnah clothing and beard, guess what though, now the love and respect i get from my peers is so... subhanAllah.
why do we look for pleasure in other places besides the obediance of Allah when Allah has promised happiness to those in his obedience for eternity in jannah...?
