asalamualykum warhmatulahi wabarakthu

Is it faraz upon the believing women to wear a niqqab? If yes is there any hadith's to prove this?

I wear the niqqab yeah (im not trying to big myself up or anyfin) but some of my mates feel that it's not faraz whereas i feel it is, but they mentioned that if you don't wear it in Hajj then im sure you don't need to wear it when you not in Hajj :sister:

discuss please

jazahka Allah khair

Salamualaikum,
Allahualam, idk how hard it is, but i can only imagine. There r only like a few muslims in my school, no hijabis, n im the only kufi-i. kufi-a? w/e. n it was hard to get myself to do it, but once i did it i felt a lot better. so, im guessing it's the same w/ hijab n niqaab (but a lot harder). i bet it's a lot harder but a lot more beneficial. insh'Allah, may Allah give the women of this ummah that zeal to put on the niqaab. ameen.

Same here.
I used to hate the jilbab

:mad: but i was like its either these people or Allah and thats when i relized its not about these people.
Its about Allah.
On the day of judgement Allah is not going to blame these people tht u ''tried to impress''.
I was conceited but than i started thinking why??I mean whats the point of even showin'off and all people will do is do the evil eye.
At first,it was'nt easy but i had to fight my nafs.
Im telling u if u knew me b4 me wearing the burka u would hate me!!!
I hated my life,i hated everything i was ready to give up all i had.
my muslim friends,my twin sister (who i love very much even though we fight about everything!!!!)i was ready to give up my oh,so concerned muslim mother and i was even ready to give up my father(who tries to make u smile when ur down)and my oh,so adorable 5-year-old sis.and even my lil.bro
when i look back i think i was a real idiot.
I look at my life every day as a blessing and i treat it like one.
I have truly changed.
4 me its like the before and after pics.and i like the after pics better than the before thats 4 sure!!!
Salam

Asalamualikum wr wb,

What do I think about Niqaaab? I think its obilgatory in Islam to wear Niqaaab. Its in Surah Ahzab and Surah al Nur. What else do I need to know? I feel soo good about wearing Niqaab. After all women is like a pearl in a shell.

No men have rights to look at me beside my hubby : ) insha'Allah!!

I'm not on sale, so everyone cant check me out. Reserved for my future hubby insha'Allah.

Wasalmaualikum wr wb : )

salaam

the quran says ''oh believing women, draw ur veils all over 'juyubihinnah'..''
the word juyubihinnah means a cloth covering from head to toe- all parts of your body INCLUDING your hands and face!!

the reason why some schloars say that it is sufficient to cover everything except hands and face is because of a hadith in which the prophet (saw) told asma(ra) that when a girl reaches the age of puberty then she has to cover everything except her hands and face.
But this hadith is weak and even if it is Ok it has to be before the verse for veiling was revealed because asma(ra) would never have come in front of the prophet (saw) like that otherwise.

islam is clear on veiling-aisha(ra) said in a sahih hadith that when the verse for veiling was revealed, women were ripping off spare pieces of cloth to cover their faces with.

another hadith states that when we go on hajj then we should uncover our faces-which is proof that your faces should be covered alongwith everything else already!

lots of so-called scholars have come forth with their ''modern'' opinions and are trying to let it easy on those who are too lazy to follow islam properly!

i hope Allah makes the truth manifest-ameen!
