Covering one's face is nothing to do with culture, and is everything to do with Islam.

See this post, which explains with evidences from the Qur'an and sunnah, sahaabah, the four imams, and the scholars: http://www.islamicboard.com/clarifications-about-islam/134314071-niqaab-integral-part-islam.html

i wrote that i m not allowed to put links now, but as you know we can get something and its opposite on the same subject with evidences of course.
when i was young i used to take some islamic courses and i do remember clearly our fiqh teacher repeating a muslim woman has to cover all of her body except face and hands. It was also written on our the fiqh book.

Assalamu-alaikum sister,

There are indeed 2 schools of thought on this subject.
The ruling that makes niqaab waajib upon women being the more favoured opinion (as is well evidenced in linked article).

It should not be our purpose to criticize/ look down upon those who chose not to wear the niqaab - each is entitled to follow what they believe would be best for them, in this dunya and aakhirah.
Our duty is only to advise and provide all the evidences that support it.

If you are able to provide us with authentic evidence indicating otherwise (you may type in the link without including 'www') , we would also welcome this.

As'salamu alaikum,


May Allah reward you for your intentions and actions. As said by others, main point to remember is that it meets the criteria of islamic hijab and does not attract attention. The abaya you have posted may be simple for many but not according to others, it seems more like a one piece dress that you would wear at home or non-muslims wear outside. Another important thing to remember is to buy an abaya that is not thin or flimsy and to wear it over normal clothes, not have it as the only thing on otherwise it becomes very awkward seeing that on a windy day.

What about this burqa..

That's the pakistani burqa that was worn by most women in the 70/80s. It would be the best one if you are living in pakistan, the number of layers you can add over your face is the best feature it has.

niqab #1 is ok in my opinion (if it doesn't show the outline of the face) but it shouldn't be colorful and attractive. a plain shade - even if other than black - is ok so long as it isn't bright or has designs that make it attractive. additionally the scarf shouldn't be too short.
abayas should be plain and not have colorful embroidery or shiny sequins or chrystals etc. my abaya has black chrystals at the sleeves but they don't shine like diamond-like ones and they are only onthe edges of the sleeves. however some women have shiny gem-like ones all over or on the shawl which attracts attention.

another thing is that the abaya should be loose and not tight and the scarf / shawl shuld be long and not just around the shoulders.

Thanx Writer Sister

please remember that the outer garments is not to bring attention to yourselves,

Depending on where you are, a niqaab could garner far more attention than even the skimpiest of outfits.
