There is nothing that says niqab is fardh as the hijab there is a hadith that says you can show your hands and face and if niqab is fardh Allahu A3lam but to this point the issue is still a little shaky, no one of them is right there both acceptable but the hijab is fardh

and besides if your wearing niqab and the eyes are open, rnt the eyes the doorway to your heart and one thing we need to learn is lower our gaze but I think its alright to wear niqab and maybe better but the hijab is the only obligatory form and we cant deny the hadith about showing the hands and face because it is authentic too

:sl:

which hadith you talking about?

is it the following?

from al-Waleed from Sa’eed ibn Basheer from Qataadah from Khaalid ibn Durayk from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her), that Asma’ bint Abi Bakr entered upon the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) wearing a thin dress. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) turned away from her and said, “O Asma’, when a woman reaches the age of puberty, nothing should be seen of her except this and this” – and he pointed to his face and hands.

because this hadiths weak.theres more on this if this is the hadith your talking about, besides theres a hadith that contradicts this regarding Asma bint Abu bakr RA

It was narrated that Asma’ bint Abi Bakr said: We used to cover our faces in front of men.

Narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah, 4/203; al-Haakim, 1/624. He classed it saheeh and al-Dhahabi agreed with him. It was also classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Jilbaab al-Mar’ah al-Muslimah.

well said bro!:clever:
 
salam!
here are a few of the hadiths i got abt niqaab and hijaab! i hope they are of help!:)




The wives of the Prophet sws used to go to Al-Manasi, a vast open place (near Baqia at Medina) to answer the call of nature at night. 'Umar used to say to the Prophet "Let your wives be veiled," but Allah's Apostle did not do so. One night Sauda bint Zam'a the wife of the Prophet sws went out at 'Isha' time and she was a tall lady. 'Umar addressed her and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda." He said so, as he desired eagerly that the verses of Al-Hijab (the observing of veils by the Muslim women) may be revealed. So Allah revealed the verses of "Al-Hijab" (A complete body cover excluding the eyes).


The Noble Qur'an - Al-Ahzab 33:59

O Prophet sws! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils)* all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

*the arabic word here is Jalabeeb (plural of Jalbaab), which is the loose outer garment that covers all a woman's body. It says here to use the Jalabeeb to cover all, and scholars say this means to use it to cover her head (agree upon by all scholars) and her face (agreed by many scholars, not all) and one or both eyes, in order for it to be known that she is a free woman and so not to be exposed to any harm.


Hadith - Bukhari 6:282

'Aisha 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."


Hadith - Abu Dawud, Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Mu'minin

When the verse "That they should cast their outer garments over their persons" was revealed, the women of Ansar came out as if they had crows over their heads by wearing outer garments.


The lower half of the hijab is a garment that does not show the woman's figure. Jeans and certain obvious garments do not meet this requirement.

Hadith - Abu Dawud, Narrated Dihyah ibn Khalifah al-Kalbi

The Apostle of Allah was brought some pieces of fine Egyptian linen and he gave me one and said: Divide it into two; cut one of the pieces into a shirt and give the other to your wife for veil. Then when he turned away, he said: And order your wife to wear a garment below it and not show her figure.

ma'salamah

what do I think abouy Niqab?

Well, u see, I USED TO wear the niqab. It felt fantastic. I started wearing it at the age of 11. Then, wen I started going to uni with mom for ISOC events ppl (syrians especially) kept telling me that Allah dont want us to cover our faces. This went on for....approx 5 years. Eventually, wen I was 15 I told mom I had enuf of it. I didnt really, it was the ppl I'd had enuf of!!

Wallah! I so regret taking my niqab off. It was my joy and pride....I swear!! Maybe one day wen Im married Ill wear it again......but deep down it hurts to have taken it off.:embarrass

(The true veil is in the eyes of men - Arab Proverb)

Allah ma3akum

p.s: If u ever start wearing the niqab DONT fling it off like I did - Thats the only mistake u can ever make.

The issue of niqab is not agreed upon in Islam. Some scholars view it as obligatory while there is a large group of scholars that maintain that it is simply a voluntary (sunnah) act, not obligatory.

Shaykh Nasiruddeen Al-Albani has written a detailed view on why niqab is not obligatory:
http://www.islamicweb.com/beliefs/women/albani_niqab.htm

Shaykh Muhammad Saalih Al-Munajjid meanwhile argues that niqab is obligatory:
http://63.175.194.25/index.php?ln=eng&ds=qa&lv=browse&QR=2198&dgn=4

More on the subject here:
http://www.muhajabah.com/niqab-index.htm

Ultimately it is up to each individual to follow the opinion they are inclined to, and which they feel is the most correct view.

In the quran,when Allah commands the prophet Muhammed saws to command THE BELIEVING WOMAN TO COVER EVERYTHING:
Surah:33 Al-Ahzaib:Ayat:59
:salaam:
O prophet!Tell ur wives and your daughters and THE WOMAN OF THE BELIEVERS to draw there cloaks *(veils) all over their bodies (i.e,screen yourselves completley except the eyes or one eyes to see the way).
That they should be known (AS FREE RESPECTABLE WOMAN) so as not to be annoyed.
And Allah is oft-forgiving,Most merciful.
Surah:33 Al-ahzaib ayat:36
It is not for a believer man or WOMAN, when Allah and his messenger has decreed a matter that they should have an otion in there decision.And whoever disobeys has indeed strayed into a plain error.
:salaam:
 
salam all

the niqab is so cool! totally :loving: it! i wore out a few months ago but not to school...then i took it off and then after Eid alhamdulilah its on permanently :D ive been so much happier ever since i wore it.......

aaaanyway, i dont think its fradh..well, it kinda is cos you see, you know how men are supose to lower their gaze? well if ure living amongst kafirs like me, then they cant really lower their gaze can they? cos its not like they know anything anyway...so its ure duty to protect ureself. and the more you cover up the more safer/protected u'll feel :)

That verse was abrogated that was before the ayat came down about woman covering everything.
 
Mashallah there is a rise in sisters wearing the niqab these days, i meaning teens and maybe younger mashallah but as long as it makes my sisters comforable its alright with me

I dont know about the obligation but it is better i suppose and more protective

I wearn Niqab Alhamdulillah and have been from since i was 10. But i dont think it's fardh. I know it might be hard on some sisters because of the society and stuff, but really it depends on the individual too. I know some sisters who hussle on the street and wear niqab. They get harassed and all that, but then they have tawakkul in Allah and they dont give up. I really admire them subhanallah. Also about Muslims misunderstanding niqab...loool, my friend told me once that a "sheikh" came to her university and gave a lecture on why niqab was "haram".hehehe.

Niqab is NOT manditory nor it is proven from Quran or hadis ...any one trying to make itr compulsury is trying to surpass Quran and sunnah!

my personal experience and point of veiw it's almost criminal!!

I seen hadiths of the prophet's wives wearing it so its better and more pure I believe wallah there is no difference as long as the person in her heart is modest and follows islamic manners, i think hijab or niqab is okay but the twist you see in society these days is some sisters who wear them actually end up abusing them, having a boyfriend and all that stuff

Exactly, the face isn't seen as 'Awrah,

parts of the body that are not supposed to be exposed to others. For men this is from the navel to the knee. For the women it is all of her body except the hands, feet, and face.

I know the prophet pointed the hands and face in the hadith but speaking of the feet I think a women should cover her feet
