It is clear that during the time you are in Ihraam no cloth should touch ones face, hence the ordinary niqaab isnt permitted, b/cus it touches the face. However there's this special kind of 'cap niqaab' (or whatever you wanna call it) that you can wear which conceals your face without letting the cloth touch your face. Thats what I wore b/cus Im not used to showing off my face to men and I would of been totally uncomfortable with my face all revealed and nowadays its impossible to avoid men during Hajj days, they are everywhere...too many people. And besides...I hate to say it b/cus its sad to say, but there's even fitnah during Hajj days so you have to becareful and the best precaution for someone who doesnt want men to see her face and to avoid fitnah is by wearing something like this cap thing.
However, I used to take it off when Im in a corner or somewhere no man can see me and whilst praying salah since everyone's in salah at this time and no one's looking.
Wa Allahu Alam.
Sorry for bringing this thread up again, but I just had too!:X
