Subject: Hijaab and Niqaab Author: Legae [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:29:42 11/24/02 Sun Author Host/IP: proxy.ndf.mweb.co.za/196.2.45.69 As Salaam Aleikum This question is directed at Shaykh Morsy. My wife wears a full Hijaab (the face cover included). Now the question is: Does the Hijaab have to be black. I know it cannot be brightly coloured and attract attention, however I need a complete daleel on the colour having to be black as opposed to grey, blue or some other colour that does not attract attention. Allah reward you. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Al Hamdlillah. A hadeeth was narrated by Abu Dawood, may Allaah have mercy on him, in al-Sunan, from Umm Salamah who said: “When the aayah ‘… to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies…’ [al-Ahzaab 33:59 – interpretation of the meaning] was revealed, the women of the Ansaar came out looking as if there were crows on their heads, because of their clothing The author of ‘Awn al-Ma’bood fi Sharh Sunan Abi Dawood said, commenting on this phrase: “Their veils were likened to crows because of their black colour.” However, it is not a condition of hijaab that the clothes should be black. And Allah Knows Best. Moustafa Morsy.
