Subject: Re: niqaab Author: Laila Nasheeba [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 03:30:13 06/28/02 Fri Author Host/IP: ppp-67-38-51-198.dialup.clevoh.ameritech.net/67.38.51.198 In reply to: Firdaws 's message, "niqaab" on 01:05:26 06/28/02 Fri As Salaamu Aliakoum, Praise be to Allah. In regards to wearing Niqaab or covering the face: There are 2 opinions. Imam Ahmad states the Niqaab to be fard. All the other scholars do not state it to be fard based on the following evidence: There is no such dispute over what constitutes a woman's 'aurah. It is stated that her entire body is 'aurah and must becovered, except her hands and face. Says Allah in the Qur'an, And to display of their adornment only that which is apparent(do not expose any adornment or beauty save the hands and face) It has been authentically related from Ibn 'Abbas, Ibn'Umar and 'Aishah that the Prophet said, "Allah does not accept the prayer of an adult woman unless she is wearing a headcovering (khimar, hijab)." This is related by "the five,"except for an-Nasa'i, and by Ibn Khuzaimah and al-Hakim. At-Tirmidhi grades it as hassan. Narrated Abdullah bin Umar A person stood up and asked, "O Allah's: Apostle! What clothes may be worn in the state of Ihram?" The Prophet replied, "Do not wear a shirt or trousers,or any headgear (e.g. a turban), or a hooded cloak; but if somebody has no shoes he can wear leather stockings provided they are cut short off theankles, and also, do not wear anything perfumed with wars or saffron, andthe Muhrima (a woman in the state of Ihram) should not cover her face, or wear gloves." (Bukhari 3.64) Conclusion: Due to the fact that women are ORDERED by the PROPHET(SAW) to NOT cover their face or hands during Hajj, this shows that the hands and face are NOT awrah otherwise the Prophet would not have ordered such a thing...
