Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A Is Part Time Niqab Hypocrisy

			Are you sinful if you were in a
club outside but at home with
		

			close family members? You when
visiting such as cousins, you
		

			don't wear it? Is it sinful? How
can I break this habit? A woman
		

			contacted me some time ago. She
said that she wants to start
		

			wearing the niqab because you've
never worn it before. And she says
		

			she works somewhere in a hospital
or so. So she can't wear in the
		

			hospital. But can she wear it
outside? And she said she wanted
		

			to do that. But there's people who
are telling her that that's
		

			hypocrisy, you either do it fully,
or you just don't do it at all.
		

			And that's the incorrect idea
here. That's what I'm seeing from
		

			this question as well that if I
wear it outside, but I don't wear
		

			it inside, I'm a hypocrites. And I
don't think so.
		

			You're not trying to I mean,
unless you're trying to show
		

			people I really call but you
really don't. That's a different
		

			problem. Hypocrisy is the illness
in the heart. I mean, this is also
		

			this is just that you find it
inconvenient at home, you're not
		

			ready yet at home. So I would say
that you continue wearing it
		

			wherever you can, if you want to
do so you wear it wherever you
		

			can, because you're going to be
rewarded for that. Same as I can't
		

			pray all my prayers, I miss Fajr
and Isha generally. So is it then
		

			worth doing my daughter ASA? And
Margaret, it's the same kind of
		

			question. The times you do wear it
where you're supposed to wear it
		

			over you, you know where it should
be worn, then you're gonna get
		

			rewarded for that. And where you
can't wear it, where you can't
		

			wear it for your personal reasons,
then you just make it effect. You
		

			you jumped up who basically, you
you jump over that obstacle
		

			eventually. So carry on doing it
where you can do it, don't feel
		

			guilty about not being able to do
it all the time. And that guilty
		

			guilt making you feel that you
shouldn't do it at all. That's
		

			what I'm talking about. So you do
it wherever you can, and then you
		

			start doing it in other places as
well. And Allah gives you strength
		

			for that. But don't abandon it
completely. That's what I'm trying
		

			to say. Generally with the home,
it's a bit more difficult because
		

			outside, there's people who are,
you know, don't know you they
		

			don't care, right, except you will
hear about generally the
		

			experience that has been for women
of study wearing hijab or niqab or
		

			whatever, or guys have started
keeping a beard or something like
		

			that is the initiative format a
few weeks, maybe your friends,
		

			people, you know, your associates,
colleagues, they'll say something
		

			that is the most important time
that's the time you have to be the
		

			strongest. Once you get beyond
like a month. That's all you have
		

			to struggle for. Generally, once
you get beyond the month, then
		

			they get used to it. People like
to talk about something new. And
		

			if they're not doing it, they may
feel guilty. So then they're going
		

			to make you feel guilty. Right.
There's various reasons why people
		

			may speak, they may do it as a
joke, and whatever, you have to be
		

			not sensitive at that time. You
have to be very thick skin. And
		

			you have to keep your gaze on
Allah I'm doing this for the sake
		

			of Allah, I don't care what people
say.
		

			So it's that kind of thing. And
when it comes to families, it's a
		

			bit more tough because it's on an
everyday basis, and then there's
		

			other inconveniences and so on and
so forth. But mainly that's the
		

			way to go. Go for it inshallah.
