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.
