00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			So there's a question about the niqab. Yes.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			We've got answers on that. You can see
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			it's you can see them there. We've answered
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			that previously,
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			fully.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			And then we have nothing further to add
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			regarding that.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			Yes. The transmitted opinion of the Hanafi school
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			is that the niqab is wajib,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			but it's not intrinsically wajib. It's wajib out
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			of fear of fitna.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			What most of the scholars that I have
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			consulted with and I've studied with,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			both from
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			Syria
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			and Iraq
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			and
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			Pakistan,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			Hanafi Fuqaha,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			were trustworthy.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			They say that the the obligation for Muslim
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			women is to wear, you know,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:52
			is is to,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			wear the hijab and to do so in
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			a modest manner. Beyond that,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			it's a it's a matter of personal choice.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			And whether or not to do so in
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			a primarily non Muslim country given
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			the state of affairs, that's a matter where
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			one should consult scholars that one trusts. We
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			have our answers here based on our consultation
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			of our teachers
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			at Seekers Guidance, and we respect
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			differences in perspective
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			on such matters.
