Faraz Rabbani – Weekly Q&A What Is the Ruling of Niqab

So there's a question about the niqab. Yes.

We've got answers on that. You can see

it's you can see them there. We've answered

that previously,

fully.

And then we have nothing further to add

regarding that.

Yes. The transmitted opinion of the Hanafi school

is that the niqab is wajib,

but it's not intrinsically wajib. It's wajib out

of fear of fitna.

What most of the scholars that I have

consulted with and I've studied with,

both from

Syria

and Iraq

and

Pakistan,

Hanafi Fuqaha,

were trustworthy.

They say that the the obligation for Muslim

women is to wear, you know,

is is to,

wear the hijab and to do so in

a modest manner. Beyond that,

it's a it's a matter of personal choice.

And whether or not to do so in

a primarily non Muslim country given

the state of affairs, that's a matter where

one should consult scholars that one trusts. We

have our answers here based on our consultation

of our teachers

at Seekers Guidance, and we respect

differences in perspective

on such matters.
