Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, many questions have come in, repeated and revolving around one topic, which is the ruling on a woman uncovering her face and hands.
Answer:
This is a matter of dispute, and it is not permissible to argue about it. The Muslim woman covers her face and palms from men, and this is what has been practiced in this land from generation to generation. Whoever speaks on this matter seeks corruption, not reform. Yes. And he speaks with the tongue of the West. Because the West wants to make women rebel and take them out of the etiquette of Islam. So he speaks with their tongue. Yes.
