Question:
He asks: Is there any advice for women and their guardians regarding the use of the niqab that attracts the attention of men, especially the wide niqab that reveals part of the face and the eyes?
Answer:
A woman must cover herself completely in the presence of men, so that nothing of her is visible. This is her obligation. The niqab adopted now is not a niqab; it is an advertisement for fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and evil. So the Muslim woman should avoid this niqab, stay away from it, and remain with the hijab and covering. This is what is obligatory for her.
As for being lax in revealing the adornment bit by bit, that is Satan. These are the steps of Satan; he gradually leads a person. First the niqab, then after that revealing, then after that the latham, then after that revealing the face completely, then after that revealing the chest. So Satan does not stop with anyone. A woman should fear Allah the Exalted and preserve her hijab. Yes.
