Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There are face coverings for women that consist of three layers, with a niqab in the middle layer, but it is covered by a layer after it. He asks: What is the ruling on a woman in ihram wearing that?
Answer:
A woman in ihram does not wear the niqab, whether it is covered or not, because the hadith says, "She does not wear the niqab." How can we find a way around this and make a covered niqab? No, the niqab is not permissible, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade her from wearing it. Yes.
