Question:
We ask you to explain to us the Shari'ah hijab for the Muslim woman. If she is in a country where they oppress the woman who covers her face, is it permissible for the woman to uncover her face or to wear a hat?
Answer:
The hijab for the Muslim woman is that which covers her entire body, including the face and the hands, when she goes out or appears before men. She covers her entire body and nothing of it is exposed. This is the hijab that Allah commanded and made obligatory upon the women of the Muslims. If she is in a society that forces her to abandon the hijab, she should not submit to them. She must be patient. She must be patient and hold fast to the hijab and hold fast to her religion. Even if she suffers what she suffers of harm, she is upon reward. She is rewarded for her patience and her holding fast to her religion.
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saidMishkat al-Masabih 3696, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Obedience is only in what is good." Yes.
