What is the Shaykh’s opinion on a woman wearing the niqab?

Question : May Allah reward you. A questioner says: We walked. You are wearing. Basically. What is the ruling on you wearing it once? Her niqab?

Answer : Welcome. He asks: What is the ruling on a woman wearing the niqab? We say that we do not issue a fatwa that a woman should wear the niqab, because if the door is opened for women, they will expand it. So if you say the niqab is permissible, and that is for a woman to uncover her eyes so she can see, she will not stop at that. In the first week, it will be to the extent of the eyes; in the second week, the eyebrows will be added, yes, and the upper part of the cheek; in the third week, the nose and half of the forehead. That is to say, the door should not be opened for a woman. However, in principle, the niqab is permissible for a woman, but I do not issue a fatwa for it out of fear of expansion in this matter. Egypt. And as for me, I issue a fatwa regarding the Saudi niqab.
