The ruling on obscuring the face and drawing a line on the neck
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it sufficient in obscuring the face to obscure the eye and the mouth, or to draw a line on the neck?
Answer:
No, drawing a line on the neck is mere play. These are the features of the image, as if it were fear. But obscuring removes the features of the face, so that there is no nose, no face, no eye, and no mouth. Although complete obscuring is cutting off the head and removing it; that is complete obscuring.
