Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some women have weak eyesight and need to wear the niqab. They find it difficult during Hajj and 'Umrah because they cover their faces. His question is: Is it permissible for her to wear a face covering that shows only her eyes, and then cover her face with a light covering?
The Shaykh:
If she covers her face and only her eyes are visible, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
The presenter:
That is the end.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Prophet.
