Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Do we await a response from your eminence through one of the newspapers or magazines regarding the objection that arose concerning the issue of hijab? And will there be a statement from the Permanent Committee regarding the concept of the Shari'ah hijab to remove the much confusion that has occurred among people regarding this issue?
Answer:
My brothers, the matter of hijab (the covering prescribed for women) is clear; it does not require debate or responses. The matter is clear, but these people do not want the truth. You can never turn back the one who does not want the truth. As for the one who wants to preserve the hijab, it has been clarified, praise be to Allah. There are printed books and treatises by imams and scholars that are available. So the one who wants to preserve it should review them. He should review the treatise on hijab by Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Manba'd (may Allah have mercy on him), review the treatise on hijab by Shaykh Muhammad ibn al-Kharaj al-'Utaymi (may Allah have mercy on him), and review the book *Al-Hijab wa Libas al-Salah* (The Hijab and the Garment of Prayer), which is a treatise taken from the Tafsir (exegesis) of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah of Surat al-Nur. It is a concise treatise. And whoever wants a more detailed explanation should go to the book, the Tafsir of Surat al-Nur by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. This is a reality, praise be to Allah. There is no book [missing from the recording], but the one who wants falsehood and wants to follow his desires cannot be turned back, even if you bring him everything in the world, because he follows his desires.[Al-Furqan 25:43] And he is [Al-Furqan 25:43]?! To follow his desires, he does not follow what is beautiful. And the one who follows his desires, there is nothing [to be done], there is nothing, no matter what you write, no matter what, there is no need for writing. It was already written and available. The one who wants the truth should review these books and these treatises.

Have you seen the one who takes as his god
أَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُhis own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?
