The Meaning of Hijab and Whether the Face and Hands Are Awrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I heard on a cassette tape an opinion by Shaykh Hasan Ayoub and Shaykh Ahmad al-Sibtan that the intended meaning of the word hijab is covering the head and the sides of the neck, while there is nothing wrong with leaving the front of the face and the hands uncovered. Is this correct? Of course, answer her.
Answer:
This is what some scholars said, and we will find the answer to it. In fact, some scholars said that his statement is weak, that his position is the weaker one, and that it is not correct. The correct view is that it is all awrah (the part of the body that must be covered). Yes.
