Question:
What is the ruling on the niqab that women wear these days?
Answer:
The niqab is not a complete covering; it is an incomplete covering, especially since women have now diversified in their niqabs, and what is meant for modesty has become a means of adornment. They use it to beautify themselves and are creative in it, so it does not cover and is not permissible. It is obligatory for the woman to cover her face with a complete covering from which nothing is visible. This is what is obligatory for the woman. Yes.
