A Muslim Woman Removing Her Niqab in the West When Harmed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a Muslim woman in the West to remove her niqab or hijab if she is subjected to harm and aggression?
Answer:
It is not permissible for her, and I do not think she is subjected to harm. We have not heard that she is harassed or that she is harmed. Except for the ignorant or the foolish, who are not to be taken as a standard. As for the states, they allow them this, yes.
