The Ruling on Wearing the Jilbab in the Presence of Mahrams
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on wearing the jilbab along with a face covering? We are in the village, in the houses, and on our walks, we are close to one another when we go out and come back in this village. The jilbab is like a prayer sheet, but it is short, reaching to the knee. To what extent is it correct to wear this in the presence of mahrams?
Answer:
Mahrams do not need to be covered from; they look at the faces of their female mahrams, as well as their hands and feet. There is no need for covering in the presence of her mahrams. Covering is only required when leaving the house, because going out exposes her to the gaze of men who are not her mahrams. So she wears the jilbab over her clothes, which are the abaya or the jilbab, as an additional covering and as a precaution. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
