The Muslim Woman’s Veiling Herself from Disbelieving Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it true that a Muslim woman is required to cover herself in the presence of non-Muslim women?
The Shaykh:
The correct view is that she is not required to do so; she does not veil herself from her mahrams, nor from Muslim women or disbelieving women.
The questioner:
He asks me, he asks the agency.
The Shaykh:
Jewish women used to enter upon the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they did not veil themselves from them.
